Up for auction is this 2002 Porsche 996 Carrera 4 Cabriolet finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a black interior with supple leather seats. At an original sticker price of over $93k, this 6-speed Carrera 4 came equipped with factory Exclusive options including GT3-style flared rocker panels, a painted rear center console, and a shifter/brake handle in leather and aluminum. It has also been modified with a TechArt aero kit, yellow-painted brake calipers, a cat-bypass, an upgraded air intake, and 18” Porsche SportDesign wheels. Having undergone considerable amounts of preventative maintenance within the last year including a new clutch, rear main seal, and IMS bearing upgrade, this 996 is now being offered for auction with approximately 77k-miles showing on the odometer by its seller out of Pennsylvania.
This 996 is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and the seller notes that the rear bumper has been recently refinished for cosmetic purposes. Several small dings and light scratches are noted throughout the exterior and the Cabriolet top exhibits minor signs of wear, detailed images are provided in the photo gallery along with a clean CARFAX report. Complementing the factory Exclusive GT3-style flared rocker panels is a TechArt aero kit consisting of a redesigned front fascia and fixed Turbo-style rear spoiler. Custom yellow-painted brake calipers can also be seen behind the upgraded 18” Porsche SportDesign wheels which are currently dressed in Bridgestone Potenza S-02A tires.
Inside, this 996 is appointed with a black interior featuring supple leather front and rear seats. Exclusive factory details include a painted rear center console and a shifter/brake handle in leather and aluminum.

Good luck guys that top doesn’t look right to me. There was a particular reason why the operation was not shown since the first time. Anyway yes I know cabrios where a little more pricey when new but there are a ton of issues with them. Remember this are old cars.

Any chance for the top operation video? I have two friends from the Porsche club, one spent $4,400 to get the top to work. The other one spend $2300 and the top doesn’t work correctly, now they are saying it’s the module and he is trying to find a hard top in the correct color. Sorry but if I don’t see this I’ll May not bid or put the correct amount of money on your car. Thanks.

@URS6 the car was purchased with the exhaust already installed.
@RI9971 an easy fix for someone in the know.
Will it pass state emissions tests with the cat bypass? Do you have the cats?
That damaged front fender is killing me.
@Craignyc more then likely its the shading.
Not sure if it is the lighting, but the bumpers look to be a different shade than the rest of the car, is that the case in person as well?
