Selling my 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 996 with 120,000 miles. The car is in EXCELLENT CONDITION!!
This car has every option available on the 911 in 1999 including the Porsche Tiptronic Transmission on the steering wheel and Traction Control.
1999 was the first ever year the 911 was completely overhauled by Porsche. All paperwork on the previous models was tossed out and Porsche started from scratch on a brand new 911. On the 1999 911 Porsche introduced the 3.4L Liquid cooled engine producing 300hp, prior to that the engines were all air cooled. The 1999 911 was also the first 911 with a <0.9 drag coefficient all 911's have now and the first 911 with an 50/50 balanced chassis, dramatically improving the handling of the car over previous models. 1999 was also the year Porsche introduced the Tiptronic Gear Box and Traction Control, the Tiptronic Gear Box and Traction Control were available on a limited few 911's and the gear box alone was a $4,000 option! All 911's build from 2000 until 2012 are based upon the 1999 911 just minor changes and like increasing the engine 0.2L etc. Therefore, you can put a 2011 911 next to this car and get inside of it and 95% is all the same.
The car was $89,000 in 1999 dollars!
Tiptronic gear box
cruise control
power windows
power seats
power sunroof
heated seats with 2 settings
traction control
leather interior
6 disc CD changer
The car runs perfect and all maintenance has been done by Porsche North Houston.
The car has new Michelin Pilot tires which were $2,500 installed and new belts and seals done for $1,500, new water pump and coolant expansion tank for $1,200 all in the last 4 months. Also just had the annual inspection done which was $380.
This 911 is my only car so its reliable and very well maintained, I depend on it every day. I live 60 miles from work so I put 120-150 miles a day on her, hence the 129,000 miles. 85% highway miles.
The reason I'm selling her is cause I'm looking at upgrading to a 911 Turbo.
NADA VALUE is $18,550
KBB VALUE is $16,177

Woman rushing to pub nearly causes head-on collision
Wed, Aug 17 2016A woman in a rush to pick up her husband from a local pub caused this close call on a street in England this weekend. The near miss happened on Sunday on the B1253 between Rudston and Bridlington, East Yorkshire, England. A Porsche Cayenne driver attempted to overtake a blue Citroen on a blind curve but didn't see the white Skoda in oncoming traffic. Thanks to the Skoda driver's quick maneuvering on to the grassy shoulder the Cayenne only caused minor damage to the other two cars. Damian Hodgson is the owner of the dashboard camera who was behind the blue Citroen. After the close call Hodgson first stopped to check on the Skoda driver. Driver and car were okay, but a 10-year-old girl in the front seat was in tears. Hodgson then made his way down the road where the Porsche driver was speaking to the Citroen driver. He said the Porsche's driver gave some pretty lame reasons for putting so many people's lives in danger. "She said she was picking her husband up from the pub and was wearing a pair of slippers - but it's no excuse to be overtaking on a blind bend," Hodgson told the Mirror. "She did tell me she always overtakes at that spot though." Hodgson picked up the dashcam after a crash while on vacation in Florida last month. He offered the footage to both the drivers of the Skoda and the Citroen, but both declined. Hodgson told the Mirror that he hopes some good comes from the incident. "If anything comes of this, it is hopefully that the lady Porsche driver has learned a lesson and she will not put others in danger again."

Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center
Sat, 19 Oct 2013In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.
2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.
