Brief History:
The Baby is not Bored! The 996 Turbo went on sale in the US in summer of 2000 as a 2001 model. The Turbo is powered by a water-cooled twin-turbocharged and intercooled 3.6-litre flat-6 engine. This Porsche started it's life in NY Long Island and was then transferred to NJ, Florida, back to NY, to Arizona, then ultimately over to the Bay Area when I shipped her over in February 2023.
This car has been well maintained and documented since day one. The body is super clean for a 24 year old car with nearly 100k miles, in 2023, the front and rear bumpers were resprayed and PPF'd by Ceramic Pro Bay Area. From 2020-2024 the previous owner and myself have updated the aging systems installing a new water pump, belt, thermostat, coolant tube O rings, fuel filter, transmission mounts, coolant flush and fluid, conductor plate for the Tiptronic, engine mounts, new tires, coil packs, spark plugs, alignment, and regular oil changes. Since taking ownership, I've tastefully installed a Sony Apple Carplay head unit to replace the previous aftermarket head unit, DCTMS paddle shifter steering wheel, and Speedtech 2.5" X-Pipe.
This car is my ultimate weekend warrior, living it's life street parked in the California sun. This is not a garage queen at all! In October 2023, we gave birth to our first child, and I immediately updated the plates to 996TTBB. If you see us cruising around the Bay Area, be sure to give us a wave!
