Used 2001 Porsche 911 for Sale near Los Angeles, CA

Confidence-inspiring, communicative, awesome performance and balance. Faultless!

Ive had my 996 for 15 years. Great car, reliable, really fun to drive in good weather. 0-60 in 4.7 and great through the curves. Love it still.

You will read lots about this model of the 911 (called the 996) and see that it has a IMS bearing that fails and destroys the engine. And that is possible. About 5% 1999-2004 have failed. If you shop for a car that has maintenance records and you have the oil changed and check the filter for metal bits you should be ok. I chose this car carefully, then I took the car in and had the IMS bearing replaced with an aftermarket one with a warranty. This will cost an additional $3k, but it is worth it as a new engine will cost $10k+. The 911 model before the 996 is the 993, and one will run you 45 to 80k. The 911 model after the 996 is the 997 and one of those will run you 35 to 50k. That makes this model a bargain, and a very fun car to own.

the 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera is very fun to drive attention getter, also the convertible is the best on a summer day. Since I owned my first Porsche being the 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera has been the best car I have ever owned not only the handling of car and smooth ride, the best thing I love of my Porsche is that its very fast and holds its title. The car has not given me no problem's. the only thing I have to say if you can afford to buy a Porsche buy one you will love it just one thing maintenance like oil changes can be high priced. Or service for Porsche. Other then that just fun lots of fun .

Best car ever guys... anyone who has driven this thing knows it's a flipping monster.This care does everything you want and more. Expect maintenance to be costly, but if you can get this car.... GET THIS CAR!. Fast as hell, handles like crazy, and the all wheel drive is phenominal.
