2002 Porsche 996 911 Carrera 2 Tiptronic 3.6

Highlights

Very well maintained with FSH
Just two registered keepers
Well specified and smart-looking 996
Revised car with later 3.6litre 315bhp engine
Long MOT to December 2024 with no advisories

The Appeal

In 2002 Porsche improved an already compelling package. The revised 996 was more powerful and more usable. Perhaps it is no surprise that so many of these well regarded, reliable cars remain as distinctive daily drivers.

Including this one. Its regular use means it comes to market with very good service history - the book has 18 service stamps with extra work detailed in invoices - and a raft of long life checks, brake fluid changes and airbag checks.

Classically finished in silver over black it is usefully equipped with a long, advisory-free MOT to December 2024. This well kept car looks ready for its third keeper in 22 years.
