2000 Porsche 911 consumer reviews

I flew to San Jose, California 3/1/22 and bought a used 2000 Cabriolet, one owner, 54k miles. I drove down Pacific Coast Hwy over 2 days. To LA area and tooled around for a week. Had it inspected by a Porsche restorer who gave it 👍🏻👍🏻. Drove to Las Vegas through Death Valley with top down. After a couple of days drove to Phoenix. Spent several days running on desert roads. Then spent 6 days driving back to SC. Went through “Tail of Dragon” 5 times. I named the car the “Beast”. I love it and I’m a car guy but never had a car like this. Drove it 4500 miles in 18 days. Would recommend highly.

I like pretty much everything about the car with a few exceptions. No glove box, so interior storage is limited. no cup holders not only for drinks,but change etc . The caps that cover the holes where the hard top fastens at the rear fasten poorly and are not cheap to replace. The plastic rear window will be updated soon, as will the ignition switch. The car runs well, comfortable, and seeing that the clutch, IMS bearing, and rear seal has been all updated, I'm confidant of the engine. Great car for the money spent, people can't believe it's nearly 20 yrs. old. I hope to have it for a long time. Special thanks to Marc and Ed for making a long distance purchase go seamlessly and being so trustworthy.

A friend was commuting in LA traffic, finally decided he really needed a commuting car. So he agreed to sell it to me. i'm retired but volunteer in places and cross town regularly to co-sign checks at a non-profit. The Porsche was my "daily driver" for the last seven years without incident. The car is docile when driven gently but the 6 cylinder engine can really open up when called on. It's got Porsche handling. i showed it to an acquaintance who wasn't very familiar with Porsches and he couldn't get over the solid "thunk" when you close the door. Porsche brought out its first water-cooled engine in 1999 with this model - the "996" 911. Mine was manufactured late the following year. Worth round about $20,000 now - with about 51,000 miles on it - it's a truly classic car for a fraction of the new price. i've loved owning it.

I love this car. It's a classic 911 only the Cabriolet, Porsche's term for convertible and I thought I'd never own a convertible but when you pull out on the interstate going through the gears with the top down, it's just PORSCHE... Take a turn here or there with no one around and you realized you have allot of true race car in your car. Today you can get a deal on one, just watch for little things, parts can be pricey but you pay for the ride and few could pass you.

The 911 is the ultimate sports car. It has that type of ride but it will almost pin you to the seat in any gear or speed. The manual shows it topping out at 178. I took It to Midtown Motorwerks and they went through it and everything has been taken care of, all fluids flushed. Too much to list. If you want a 911 you truly won't need to do anything for a while, this is it. Great car I just got another one.

Like any Porsche maintenance can be pricey so the more you can do yourself, ie: oil changes, the more you'll get to know your car and love it more. If thinking of buying one, a new FOB key you have to get from dealer is around $500, new top is $2,000. Get one with those things taken care of. It handles incredibly and with 300 hp. and the Manuel talks of 178 mph., only had mine to 120 but it was only turning 4,000 rpm's, redline is 7,200. Records are great but some owners will do some work themselves. Right now you can get a black or silver one unbelievable cheap but watch out for little things it may need, everything is not cheap to fix, but your driving a Porsche and the driving experience. Highly recommend the '97-2009...

Mine is a blast to drive. It's a Cabriolet and with 300hp., pulling onto the interstate with the top down, she really shows herself. These early water cooled are built like bricks, you do have to make sure the IMS Bearing problem has been taken care of. It's a great car but it's the consume" Sports Car. Which means it has performance suspension, you feel the road but it handles like crazy. Some things can be pricey, but as a Dr. friend of mine who owns one said, you pay for the driving experience. It's just a fun great car to drive.

You pay for the driving experience, repairs and maintenance can be pricey why the best one's to get are driven by enthusiasts not daily drivers, things wear out. This car is much faster than given credit for. I never thought I'd own a convertible, Cabriolet, but hearing the exhaust while going through the gears is part of the experience. Great car and the good one's are not cheap but well worth it.

But it is my 3rd ccar and we have no garage, so it should go to someone who will really appreciate and enjoy it. The car is SUPER reliable. It has nearly everything new, replaced or custom. Low mileage. It's a fabulous ride!

Meets and exceeds my expectations. My 3rd and already looking at my next, probably a 2010 Red with camel interior
