The 996 version of Porsche’s 911 rear-engine sports car introduced water-cooled performance. This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet with a manual transmission is an inexpensive 911 for sunbathing. Bring a Trailer’s no-reserve sale ends July 31. Porsche 911s are timeless. A high-rpm, stick-shift canyon carver, or a sumptuous grand cruiser, the 911 has something for everyone. Older sports vehicles may be better than new ones, even if they’re not cheaper. You don’t have to spend $60,000 on a Porsche 911. Bring a Trailer; a Hearst Autos magazine like Automobile and Driver named a 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet the most significant automobile today. First, expect fried egg and middle shaft (IMS) jokes. Is your machine disconnected? Good. The 996 911 replaced the air-cooled flat-six engine with a water-cooled engine. The M96 engine’s IMS bearings are notorious. Porsche had to trim expenses significantly to make the 996. Its parts are similar to the contemporary Boxster because of this. Then what? Speed Yellow 1999 996 Carrera cabriolets are 911s. The six-speed manual transmission drives the rear-mounted 3.4-liter flat-six engine. In terms of power and torque, it is superior to the air-cooled Carrera. Its standard model produces 296 horsepower and 258 pound-feet. The soft top doesn’t affect performance. In our tests, the 1999 Carrera cabriolet took 4.9 seconds to reach 60 mph and 13.5 seconds to go a quarter mile. Seventy mph automobiles halted at 170 feet. They have four-wheel cross-drilled disc brakes like the auctioned soft-top automobile. The convertible had lower skidpad values than the coupe. We noted that “its behaviour in corners is almost the same as that of the coupe.” Its Michelin Pilot Sport tires and 18-inch wheels demonstrate that. Taking off the top makes the engine’s stainless steel exhaust pipes louder. If you’re weary with its music, use the car’s Pioneer head unit, bespoke speakers, and Rockford Fosgate amplifier to play your own. The standard stereo and CD changer are included for vinyl and CD fans. Buyers may want to know more about the IMS bearing. Good news: the prior owner installed an LN Engineering kit. The previous owner replaced the top cylinders and actuators. The spoiler hydraulics, expansion plug crack, and engine casings have been repainted and polished to accept JE pistons. The 1999 911 Carrera cabriolet’s sale page states that the seller has driven 100 of its 72,895 miles. The top bidder should offer a lot. The sale ends on July 31.
