About this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera

VIN: WP0AB0912JS121337

Details

This 1988 Porsche 911coupe has 98,659 miles and is powered by a 3.2L flat-six engine backed by a five-speed manual G50 transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. This 911s exterior is finished in red with black power leatherette seats. The car is also equipped with power windows, cruise control, air conditioning, and fog lamps. It has been modified with an aftermarket stereo and short shifter. This two-owner Porsche also comes with a clean CarFax and is well-documented with service records. It is currently located in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

Third-party photos were taken, and an inspection of the vehicle was performed for the sale of this well-maintained 911. The exterior does have minor scratches and wear that are consistent with the mileage of the car. The owner also notes that the paint is original, and some fading can be seen on the hood. The red exterior still shows well despite the age of the vehicle and has evidently been cared for. The inspection also notes that the body and window seals are in need of replacement. The interior is in nice condition, and the seats show only minor wear that would be expected of a vehicle with this mileage. The upholstery is still a vibrant black tone and is free of tears. Mechanically, the car is sound and operates as expected. The inspection also found signs of fluid seepage from the drivetrain that may need further inspection. In addition, the hoses and liner inside the engine compartment appear worn, and the A/C needs service. This well-cared-for two-owner 911 comes with detailed service records outlining recent service such as CV boots, and a brake caliper replacement. Included in the sale are a car cover, a tire inflator, an owners manual, and two sets of keys.

This Porsche 911 is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

About the model

The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe is a variant of the Carrera 3.2 that debuted in 1984. The Carrera 3.2 Coupe was built in the "narrow-body" hardtop body style, and was powered by a naturally aspirated 3.2L flat-six that sent drive to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. Initially, the Carrera 3.2 Coupe featured Porsche's 915 gearbox, but starting in 1987, these cars were fitted with Getrag's G50 manual gearbox, which was a marked upgrade from the 915. Production of the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe lasted until 1989, with a total of 35,670 examples built.
