2003 Porsche 911, 6-Speed Manual, 46,000 miles, Great Shape, Top Down Motoring at its Finest!

Only a select few automobiles are as clearly defined as the Porsche 911. The Porsche 911 says sports car by its look, and stellar reputation. While being classified in the rare strata of supercars, the 911 remains one of the easiest cars to live with on a day to day basis. Therein lies one its most appealing characteristics. It can be used as a comfortable grocery getter if needed, or as a remarkable performer on a race track or for most car enthusiasts on a winding road with a few long straights thrown in for pleasure. With its 3.6 liter engine producing a robust 320 H.P, the Carrera with a six speed manual transmission (as in our featured Car) can reach 60 mph in a blistering 4.8 seconds. Even more remarkable is the highway fuel economy of 26 miles per gallon while having all of this fun.

Our featured Carrera Cabriolet comes loaded with options. Some of the most significant are as follows:

                         Leather Interior
                         Power Front Seats with Memory
                         A/C with Auto Climate Control
                         Power Heated Side Mirrors
                     
                         Upgraded Sound System with Amp
                         Porsche Stability Mgt Control
                         Full Power Convertible Top
                         Remote Keyless Entry (with factory alarm)
                         Universal Garage Opener
                         Convertible Wind Blocker
                         Bi Xenon Headlamps
                        18 Inch Alloy Wheels

The Porsche 911 is well known as the benchmark high end sports car from which other brands are judged. Porsche has continually improved on the origional design. The current versions are reliable and fun to drive on a daily basis. The Porsche is one of the few exotic sports cars that can be at home on a grocery run, or carving up a winding canyon road. The dual purpose nature of these cars are part of their strong appeal. Our 2003 model has recieved signifiicant updates from the first version of this (model 996) design which was introduced in 1999. The new headlight design looks more like the Turbo lamps. The rear design has a widened rear end panel with oval exhaust tips. The convertable recieves a glass back window. A huge improvement over the plastic rear window. The engine size increases from 3.4 litres to 3.6 litres and the horsepower is up from 300hp to 320hp. Our featured Porsche's 6-speed manual transmission allows this Porsche to reach 60 mph in 4.8 seconds flat on up to its 178 mph top speed.

Our featured Carrera Cabriolet is in excellent condition mechanically and cosmetically. Its Polar Silver Metallic Paint is in as new condition, free from any dings or scratches. The smoke free leather interior is as new condition as well, free from any significant wear. The canvas convertible top (with heated glass rear window) is in good shape as well.  With only 46,600 miles (approx 5700 miles per year) our featured Carrera is in great shape mechanically.  Porsche is one of the few manufacturers which can provide top down motoring at this level. There is nothing more enjoyable than running this car through the gears with the top down and enjoying the sound of a Porsche engine at full song. The 911 remains the standard by which other sports cars are judged. With an MSRP of over $80,000.00 new, these fine automobiles (especially in cabriolet form and with this stunning color combination) remain a great value as a pre-owned vehicle. There is still no substitute for this remarkable sports car!
