It is with a heavy heart that I am parting with my 997.1 Carrera 4S due to lack of space—one of the most complete and well-maintained examples currently available on the market.
Engine & Chassis
3.8-liter naturally aspirated engine with original flap exhaust system—that sound Turbo owners try in vain to retrofit. Add to that the Sport Chrono Package and all-wheel drive with the iconic widebody of the Turbo body: a complete package that speaks for itself.
Color & Interior
Slate Grey Metallic – a color that has returned today as a coveted PTS shade. Ceramic-sealed in 2019. Interior: espresso-brown full leather (Cocoa) with the emblem in the headrests. A color combination that polarizes – but for all the right reasons.
Equipment
Manual transmission · Sport Chrono Package · Turbo wheels · Full leather · PCCM Plus (factory-installed by Porsche Center, incl. Apple CarPlay / Android Auto / GPS) · Heated seats · Sunroof · All-wheel drive · Alarm system · Bi-Xenon headlights · Fog lights · Tire pressure monitoring · Power steering · Central locking · Power windows · Power-adjustable exterior mirrors · and much more
Condition & Maintenance
I have owned the car since 2019 (third owner) and have maintained it consistently:
- Maximum APPROVED warranty until 2021
- All known weak points have been preventively addressed: A/C condensers, water hoses, and much more
- Over EUR 20,000 in service receipts available
- Tires: Front 2022 / Rear 2024 · Brakes: 2022
- Service includes new spark plugs · New TÜV inspection · Complete service history
- No scratches · No dents · Accident-free · Non-smoker
