1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe

The 964 brought with it numerous changes and innovations and marked the end of the classic 911. The Carrera 4 was first introduced, the body underwent its fist significant redesign in 15 years, and the general feel of the car took on a new level of refinement with such items as ABS, power steering, and climate control all available. There was one other technical innovation: Porsche introduced its Tiptronic transmission as an available option on the 911. While these days almost every manufacturer offers an automatic that allows some freedom to select the gears, back in 1991 this was a rare bird that would further serve to expand the Porsche audience. Though, we should note, Porsche themselves had begun offering a similar sort of system, the Sportomatic, way back in the late ’60s, well before anyone else seemed to even consider such a thing. These sorts of transmissions were the wave of the future and, love them or hate them, Porsche was at the forefront of this technology. Here we have a Tiptronic-equipped Cobalt Blue 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 with 39,970 miles.

Mechanics

A full history and careful ownership has kept this car in very good mechanical condition. The engine starts up without hesitation, doesn’t smoke, and doesn’t leak anything. The oil pressure is very good and the engine never overheats. The power delivery is very responsive with a very linear curve. The transmission shifts nicely and smoothly. The engine and transmission allow you to drive comfortably and without hesitation. A very easy and nice drive.

The suspension is very smooth and doesn’t rattle or creak going over any bumps. Coupled with the 16 inch wheels, the ride is sporty. Tires are all in good condition and matching. The brakes are excellent and stop this 911 excellently. The pedal is nice and stiff and that makes progressive braking very easy. The underneath of the engine and the engine bay are very nice. Underneath engine cover is present.

· 3.6L Flat 6-cylinder – doesn’t smoke, doesn’t leak, makes excellent power
· Engine has excellent oil pressure
· Never overheats
· Tiptronic transmission
· Transmission shifts nicely without any hesitation
· All instruments work
· Brakes are extremely strong and responsive
· Suspension is very compliant, handles bumps nicely, and provides a smooth ride
· Suspension doesn’t make any bangs or rattles over bumps
· A very nice driving 911

This car isn’t what I would consider ultra low mileage, as the seller states, but we’ll leave that as a minor quibble since the mileage is pretty low and it really does look fantastic both inside and out. That it comes with a bunch of maintenance records and its manuals is an added plus. Obviously, the Tiptronic is not for everyone, but for someone for whom, perhaps with age or injury, shifting a manual has become more difficult, then a car such as this could make for a great alternative. I don’t have a good sense of the market for Tiptronic-equipped 911s, but given the originality, low mileage, and apparent condition I’d suspect this one to fetch a pretty good price. Bidding currently sits at $27,100, with reserve unmet, and were this a manual 964 then that would be quite a steal. For the less desirable Tiptronic, however, perhaps that’s the peak?
