996 Turbo Tiptronic S (2003)

Regretfully here for sale is my beloved facelift 996 Turbo. It is presented in excellent condition and has always been comprehensively maintained irrespective of cost.

In my 3 years of ownership it has been maintained by the renowned Porsche specialist 9excellence, indeed it has only just been serviced there last week. It has recently had the following:

Front & rear discs and pads
All 3 radiators replaced
Inner track rod and rear to control arms
New coolant hoses & cooling system rebled
New gearbox cooler
Protective grille to protect radiators
Full geometry
A newly coded key-fob
New battery

The car was originally supplied by Porsche Centre Newcastle in January 2003 and comes with a official Porsche and specialist service record.

The car comes with a full pack of manuals, 2 keys and a comprehensive folder of the cars history, MOTs and maintenance that support the mileage.

SOLD
 
Finally managed to take some photos. Probably the worst time to sell a car but I'm in no real hurry so will just leave this here :)
 
A bit of winter sun... perfect excuse to bump this to the top.

Will probably be putting it on PH and Autotrader in March or so when I get a chance.
 
I added £14k to move up from a 996T to my 997T 3.5 years ago. If I needed that £14k now I'd be after yours. Best colour combo for any 996. :thumb:

It's a shame that in your 3 years ownership you haven't used it more. you've missed out big time.

Good Luck with the sale. :thumb:
 
Thanks for the kind words :thumb:

That's precisely the reason I am selling it, I have hardly used it in the last few years :frustrated: too many cars in the house and with a new beautiful baby the cars are getting neglected :nooo:
 
lovely car. chrikey you really did not do many miles looking at that list of services.

does the Turbo S comes with the X59 pack such as the bigger turbos so they run 450 bhp?

I know they come with ceramics as standard on the S right?
 
No that is a turbo S, this is a tiptronic S (which is a Turbo with the tip gearbox).

The brakes aren't ceramics on this (though it does have new brakes all round!) it just has the Porsche sport yellow calipers.

The lack of use is exactly why this is up for sale, I've got 2 other cars that get used, and with the arrival of our baby this has just been sitting pretty for the last 18 months (as has the M3 as well tbh).
 
Thanks! Pretty much full asking price so couldn't complain at all. Shows that you just need to be a bit tenacious, it's a tough market but price it well, take good photos and write a good ad and with a bit of luck it will sell.

Must admit was a bit sad to see her driving off, they look so good from the back!
