This is my 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe with 61,200 miles which was purchased new by Cleveland Indians Major League Baseball All-Star pitcher Charles Nagy.
This is one of the best-condition 996-model 911s you will find for sale anywhere- this is superb-condition vehicle.
I admit, I'm a Porsche lover. I've had nearly every model of Porsche made in the last 30 years, and I love Porsches of all kinds. To me they are the perfect balance of reliability, performance, comfort and uniqueness.
Of course, the ultimate Porsche is and always has been the 911. I particularly love this 996 version because of its styling, available options and superb driving experience. There is no other car that combines this level of performance with everyday drivability and total reliability.
I chose this particular 911 very specifically. I wanted a 2WD hardtop with a 6-speed and the upgraded interior. I don't care for the 4WD system because it numbs the steering and slows the car down off the line. Convertibles are a huge compromise and I didn't want that either. The only transmission I even considered was this 6-speed manual. And finally, the base 911 interior is cheap and chintzy, so I wanted the upgraded full-leather-and-wood interior. I also wanted a color that you don't see every day, and this Ocean Blue Metallic is a rare and beautiful color.
This 911 is one of the most well-balanced, comfortable and capable cars I've ever driven. This is truly an enthusiast's gem.
This car has a superb, yet not overloaded list of options in addition to the huge list of standard equipment-
- 296HP Engine
- 6-speed Manual Transmission
- Ocean Blue Metallic Paint
- All Leather Seats and Interior Package (Savanna Beige)
- Light Real Wood Package
- Light Maplewood Steering Wheel
- Heated Front Seats
- 18" Turbo Cast Wheels
- Wheel Caps with Colored Crest
- HiFi Sound Package w/Speakers
- AM/FM Radio with CD Player
In all the car has $6922 in options, for a total as-delivered price of $78,222.
This is just an outstanding car. I cannot describe the exhilaration you feel hearing that hyper-mechanical flat-6 engine behind you as you accelerate through a turn. This car has amazing balance and handling- the limits are so high that I cannot push this car even close to its capability. While this is a sports car, it is also a comfortable luxury car. The leather and wood interior is gorgeous, and the car has every feature you could want, and none that you don't. This particular 911 is one of the best examples you will ever find of a pure driving and luxury experience in a Porsche.
This car has never been in any accidents, and it has all-original paint. The paint and body are in excellent condition. The Carfax report is clean and clear and I have the clear OH title in hand and ready to transfer. The car has been immaculately cared-for since new, and it has always been garaged. I have the original window sticker, plus all the original books and manuals, plus the service booklet which has been stamped by the servicing dealer. I also have three keys with the car. This car was sold new at Stoddard Porsche, one mile from my house in Willoughby, OH.
The interior in full-leather and real Maplewood is beautiful and in excellent condition. The leather, carpets and upholstery are clean and in very good condition for the age. Unlike many 911 interiors, this one has been cared for and doesn't have broken/worn plastics and switchgear- it is clean, pristine and looks excellent.
This car starts, runs and drives beautifully. The engine is smooth and powerful, the transmission shifts perfectly, the clutch is strong and the steering is tight and precise. The suspension is tight yet compliant, the brakes stop well and there are no warning lights illuminated. This car drives like a dream and there are no known mechanical issues. The acceleration is strong, the braking and handling are superb, and the car handles and drives as well as any car you can buy. This is a totally solid, reliable and dependable car with no known issues.
Everything works- the A/C is cold, all the power options and equipment are working, the sunroof and windows work properly, the rear spoiler works, there are no warning lights on, etc. This is a no-worries car.
The tires have good tread remaining, the radio buttons aren't worn down, there are no oil leaks, nor any known RMS/IMS issues. The car is straight and clean down the sides with no paintwork ever.
This is a totally reliable, no-worries 911 that you can drive and enjoy right now.
The next oil change is not due until 64,155 miles.
This is a 1999 car, not a 2014. It isn't brand new, but it is exceptionally nice. A couple of tiny issues to note: there are a few minor stone nicks on the nose, and a few tiny paint scratches here and there. There are a couple minor scratches on the wheels, and some of the genuine wood trim in the interior is cracked a bit. All of this is far less than average wear and tear. This is a superbly clean, totally reliable car that I'd trust to drive to California and back.
This is a no reserve listing, but I have a number in my head that would buy the car now. Call me to discuss.
This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.
You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. You may also choose to have the car shipped- I highly recommend Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.

