The Appeal

The 996-generation Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is an increasingly popular choice among enthusiasts. As the first water-cooled 911, the 996 delivered a major leap in refinement while still keeping the essential rear-engine character that defines the model name.

This year 2000 example is finished in black over Graphite Grey leather and was originally delivered new in the United States, where it was specified with a selection of desirable factory options totaling $6,895 at the time of ordering. The window sticker comes with the car, documenting its complete factory build.

Since then, it has been imported to the Netherlands with both a USA title and Dutch import paperwork, and the EU duties and VAT have been settled. With 59,759 miles indicated, this 996 Cabriolet offers the next owner the chance to buy a well-equipped open-top 911.
