The Deets

High Bid: $32,000 (Reserve Not Met)

Launched in the fall of 2011 as the replacement for the sixth-generation 997, the Porsche 991-based 911 featured an entirely new platform with only the third clean-sheet design since the original car launched in 1963.  Porsche produced the 997 generation 911 for the 2012 through 2019 model years.

Compared to the model it replaced, the 991-generation 911 is slightly larger, with the wheelbase increased by nearly four inches while the overall length grew by nearly three inches. Porsche engineers developed a new transaxle for the 991 so that the rear wheels could be moved three inches rearward.  This minor change significantly improved the weight distribution and cornering performance over the prior generation.  Through increased use of high-strength steel, aluminum, and modern composites, the weight gain of the 997-generation was up only slightly despite its increase in overall size.

The 997 generation featured the launch of Porsche’s innovative Dollelkupplung (better known simply as “PDK”) seven-speed transmission featuring seven speeds.  Gears one through six have a sports ratio, and top speed is reached in sixth gear. The seventh gear has a long ratio and helps to reduce fuel consumption by keeping engine revs low. The PDK is essentially two gearboxes merged into a single unit and thus requires two clutches. For all 991 models, the PDK is produced by ZF Friedrichshafen.

The second owner of this 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet purchased the car as a 25K-mile Certified Pre-Owned example as their daily driver in October 2016.  In their seven years of ownership, the seller had their 911 serviced exclusively at Paul Miller Porsche, even relying on the dealership to provide new tires when needed.  Not only does this 911 benefit from proper maintenance since new, the sale includes a transferable warranty that expires in May 2023. It’s not often you can find a dealer-maintained Porsche that still provides a safety net of warranty to help you bid confidently. An avid Porsche 911 fan, the private seller recently purchased a 992 version in the same color combination. Not in need of two similar-looking 911 Cabriolets, the seller decided to offer the older two cars.

Also included as part of the sale is a second set of rims with summer tires mounted. We are in the process of obtaining a picture of those.  The photographs of the car in this auction feature it with the Winter set installed.

Rudy confirmed during his photography session and inspection that everything on this 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera 34 Cabriolet works as designed. During his inspection, the only noticeable worn items of note are the shifter handle (which can be redyed if desired) and the convertible top, while still fully serviceable and water-tight, still shows wear consistent with use and age.  The front bumper does have some minor stone chips noticeable up close that are consistent with the mileage.
