Highlights
- Only two former registered keepers from new
- Freshly repainted in Porsche Oak Green with wheels refurbished
- Extensive recommission with over £3,000 recently spent
- IMS en RMS olietesten en borescope-inspectie beiden terugkerende helder, met bewijs beschikbaar
- Extended Porsche leather interior with Tequipment accessories
The Appeal
The 996.2 represents the refined second generation of Porsche's water-cooled 911, bringing updated styling, an improved interior and the characterful 3.6-litre flat-six engine. Paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, it offers one of the most engaging driving experiences in its class, and the model's growing appreciation among enthusiasts is well-deserved.
This 2002 example has covered 55,429 miles in the hands of just two former registered keepers and has recently undergone a thorough recommission following a period of storage. The work is extensive, encompassing a new steering rack, new lower arms, new brake pipes, fresh fluids, filters, plugs and brakes throughout — reportedly supported by receipts. Crucially for any 996 buyer, the engine oil has been tested for IMS and RMS contaminants and a borescope inspection has been carried out, both returning clear with evidence available.
The car has been freshly repainted in Porsche Oak Green, complementing the extended Porsche leather interior with Tequipment accessories, which has been professionally reconnolised. Reportedly offered with an external pre-sale inspection for added peace of mind, and with a private registration plate included in the sale, this is a compelling proposition for anyone seeking a well-sorted, carefully recommissioned 996.

Hallo, oude APK's geven herhaaldelijk corrosie aan (remleidingen) aan, wat ik zie dat u met een van de facturen blijkbaar hebt aangepakt; echter, er waren ook (ernstige) problemen met de stuurinrichting en de voorste ophangarmen. Zijn deze opgelost en zo ja, is er documentatie daarvoor? Daarnaast is er een lekkage bij het uitlaatsysteem gemeld en ziet het uitlaatsysteem er gecorrodeerd uit; is hier iets aan gerepareerd en in welke staat verkeert het uitlaatsysteem?

VerkoperHoi, de remleidingen zijn vervangen. Het stuurhuis is vervangen voordat ik het voertuig kreeg, met facturen. Deze ophangingsarmen heb ik zelf in huis vervangen en de uitlaatlekkage werd veroorzaakt door een gebroken verbindingsklem van de verloopkoppeling. Ik heb alle klemmen aan de uitlaat en alle lambdasensoren ter extra zekerheid vervangen. De uitlaat zal er 'geroest' uitzien omdat hij gebruikt is! Houd er rekening mee dat dit een 25 jaar oude auto is met de originele uitlaatcollector en katalysatoren. Alleen de achteruitlaatboxen en buizen zijn op een zeker moment vervangen.

Hoi, in afbeelding 5 zitten daar 3 bubbels boven de achterwielboog aan de bestuurderskant?

VerkoperGoedemiddag, ja, er is opgemerkt dat het de andere dag werd schoongemaakt. Dit is nu rechtgezet. Met vriendelijke groet

Prachtige auto. Mag ik even controleren: weet je of de koppeling, IMS en RMS de originele onderdelen zijn? Ik waardeer het dat de olie getest is. Zijn er ook koelvloeistofleidingen vervangen (vooral die boven de motor lopen)?

VerkoperGoedemiddag, alles wat gedaan is staat in de listing. Het kan zijn dat er dingen zijn gewijzigd, maar omdat de vorige eigenaar is overleden heb ik geen bewijs, daarom de olie getest op specifieke deeltjes om IMS/RMS-slijtage aan te tonen, waarvan het resultaat volledig helder is teruggekomen, dus het kan eerder gedaan zijn of niet nodig volgens de olietest. Met vriendelijke groet

Prachtige kleurcombinatie. Is de Koni-veringsupgrade de Active- of de Sports-versie?

VerkoperBedankt, ik dacht hetzelfde, daarom heb ik ervoor gekozen in plaats van de zilveren waarin het kwam... maakt het interieur veel mooier! Het zijn de rode Active-exemplaren. Met vriendelijke groet, Edd
