Bidding on Cars and Bids has reached $69,996 with six days left. The seller says he had a pre-purchase inspection done when he bought the car.2003 Porsche 911 TurboCars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowMarket data from Classic.com tracks the 2003 Turbo coupe manual as its own market, with the wider 996.2 range averaging $81,703. Manual Turbos command a premium over Tiptronic cars, and low-mileage unmodified examples sit above that average.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis one is neither unmodified nor fully documented, which separates it from the top of the market. Fair value lands at $72,000 to $88,000, with $78,000 the most likely close, just above the current bid.2003 Porsche 911 TurboCars & BidsCondition and detailsThe diagnostic report is the crux. On a Mezger engine, over-rev data across all six ranges is the most informative document a buyer can see, and a bidder asked for the complete report and the mileage it was run at. The seller answered that a Porsche specialist scanned the car on September 10 at 33,597 miles and it registered only ranges one and two, the encouraging answer, though the full report has not been posted.2003 Porsche 911 TurboCars & BidsThe exhaust question is the other open item. A commenter noticed the tips sit at uneven heights and asked whether that reflects a poorly designed system, worn hangers, or a past impact. The seller replied that the exhaust was on the car when he bought it six years ago and that he never noticed, leaving the cause unresolved.2003 Porsche 911 TurboCars & BidsSeveral items are disclosed and need pricing. The frunk hood shocks do not work, the rear spoiler rams function intermittently, and the key fob lock and unlock is inoperable. The seller cannot locate the original stereo or other factory parts, which matters given a commenter's estimate that returning it to stock appearance would add substantially to its value.2003 Porsche 911 TurboCars & BidsAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakePorscheModel911 TurboYear2003Mileage33,700 milesEngineMezger 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-sixPower415 horsepower and 415 lb-ft at the factory ratingTransmissionSix-speed manualDrive typeAll-wheel driveExterior colorArctic Silver MetallicInterior colorGrayCurrent bid$69,996Interested in this 996 Turbo? View the listing here.What makes the 996 Turbo uniqueEvery criticism aimed at the 996 stops at the Turbo, because its engine is a different thing entirely. The Mezger flat-six traces to the GT1 race program rather than the M96 that gave the Carrera its reputation for intermediate shaft failures, and it arrived twin-turbocharged at 415 horsepower with all-wheel drive.2003 Porsche 911 TurboCars & BidsThat distinction has driven the market for years. Carrera values sank while Turbo values held, and manual coupes became the entry point for buyers wanting a fast, durable 911 without paying 997 money. A commenter summed the appeal up in three words: respect the Mezger.My takeFair value sits at $72,000 to $88,000, with $78,000 the most likely result, and the crux is a diagnostic report that stops halfway. What the seller shared is good news, since ranges one and two are where normal use registers, and the rest should confirm it. Against that sit an unexplained exhaust alignment, four inoperative items, and bodywork a knowledgeable commenter reckons costs this car real money against a stock example. Get the full report and $78,000 is fair.AdvertisementAdvertisementDisclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
