This car is a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet (Type 996). It features the desirable "Triple Black" (body, leather, top) color combo, 18" Carrera 5 spoke wheels, full leather option, Bi-Xenon HID projector headlamps, Porsche stability management (PSM), and the Bose premium audio system. It has the Porsche "Tequipment" Carbon Fiber gearshift and parking break lever. The LED foglights are aftermarket. A notable standard safety feature of the 996 Cabriolet is its automatically deploying rollover bar behind the rear seats, which combines with the reinforced windscreen frame to provide rollover protection similar to a hardtop. The paint has been touched up in a few places and the interior shows little sign of wear. Although the car has done around 109k, the upgraded engine has many less miles -- about 5k. The original 3.6L M96 engine suffered the famous "scored cylinder" failure and was replaced with this rebuilt motor last year. The rebuild was done with the LN Engineering 3.8L kit, featuring LN's "Nickies" cylinder sleeves and forged overbore JE pistons. Internal parts were inspected and wear items (cam chains, guides, IMS bearing) were replaced. The larger engine produces more torque and power, pulling strongly in every gear. This upgraded motor should provide many fast, trouble-free miles in the future.On Jun-23-13 at 21:52:29 PDT, seller added the following information: The car is also for sale locally, and seller reserves the right to end the auction early if sold.On Jun-28-13 at 09:05:50 PDT, seller added the following information: The car will be available for pickup or shipping on WEDNESDAY, JULY 3rd.
