Two-Owner 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet in Meridian Metallic with 6-Speed Manual
About this vehicle
A two-owner 2001 Porsche 996 Carrera Cabriolet that's spent the last 23 years with its current keeper — and it shows in how it's been cared for. Finished in Meridian Metallic over a Black full-leather interior and paired with a 6-speed manual, this particular example carries an unusually thorough factory options sheet, a completed IMS bearing service, and approximately 58,318 miles on the clock. It's offered in New York with a clean title.
Meridian Metallic was available only from 2001 through 2006, so it reads as a period-correct rarity rather than a compromise. Out back, the speed-activated rear spoiler operates as standard; up top, a black power-operated soft top handles open-air duties. Optional exterior equipment raises the visual grade considerably: flared side skirts, Litronic (xenon) headlights paired with headlamp washers, and 18" high-gloss 993 Turbo-look wheels — a period favorite — wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport rubber. The seller notes good remaining tread depth, though the tires carry 2016 date codes worth factoring in.
Inside, the Exclusive carbon package transforms what's already a well-trimmed cabin. Carbon fiber touches the three-spoke steering wheel, instrument surround, dashboard trim strip, center air-vent bracket, and door-entry guards with model logos. A leather-covered ignition lock surround rounds out the interior detailing. Seating is handled by heated 8-way power front seats — with driver memory and four-way lumbar support on both sides — and Porsche crest-embossed headrests. The seller flags less-than-normal wear on the driver's seat, which tracks for a car that's been owned long-term rather than flipped. Full decoded options list follows:

Per the NHTSA VIN decode, the drivetrain is factory-spec: a 3.4-liter 6-cylinder engine mated to the 6-speed manual. PSM — Porsche Stability Management — was optioned from the factory. On the mechanical side, a major service at 49,336 miles covered the IMS bearing, water pump, thermostat, serpentine belt, spark plugs, ignition coil, and battery. A June 2026 service then addressed the front and rear sway-bar links, all oxygen sensors, and the alternator. The convertible top itself was replaced in July 2018. The seller's assessment: very well maintained, needs nothing mechanically.
Sale includes a clean title, owner's manuals, toolkit, spare tire, car cover, battery charger, and wind deflector.
