Porsche 997 Carrera 4S

Exterior

The Basalt Black Metallic paintwork presents well overall, with measurements indicating largely original factory paint, with the exception of the bonnet which has been repainted.As expected for a car of this age and mileage, there are visible signs of use including stone chips to the front, light scratches around the body, and a minor dent on the right front wing. The fabric soft top is in functional condition, though showing wear where it folds, which is typical for a Cabriolet of this generation. Overall, the exterior retains a strong presence, supported by the wide Carrera 4S body and classic Porsche proportions.

Interior

The interior is presented in a warm leather specification that contrasts beautifully with the dark exterior. The cabin shows a natural patina throughout, with door cards and upholstery that indicates honest use rather than restoration. All major systems including climate control, radio, and electrical equipment are functioning. However, it should be noted that the fuel gauge is currently not working. The overall impression is that of a genuine driver’s car, offering comfort and usability while retaining its original character.

Engine and drivetrain

At the heart of the Carrera 4S lies the naturally aspirated flat six engine, paired with all-wheel drive and automatic transmission for confident, all-season usability.A recent compression test shows strong and consistent results, with all cylinders measuring above 98%, confirming a healthy engine condition.During inspection, a slight oil sweat from the engine was observed, which is described as normal for a classic car of this type and age.The car performs well mechanically, with engine, gearbox, steering, and braking systems all operating as expected.
