The seller offers for sale this Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet (996) from 1999, finished in blue and equipped with a 3.4-liter 6-cylinder petrol engine and automatic transmission. The car has covered 229,000 km, with the engine replaced at 182,000 km by a Porsche dealer. During the last two years of ownership, several investments were made including a new soft top, new wheels and tyres, ceramic coating, CarPlay radio installation while retaining the original Porsche unit, a new battery and alternator, and a service. The engine starts well and runs properly, though smoke is reported when the engine is warm. The gearbox shifts smoothly without unusual noises. The interior is trimmed in leather and presents in keeping with the mileage. It holds a valid technical inspection.
This Cabriolet is fitted with a soft top in neat condition, with fabric and stitching described as being in strong shape and the mechanism operating smoothly and quietly. A removable hard top is also included and is in neat condition, offering flexibility for year-round driving.
The Porsche 911 of the 996 generation marked an important step in the evolution of the iconic sports car. Introduced in the late 1990s, it combined traditional rear-engine performance with modern engineering and improved comfort. The 3.4-liter Carrera models are appreciated for their balance between usability and classic 911 driving dynamics. With precise steering, a distinctive flat-six sound and a timeless silhouette, the 996 remains popular among enthusiasts seeking an accessible entry into 911 ownership. The Cabriolet version enhances the driving experience by adding open-top enjoyment while retaining the unmistakable character that has defined the 911 for decades.