Porsche says turbo'd 911 engines will still be revvy
Wed, Apr 15 2015Porsche fans really, really don't like change. Remember when the 911 moved away from air-cooled engines? Now, as the company prepares to move the vast majority of the 911 line away from naturally aspirated powerplants, one of the brand's highest ranking officials is speaking out to prevent a similar outcry. Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, the head of powertrain development for the Volkswagen Group and a board member of the VW brand, told Car that turbocharging won't take away from the rev-happy nature of Porsche's current engines. "Turbocharging is possible with higher revs – it's not true to say that turbocharged engines must stop at 6000rpm," Neusser told Car at the 2015 New York Auto Show. "That's not true... If you look at McLaren, they already have in production turbo engines with high revs." With turbocharged engines, Nuesser explains, there's no need to go for a super high redline, because engineers are trying to spread the torque over the entire rev range. "It makes no sense to go to 10,000 rpm with a turbocharged engine," Neusser told Car. The other big concern that comes with the switch to turbocharging focuses on the 911's iconic flat-six exhaust note. Maintaining the car's well-known acoustic character shouldn't be an issue, Neusser said. "Noise is not a problem," adding that the Volkswagen Group knows a thing or two about building sweet-sounding turbos. "Look at the 911 Turbo; it has an extremely expressive noise today – that is not a problem. At the other end of the scale, the Golf R has it too," Neusser told Car. "You won't miss character with turbos, I promise." According to Car, the new turbocharged engines will arrive later this year at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, as part of the current 911's facelift.

Porsche celebrates 5M Facebook fans with crowdsourced one-off 911
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Porsche's Facebook fan base appears to be accelerating as quickly as the cars it builds. The German automaker has just unveiled a special 911 Carrera 4S designed with crowdsourced input as a way to thank its five million Facebook fans.
The 911 features special Aquablaumetallic paint from Porsche Exclusive, contrasting 20-inch white Carrera S wheels and pinstriping, along with an aero package including a fixed rear wing. Inside, there are unique backlit sill plates and the obligatory dashboard engraving that says "Personally Built by 5 Million Porsche Fans."
As a way to turn at least one virtual thumbs up into its more meaningful physical-world equivalent, Porsche is holding a contest to win the chance to drive the car at Britain's Silverstone racetrack - and bring a friend - and nine lucky runners-up will win 1:43-scale models of the 911.

Investigators blame speed in fatal Paul Walker crash
Wed, 26 Mar 2014When the tragic news first came in that actor Paul Walker had been killed in a car crash, family, friends and fans were left searching for answers. They now have at least one key question answered, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department blaming "unsafe speed" for the fatal accident.
According to a statement released by the LACSD, "Investigators determined the cause of the fatal solo-vehicle collision was unsafe speed for the roadway conditions". The investigation into the November, 2013 crash determined that Walker's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT had been driven by his business partner and racer, Roger Rodas, at speeds between 80 and 93 miles per hour - less than the 100+ mph initially suspected, but still far too fast for the road on which they were traveling, which carried a posted limit of 45 mph.
In the investigation into the death of the Fast & Furious star and his friend, some people were quick to finger the Porsche in which they were riding as the culprit. The Carrera GT does, after all, have the reputation of being a notoriously difficult car to control. But after an exhaustive investigation, law enforcement officials in California have vindicated the car and dismissed any mechanical fault as the cause of the accident.
