2001 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Convertible - Black - 80,188km - 3.6L V6 Automatic AWD
Overview
The 996-generation Porsche 911 Carrera 4 represents a watershed moment in Porsche's history. Launched in 1998, the 996 was the first all-new 911 platform in over 30 years, introducing water-cooled engines, modern electronics, and a more accessible entry point to the 911 lineage. The Carrera 4 Convertible combines the visceral appeal of open-air motoring with Porsche's legendary all-wheel-drive system, delivering genuine all-weather capability wrapped in the iconic 911 silhouette. This 2001 example, finished in classic Black with a tan leather interior, presents as a well-maintained example of this pivotal generation.
The 3.6-litre naturally aspirated V6 engine produces 220 kW (300 PS) and is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission, offering a more relaxed driving experience than the manual variant whilst retaining the performance credentials expected of the Porsche badge. All-wheel drive ensures traction and stability across varying conditions, whilst the power-operated convertible roof allows for genuine year-round usability. At 80,188 kilometres, this Carrera 4 shows genuine use but remains mechanically sound and cosmetically presentable.
The 996 Carrera 4 Convertible occupies a unique position in the modern classic market. Early water-cooled 911s have matured into collectible vehicles, with values stabilising and enthusiast interest growing. This example, with its automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system, appeals to buyers seeking Porsche ownership without the intensity of a manual-transmission sports car, making it an accessible entry point to 911 ownership for a broader audience.
Condition
Exterior paint presents in good order across all visible panels, with the characteristic deep lustre of black lacquer well-maintained. Minor stone chipping is visible on the bonnet leading edge, consistent with highway use and typical of vehicles of this age and mileage. Panel gaps are even and body lines remain straight, with no evidence of accident repair or panel replacement. The convertible roof mechanism operates smoothly, with the tan canvas showing age-appropriate wear and patina rather than deterioration or damage. Alloy wheels are original Porsche specification, finished in silver, and present with minor kerb marks consistent with normal use.
Interior trim is finished in tan leather with black carpeting and black fabric inserts. The driver's seat bolster shows light wear to the leather consistent with 80,188 kilometres of use, whilst the passenger seat and rear seats remain in good condition. The dashboard is free from cracks or lifting, and all switchgear and controls operate as intended. The instrument cluster displays the recorded odometer reading of 80,188 kilometres. Air conditioning, power windows, and power steering all function correctly. The tan leather steering wheel shows minor wear to the grip area, typical of vehicles of this age.
Engine bay is clean and well-presented. The 3.6-litre M96 V6 engine shows no signs of oil seepage or fluid leaks. All hoses, belts, and ancillary components appear intact and in serviceable condition. Battery terminals are clean and secure. The engine bay detailing reflects conscientious ownership and regular maintenance.
