Vehicle Detail
2002 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet Convertible This 911 has a perfect body. And new tires. Inside is in great shape, no rips. The thing is I live in a small town and I'm tired of having to drive 2-3 hours one way for maintenance. Last year the motor failed. I had a shop try to work on it but they sent the motor off. He sent it to Motor Meister in Southern CA which is a horrible place that filed bankruptcy. He replaced the motor with a used one with 41K miles and put an upgraded LN IMS bearing in it. This cost me 13K. The shop I got the work done did not provide documents and does not want to work on Porches anymore(He is 3 hours one way from me) The place is called Modified Imports in Clarksville, Tn. I just put new tires on this year and had it aligned. It has always drove and handled like a super car should. I'm afraid to drive it because I'm afraid it will break down in it's current condition. Therefore I won't let anyone test drive it. You can buy it based on it having a bad motor now. If it does not bring what I'm asking I'll fix it. The way I look at it is with a total rebuild from a reputable shop that seems to run $7500-$10000 and the body looking good ( although I have been told it met be able to be repaired for $3K). You can have a 911 that looks as good as any with a better than new motor. You can see I put painted light covers on it to give it an updated look. Which alone makes it look clean and better than most 996's. The top is in great shape and everything else worked perfect when I parked it. (it cranks and operates now) You can tell by it conditions that it has been well cared for. The body has just over 100,000 miles.Porsche-Land just outside of Chicago has been super responsive about repairing the car for $9K which is their total rebuild. There are also V8 options that look cool if you do not mind 100% Porsche, I would check out Porsche-Land. I need to add, The fact that this car is priced low enough to repair for less than most 911 convertibles I am finding this is a better option. This allows you to get an exotic car and choose a wise way for repairs. I would not buy a stock car for a few thousand dollars more because it runs good right now, because 996's are ticking time bombs before a few upgrades. Without these upgrade you will most likely spend a lot more money on a running car and face the starting point from where this car is now. If you bid on it be able to pay for it and pick it up within two weeks. 20% down within 72 hours. Do not call if you are out of the country and have some kind of strange way of paying. I want someone to pick it up with that full payment. Clean title 731-607-5266 Thanks
