2006 Porsche 911 997.1 3.6 Carrera Convertible

Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Low mileage Gen 1 997 convertible 
  • Recent engine overhaul 
  • Recent full paintwork detail 
  • Stand-out yellow with contrasting black features

The Appeal 

The 997 didn’t mess with a proven formula, but for many enthusiasts it did make it better. Returning the classic 911 headlamps and retro-themed interior were signs that the new car was more nimble and more powerful than the car it replaced. 
It was the first 911 to be built around the convertible body style. That makes the drop top as rigid and robust as the coupes and so just as engaging to drive. 
This Gen 1 997 convertible definitely stands out with its yellow paintwork and contrasting black trim and wheels. A recent engine overhaul addresses any concerns related to these engines while a paintwork detail only brightens its brightest of finishes. With low miles and versatile Tiptronic gearbox, this is a 997 that is as welcoming as the summer sun its paintwork replicates.

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.
