When I bought my 2001 Porsche 911, the seller only provided me with one key with the vehicle. It’s not comforting knowing that you only have one key for your 996. If you lose this only key, you’ll be dealing with the inconvenience of being stranded, but also getting your car to the dealership where you’re forced to pay whatever they want to charge you for getting you a new key on the spot.

I was perusing the Facebook Marketplace ads like I usually do and this 2001 Porsche 911 Cabriolet came up on my feed. I wasn’t even expecting to find a 911 as the typical price point for my project cars is usually under $10k. However, this 996 popped up for a pretty good price so I had to send a message to the owner.
