2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe Features and Options:6 speed manualArctic silver with black interiorFull leather interior with supple leather option for the seatsPorsche crests on headrestsPorsche PCM with Navigation (updated to 8/2007 maps)Carbon fiber interior trim (instrument cluster, dash console, steering wheel, door sills, handbrake, shifter)Bose sound systemRear bumper pads matched to body colorOther standard features for the C4S: sunroof, power seats, cruise, xenon headlights, all-wheel driveIf you are not familiar with the C4S, this is basically a 996 Turbo minus the turbo engine, rear wing and intercooler air inlets. It has the wide body chassis, bigger brakes with cross-drilled rotors, lower ride height, turbo-style front spoiler, larger rear tires, turbo style side skirts, and revised rear bumper - much more attractive and fun to drive than an standard 996 coupe.6K Miles on a New Factory Engine:In May, 2011 this car's first owner experienced an IMS bearing failure at 25,598 miles Momentum Porsche of Houston installed a brand new Porsche factory engine at the cost of $16,905 (see the receipt in photo 10)The new engine has the revised IMS (Internal Main Shaft) bearing as well as a larger main seal to minimize the chance of oil leaksThis engine looks and performs like a new engineOwnership History:This car spent its first 8 years with the first owner in Houston, TX until it was traded in to Momentum in 2011The 2nd owner purchased this car from Momentum in 2011 and put 5k miles on it until I purchased the car in October, 2012My Repairs and Upgrades:Upon purchasing this car in November, 2012 I had a full inspection performed at 31,007 miles, and I had anything that required repair or service done at that time including: 30k service (oil, filters, fuel system cleaning, transmission and differential fluid flush, etc.)New xenon headlightsNew windshield 4 wheel alignmentNew batteryDension iPod integration (allows text display and music selection via the PCM screen)New sport shifter (shortens throw distance - much easier to shift gears quickly)Several other small repairs (fixed some rattles, replaced the front trunk latch, etc.)Everything works on this car, and no repairs or service are necessary at this timeOther Improvements:New, lightweight wheels and Michelin PS2 tires (the lightweight wheels have reduced rotating mass by 20 lbs. and have produced a noticeable improvement in handling, acceleration, and breaking)Dension iPod integration with control via the PCM screen (iPod located in the center console)Rear bumperettes painted to match body colorSport exhaust upgrade using factory mufflersNew front floor mats with Carrera 4S logoCondition:This car was in amazing shape when I purchased it, and I've made it even better with repairs and improvements to bring the car up to as-close-to-new condition as is reasonable. This car has beautiful paint with only a few blemishes shown in the last few photos. This car has not been in any accidents and has never had any paint work. You can see in photos 8 and 9 that the paint has a deep luster and does not have swirl marks or spider webs you would expect with a car of this age. The interior looks new with the exception of the lower, left driver's seat bolster which has the expected wrinkles from age (no cracks or tears - see photos). The leather has been properly maintained and still has the factory, matte finish look. This car has always been garaged and properly cared for, and has never been smoked in. This car starts immediately, idles smoothly, and drives like a new car. No fluid or oil leaks. No issues with the engine, brakes, suspension, or electronics - everything works. No modifications to the engine, brakes, or suspension. All service receipts back to 2003 are included. The original spare, tire jack, and tools are unused. Two keys and the original manuals in the leather case are included. Process to Ensure Buyer Confidence:Make an offer or buy it now. I require a $500 refundable deposit. I will pay for the car to be inspected and arrange for you to speak with the Porsche Master Tech that knows all of the details on this car. If any repairs are required, I will pay for them. If you decide not to purchase the car, I will refund your $500 deposit. I am that confident that that this car has no issues and is ready to drive. Why Selling?I had a seal gray C4S back in 2004 which I sold when my first child was on the way. Last year I decided that I missed having a 911 and decided to purchase this car. My intention was to bring this car up to like-new condition and keep it for many years to come. Then... this month I came across an opportunity to purchase a mint-condition 997 Turbo with very low miles, so I jumped on it. I have room for 5 cars in my garage, and this C4S is now the 6th car and needs to go to a new home. This car is temporarily parked in a climate-controlled storage facility with a car cover protecting it until it's sold to its next owner. Price Rationale:I purchased this car 7 months ago for $38,200 - a great deal given the car's excellent cosmetic condition and the $17k new factory engine with 5k miles. Since then I have invested over $12k to bring the car to like-new condition (receipts included). I am pricing this car for a quick sale, and I feel confident this is one of the cleanest 996 C4S examples available in the country. My loss is your gain - if you are looking for a 996 C4S coupe that looks and drives like it is only a few years old (and won't surprise you with repair bills), then this is the car. Please email me with any questions. I am available to show the car locally, and please note this is advertised locally and could sell at any time.
