2003 Porsche 911 996 Targa 3.6L New IMS & RMS For Sale

After only a few months ownership I am unfortunately having to put up for sale my 2003 911 Targa.

I really wanted a Targa above a standard coupe as the practicality of the rear hatch is great. All of the additional light available
inside is superb regardless of whether the roof is open or closed. Reminds me of my old glass roof CRX in the early 90's.

This was advertised as probably the best 996 Targa in the UK and after viewing two others prior to this it was an easy decision to buy.
I bought this from an avid Porsche fan who had owned a few 911's over the years.
He owned this car for 9 years and was only selling it due to a progressively worsening disability having done only a few thousand miles in the past few years.

It had been garaged when not in use and is in exceptionally good condition inside and out with a full service history and all the stamps.

The previous owner used Sport And Classic Porsche Specialists in Cheshire who kept the car superbly well maintained.
The last three receipts from there alone total over £5k.

New Clutch, Rear Main Seal (RMS), IMS Bearing and Rear main crankshaft oil seal have all been replaced within in the last 3k miles.

Other notable parts recently replaced in this period are:-

New pollen filter
New Air filter
New Spark Plugs
New Sump plug seal
New Coil Packs
New Oil pressure switch
New Front brake Discs and Pads
New Brake pad wear sensors
New Dansk Exhaust back boxes
New Alternator and drive belt
Air-con re-gassed
Brake Fluid replaced

Oil and Filter replaced annually
Cylinder bores checked for wear by Sport and Classic with no issues found.

The Targa roof has been fully Dry lubricated and works perfectly every time.
18" Wheels in good condition (just a few marks here and there with minor kerbing on one)
All four tyres are in excellent condition with plenty of tread. Pirelli Rosso on the front and Bridgestones on the rear.
Active spoiler assembly has been stripped down, re-greased and is nice and smooth in operation.
Aftermarket Pioneer Double Din Stereo fitted with Reversing Camera
Factory fitted Optical Bose Sound System
All lighting uprated to White leds where possible.
Airbox resonator bypass fitted for increased throttle response and a more pronounced Induction sound.

As the previous owner strictly advised, always driven below 3k rpm until the car is fully up to temperature.
Run on Shell V99 High Octane fuel.

Had I been keeping the car I was looking into replacing the headlight lamps with Hid's as the factory halogen lights are pretty poor in all honesty.
Possibly I would have had the wheels refurbished at some point also.
Other than that the car is in absolute top class condition and a testament to the previous owner.

I own another classic car that has been advertised for a few months now with surprisingly little interest.
I've thought long and hard and I do not really want the two cars long term so with great regret I will have to
sell one or the other which is the reason for this reluctant sale. If my other cars sells first, I'll be keeping the 911 for sure.

Mot expires 8th August 2020
Mileage currently 64, 650
Genuine car and genuine reason for selling. Any inspection welcome.
