The vehicle underwent a visual inspection, received a fresh MOT, lubrication service, and brake fluid change at the end of 2023. Recent work includes new fan belt, all pulleys and brake pipes. Recently out of MOT but has done little mileage since and has been well cared for.

The car is in excellent condition throughout, with a modest mileage on the clock. With over £9, 000 of receipts from the previous owner in his five years of ownership, this 996 has had all common issues and failures addressed, including an IMS bearing upgrade for peace of mind.

Other mechanical refreshments include a new IMS seal, RMS seal, clutch kit, flywheel, suspension arms, top mounts and bearings, exhaust silencers, and more. It also features high-quality Bilstein fully adjustable coil over suspension for improved handling and road characteristics. This was carried out by McMillan Specialist Cars (NI) less than 20k miles ago and I have all paperwork present.

The vehicle has undergone a £2000 comprehensive detail by Studio Ten (ex Porsche specialist technician/ Previous Owner) to ensure the vehicle is in immaculate condition throughout and has premium ceramic coatings applied to the paintwork, alloy wheels, brake calipers, exhaust tips, glass and non painted trims to ensure the quality finish presented lasts for years to come.

The car has been dry stored by myself and previous owners. Why You’ll Love the Porsche 996:

If you’ve ever driven an SC, 911, 964, 993, or 997, you’ll quickly appreciate why the 996 stands out. It’s faster, lighter, and better handling than its older siblings, yet still more engaging than the 997, 991, or 992. Forget the techno wizardry of newer models – the 996 offers a pure driving experience, exactly as it should be.

The 996 has undergone more scrutiny and analysis than any other 911 model, and because of this, we know exactly what to expect in terms of issues – and, more importantly, we already have preventative solutions available. With one of the largest aftermarket parts industries in the Porsche world, the 996 has every fix and upgrade covered, and even more options are on the way.

From a design perspective, the 996 has aged incredibly well. Its classic 911 lines have stood the test of time, and with the right enhancements, you can make it look more muscular or sleeker, all at a fraction of the cost compared to earlier and later models.

Best of all, the 996 is still relatively affordable. Its purchase price, service costs, and parts are currently at a sweet spot, but don’t expect that to last forever – now is the time to get in on this fantastic model.

Get it while you can. You won’t regret it.
