996.2 Targa manual - In Quebec/Canada

Year: 2003
Make: Porsche
Model: 911
Price: $27000
Mileage: 95000
Color: Silver
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): Can-QC
Transmission: Manual
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive

I am thinking of selling my 911 because in the last 2 years I have hardly used it and I have other summer vehicles that I need to drive also. This car is a joy to drive. I think the clean and simple lines of the Targa have especially aged well, car looks particularly beautiful and the manual transmission just complements it.

Here is the relevant information for a buyer, sorry if the text is a bit long but I like details and transparency: I bought the car 4 years ago from a retired gentlemen in Toronto, who had imported it from the US a few years before. The car was super clean but as I didn't have much history, I sent it directly to the Porsche specialist in Quebec (Service Auto Premium) who went through it with a fine-tooth comb. I have an invoice for nearly 8,000$ in maintenance including the IMS bearing, clutch, suspension, various maintenance parts, then I had H&R coils installed to lower the car by 1" to improve the look. The car curently sit on 8mm spacer to improve the stance. I also replaced the AOS (Air Oil seperator) last summer so in terms of maintenance, nothing to plan for the next few years.

I then took it to my dent removal specialist to remove all the mini dents or imperfections. The car is straight and really on point. I polished the headlights which now look new, and I had it completely ceramic coated.

It's a gray interior initially but I converted it to 2 tones because I had the opportunity to buy a set of 4 black 996 seats . I changed several interior parts to black (shifter, console, carpet, steering wheel, top dash, etc...) and the sale includes all the original parts and the 2 original gray seats in excellent condition. Car has the BOSE head unit with Nav (never updated it as it's pretty old) as well as the Auto climate control.

Clean Carfax and it has never been in any accidents. In its current condition and with up-to-date maintenance, this is a car that could sell for 36-40K cad next summer. I made the decision to list it at $33,900 cad because the tires are near end of life. To be transparent, if I sell it, fine. Otherwise, it's possible that it will stay in my garage for a few more years, I'm in no hurry and I'm letting it go with some regret because it still gives me a lot of pleasure. But I don't have enough free time anymore to justify keeping it.

Do not hesitate if you have any questions. I has been listed the car in Montreal but I live in eastern Quebec. Delivery possible between Gaspé and Montreal (depending on weather) on Nov 17, we can discuss.
