Brand & model history:The Porsche 996, which was produced between 1997 and 2006, was the first model in the 911 series with a water-cooled engine. This marked a technical revolution for the brand and made the 996 a controversial model in Porsche history right from its market launch. Despite this initial scepticism, the 996 is now increasingly recognised as a modern classic. With its relatively affordable entry-level price and classic 911 DNA, it attracts collectors and enthusiasts alike.
**Condition: **
This exceptionally well-preserved Porsche 911 (996), delivered in Berlin on 7 June 1998, boasts a rare and elegant colour combination of Palladium Metallic exterior and a Cognac full leather interior. The vehicle is in excellent condition, both visually and technically.
The full leather interior is immaculate, with no scuffed areas or signs of wear, which is particularly noteworthy compared to partial leather interiors, which often show signs of wear. Even the vehicle's light-coloured carpets have the appearance of a year-old car, which is an indication of the owner's meticulous care.
Externally, the paintwork gleams and is in excellent condition. The boot lid and the left-hand side panel have been cosmetically repainted and show a paint thickness of 190 to 250 micrometres, which indicates a purely visual touch-up. The rest of the body corresponds to the factory paintwork with a thickness of 98 to 130 micrometres. There is a small blemish on the rear bumper, where an approximately 5 cm long scratch is visible - caused by an uncooperative flower pot in the front garden.
Viewed from below, this Porsche is in technically impeccable condition. The wishbones, coupling rods and track rods on the front axle were recently replaced. The brake discs and pads have a remaining thickness of around 80%, and the tyres, which were renewed at the beginning of 2022, have a tread depth of around 85%.
One highlight is that the engine was completely renewed around 60,000 km ago as part of a Porsche recall, which is documented by corresponding receipts. The engine runs silky smooth and shows no signs of leakage. The Tiptronic automatic transmission also shifts perfectly and without any jerking.
When driving, this Porsche conveys a solid and sporty, firm driving experience, without any disturbing noises or rattling from the chassis. The suspension components are in excellent condition, which makes for a pleasantly sporty driving experience.
The maintenance booklet is stamped with almost no gaps and the last MOT, which was carried out in May 2024, was passed without any defects.
**Market classification: **
Demand for the Porsche 996 has risen steadily in recent years. Among the main reasons are the rising prices of older air-cooled models (993 and older), which put the 996 in the spotlight as an affordable alternative. The model offers an attractive blend of classic 911 driving experience and modern technology. More recently, awareness of the 996's quality and performance has improved, resulting in a growing buyer base. The price of the Porsche 996 varies greatly depending on model, condition, mileage and history. However, particularly well-preserved models are becoming increasingly rare and are therefore in high demand.
**Summary: **
The Porsche 996 has developed from a controversial model into a sought-after modern classic. The powerful engine variants and the special colour variants in particular offer great potential for value appreciation. For enthusiasts and connoisseurs looking for a well-maintained and unique Porsche 911 (996) in a rare colour, this vehicle is an outstanding opportunity.
