BaT Auction: 33k-Mile 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 cabriolet is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over black leather and is powered by a 3.4-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed automatic transaxle and all-wheel drive. Equipment includes 18″ Turbo-look wheels, a deployable rear spoiler, integrated fog lights, a Becker CD stereo, automatic climate control, and cruise control. The car was first registered in Florida, and it relocated in 2002 to Pennsylvania, where the selling dealer acquired it. The black soft top was reportedly replaced under previous ownership, and the front bumper cover was reportedly refinished in preparation for the sale. This 996.1 cabriolet has 33k miles and is now offered by the selling dealer with manufacturer’s literature and a clean Pennsylvania title.

The exterior is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and features a black convertible soft top that is said to have been replaced in 2020. Additional features include fog lights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets with polished finishers. The front bumper cover was reportedly refinished in preparation for the sale to repair scratches.

The 18″ Turbo-look wheels wear colored Porsche crests and 225/40 front and 265/35 rear Continental ExtremeContact tires, and the rear tires are said to have been replaced 900 miles ago. The car is equipped with Porsche Stability Management, and braking is handled by four-piston Porsche-branded brake calipers fitted over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.

The cabin features a dashboard, seats, and door panels upholstered in black leather. Amenities include power-adjustable front seats with driver-seat memory settings, automatic climate control, cruise control, a Becker Porsche CD stereo with a six-disc CD changer, and power windows and locks.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel features gear change buttons and fronts a 180-mph speedometer, a central tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 33k miles.

The 3.4-liter M96 flat-six was factory rated at 296 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Recent service included an oil change and replacement of the battery.

Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transaxle.
