For all the days I wish I had a Porsche 911 GT3 to crawl into the sport bucket seats and shift my own gears, there are some days when I just don’t want to think at all. For a lot of people, that is most days. A comfortable convertible with an automatic transmission and soft suspension sounds pretty good! If that is your thing, you are in luck given they are by far the least expensive way to get into a modern 911. Today’s car, a 2005 911 Carrera finished in the rare Carmon Red Metallic, checks in with 42,000 miles.

I think it wouldn’t be out of line to be a little skeptical on this one. Anything a selling point from a dealer is “we approve bad credit” you should probably be extra vigilant. Despite just 42,000 miles, you can see some heavy wear on the Sand Beige leather steering wheel. If you can get past that, this one does have some nice options for being a base 911 with 19″ Carrera Classic wheels, bi-xenon headlights, heated seats, the Sport Chrono Package Plus, and Bose audio.
If this was a 6-speed coupe with 42,000 miles, I’m willing to bed this one would be listed for $60,000. However, chop the roof and slide in the five-speed automatic, now we are looking at an asking price of $44,000. I think that is probably reasonable as long as this one checks out. Just spring for the PPI on this one. It is probably worth it.
