14k-Mile 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet 6-Speed

Description

The 996‑generation Porsche 911 ushered the automaker into a new, water-cooled era while retaining the brand’s signature rear‑engine balance and everyday usability. Early 996 Carreras equipped with a 6‑speed manual transmission deliver an engaging experience and are increasingly appreciated for their combination of performance, refinement, and analog driving feel.

This 996.1 cabriolet is finished in Guards Red over Savanna Beige leather and is powered by a 3.4‑liter M96 flat‑six paired with a 6‑speed manual transaxle with a limited‑slip rear differential. The car shows approximately 14,100 original miles and is equipped with a color‑matched removable hardtop, black soft top, deployable rear spoiler, and 18-inch Turbo‑look wheels. Additional features include heated power‑adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, traction control with Automatic Braking Differential, and a Porsche Classic Communication Management head unit.

The car's IMS bearing is said to have been replaced in 2024, and over the last year its air conditioning system has been serviced and various fluids have been replaced.

This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is now offered by the selling dealer with owner’s manuals, a color-matched hardtop, a DME report, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Pennsylvania title in the owner’s name.
