Overview
This 2003 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe displays impressive condition and originality with an odometer reading of 8k miles from new, and documented ownership in Western states since 2003.

.
Outside, forward-facing areas are well protected by clear bra. The wheels, upholstery, glass, and trim are unmarked while both the engine bay and under side are detailed ‘to eat off of’ per the seller, and completely unmodified. The sale includes the factory owner's manual pack, jack, and tool roll, a model-specific indoor car cover with Porsche crest, copies of previous service documentation, a Certificate of Authenticity, and clean Carfax report. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an ultra-low mileage, museum quality Porsche 996 Turbo. Offering amazing performance, legendary engineering, iconic design, and uncompromising build quality, this Porsche is ready for the next fortunate owner to experience the power, prestige, excitement of a beautifully packaged Turbo.
.
Porsche’s 996-generation 911 is remembered as a transformative product, saving the brand from near extinction. Following the 1998 introduction of the first water-cooled Carrera, a new 996 Turbo arrived for model year 2000—utilizing an all-wheel-drive and a twin-turbocharged 3.6L Mezger engine derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning 911 GT1 race car. VarioCam Plus updates and a remarkable 414hp output delivered 0-60 times of 4.2 seconds alongside handling prowess enhanced by stability management. All around, refined Pinky Lai body design retained the car’s visually important brand signature, bringing the Turbo’s distinctive greenhouse and wide stance into the 21st century. Considered critically important to the history of the 911 lineage, manual transmission examples represent a high point of collectability for enthusiasts seeking pure, low mile, and properly maintained examples of significant performance cars.

- Seller's Disclosure
The first owner would not keep his new 996 Turbo for very long, rehoming it via Foreign Cars Italia of Charlottesville, North Carolina with just 744 miles logged in July of 2003 to its next caretaker, a Colorado resident. The Turbo would stay in Colorado for nearly 15 years, accumulating most of its miles there, clearly on fair weather driving days only. At 2,265 miles it had its first of several fluid and filter changes, the second of which was not until October of 2007. By August of 2017, with just 6,150 miles indicated, a comprehensive "30k mile" service was performed, to include all factory recommended fluids and filter changes, new spark plugs, and a fresh set of Michelin tires.
.
Not long after, the Porsche would find itself in Southern California for a short stay, before its next custodian in Utah would purchase it in September of 2021, with approximately 7,000 logged since new. In December of 2022 a fluid and filter service was performed with 7,780 miles indicated, and now with its current custodian in Northern California, just 250 miles have been added. On average, this as-new Mezger-engined Porsche has covered just 350 miles a year, while benefiting from regular maintenance.
