2002 Porsche 911 Targa (996 series) in Arctic Silver with black leather interior, 6-speed manual transmission. In
great condition, always garage-kept, driven only in good weather. 75,500 miles, detailed service and maintenance
records and Carfax available, never any accidents, damage, leaks or other issues. Ready to drive and makes a great
daily driver or weekend toy.
Unlike most other 996-era Porsche 911's on the market, this one had its IMS bearing professionally replaced in 2014
to pre-empt risk of catastrophic engine failure that has afflicted some older 996's (plenty of information online
about this risk and the benefits of IMS replacement -- highly recommended for peace of mind; already done =
thousands of dollars saved).
New clutch, flywheel and sparkplugs were also installed at the same time in 2014. New battery, wipers in 2015.
Oil changed within last 1500 miles, new tires within last 2500 miles.
Options include carbon fiber shift knob and handbrake lever, heated seats, radar detector, 6-CD changer, Bose sound
system, 18" alloy wheels, leather interior/seats.
Targa roof was redesigned in 2002 -- if unfamiliar, the entire top section functions as a large sunroof, and slides
back underneath the rear window to allow driving with the roof open. See photos. Rear window opens up as a
hatchback to allow easy access to storage behind/on top of rear seats.
Car has always been garaged and hand-washed and is in great condition considering the age. Retains its original
shine (original paint throughout), no rust or accidents/damage.
Issues (not major issues in my opinion, but just in the interests of full disclosure):
(1) There is some minor wear/curb rash on some of the wheels, and a couple of barely noticeable
scratches/marks/surface damage on front and rear bumpers and passenger side door/body panel. See close-up photos.
Note there is road grime visible in those close-ups, but that will wash off; sorry, there was rain earlier on the
day I took those close-ups and I couldn't see the grime until I enlarged the high-res photos on my computer. Happy
to send more photos, but you can see in the other shots from a different day what the body looks like without that
grime.
(2) The Pioneer sat-nav unit currently does not function (buttons no longer work). The navigation function itself
has not worked since I bought the car in 2013 but until recently I was able to use it as a master unit to control
the built-in stereo, CD changer and aux line-in audio. If the Pioneer unit is disconnected, those other audio
units will still work independently (can be controlled through the built-in stereo); or, a new sat-nav unit can be
installed instead.
It'd be a relatively minor job to unplug or replace the sat-nav and clean up/repair the wheels and/or body if
desired but I've left as is so the buyer can choose based on preference.
Car comes with original manuals, key fobs, service/maintenance records, spare tire and toolkit. Clean Carfax
available.
This car is in great shape and has been very reliable, no headaches, lots of fun to drive. Sad to let it go but
becoming incompatible with my lifestyle/living situation. With the work put into it, it should be ready for years
of hassle-free driving.

Are you the 2017 Porsche 911 GTS Targa?
Sun, Nov 30 2014Our spy shooters have caught a strange, mash-up beast wearing a Porsche badge. Superficially, this is a facelift for the 911 Targa that features new bumpers, door handles and a redesigned engine cover, along with new light graphics for the front and rear lights. But have a look around back, and you'll find two inboard exhaust pipes; they aren't right up against each other as on the 911 GT3, but are spaced about five inches apart. The shooters said the first time they saw that arrangement was last winter, on a convertible during testing. We saw it again more recently in spy shots of what was thought to be the 911 GTS coupe prototype at the track. But when the production GTS arrived, it wore the traditional quad-pipe at the corners. The theory put forward by the spy photog: the current GTS has a naturally aspirated engine, but facelifted prototypes they've been seeing all have turbo engines, so this could be the facelifted Targa coming in 2017, after the 991-model 911 gets a refresh. In that case, the GTS coupe prototype at the track would have also been a post-refresh, turbo-engined GTS. It's only a hypothesis, but more than one outlet has reported that Porsche is going all-turbo for the updated 2015 models – the new exhaust position and those 911-Turbo-like vents could be their identifiers. We expect to find out when the lineup is unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, possibly codenamed 992 instead of 991.2.
Porsche digitally dissects its 918 Spyder for your viewing pleasure
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At this point, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - except what it's like to drive - but Porsche has released a new video giving us a more in-depth look at its new plug-in hypercar all the same. The animated video gives us numerous cutaway looks at the 918 Spyder while giving a visual demonstration of the car's four hybrid driving modes.
Though nowhere near as exciting as watching the 918 blast around the Nürburgring in record time, this new video is nonetheless both interesting and informative. Scroll down to watch the video yourself, and be sure to check out our live gallery of the production version of the car along with a stock gallery.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
