2001 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (996) GT3RS Replica

Highlights

  • GT3RS bodykit and graphics
  • Just 86,254 miles
  • Comprehensive service history
  • MOT to September 2023

The Appeal

With a completely refreshed design from the chassis to the roof, the 996 was a groundbreaking design for Porsche. Add to that the fact that this was to be the first generation of 911 to feature a water-cooled engine, and it’s definitely one for the history books.
Here we have a well-maintained Carrera 4 that a previous owner has modified with a GT3RS bodykit and graphics package. Benefitting from below average miles, a comprehensive service history and a long MOT, this 996 would make for an excellent daily-use supercar and really does stand out from the crowd.

Summary

The 996 is rapidly becoming more appreciated as a giant leap in the development of the 911. With its robust and powerful drivetrain, it makes for an excellent and very usable daily supercar. 
This example’s fine maintenance record, unusual GT3RS bodykit and below average make it an even more attractive and interesting option for anyone who’s always wanted to put a Porsche on the driveway.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
