35k-Mile 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet 6-Speed

Description

The 997-generation 911 Turbo was an early high-water mark for the air-cooled era's spiritual successor — a car that took Porsche's twin-turbocharged all-wheel-drive formula and refined it into something genuinely usable every day without sacrificing the performance credentials that defined the nameplate. The cabriolet variant adds a power-folding soft top to that package.

This 2008 911 Turbo Cabriolet is finished in Speed Yellow over Sand Beige leather and was originally built with nearly $30,000 in factory options, resulting in a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) when new of over $165,000.

Notable factory options include the Sport Chrono Package Turbo, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) a 10-mm lowered ride height, Adaptive Sport Seats, Parking Assist System, Makassar wood interior trim, bi-color Sand Beige leather upholstery extending to the dash and door panels, and red brake calipers — a combination making it especially unique among 997 Turbo Cabriolets.

Moreover, this 997 Turbo convertible features a 6-speed manual transaxle paired with a rear differential lock. Performance-oriented modifications include an FVD Turbo Tune, Europipe Stage 1 exhaust, BMC filter, and a complete Sachs Race Engineering clutch and flywheel upgrade, and more as described below.

Now showing approximately 35,400 miles, this 911 Turbo Cab has been serviced under the seller's seven-year ownership at Tills Imports in Fort Myers, Florida, where work performed has included an upgraded Sachs/GT2 clutch combo, replacement of the rear main seal, brake service, and repairs to the top hydraulics.

This 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is now offered in Florida with manufacturer’s literature, service receipts, an options sheet and Monroney Label, multiple keys, the removed factory audio equipment, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.

Additional Information

From the seller: "This car is both a joy to own & a blast to drive. Speed Yellow in a 997 wide body is a head turner – it is a conversation starter on the street, Porsche events, and car shows.

A PPI was recently performed (on 4/17/26 and less than 50 miles ago): outside of some communication port errors (resulting from the aftermarket radio upgrade), a cracked plastic gear that secures the passenger cup holder in place (I have the Pelican Parts aluminum replacement gear), and slight wear on some suspension bushings - it is very clean. If desired, this can be brought back to OEM very easily."
