Model history:

As critical as fans watched the appearance of the Porsche 996, they received the presentation of its successor positively. The new 911 Carrera (internal model designation 997) introduced in 2004 caused enthusiasm with its completely revised design and, above all, with the reintroduction of the round headlights. The front apron and the cooling intakes had also been redesigned. All this together not only made the new 911 look particularly harmonious, but also distinguished it definitively and conspicuously from the Boxster. Only at second glance did the new generation reveal that it had more waist again thanks to clearly flared wheel arches.

General information about the vehicle:

In this auction, a Porsche 911 of the 997 series from the year of construction 2004 can now be auctioned, which was registered for the first time in Germany with the FIN WP0ZZZ99Z5S701287 and according to the seller's information has only 2 owners to date. A history of the sports car from Zuffenhausen can be documented, among other things, via a complete checkbook and numerous invoices. The last completed main inspection is valid until May 2024.

Exterior colour/varnish/body:

"Dark blue metallic" is the body of this sports car - after consultation with the seller, he states that the car has already been repainted due to stone chips, but an accident in the current possession can be excluded. Overall, the paint of the car is in view of its total mileage according to the current owner in a normal condition with small traces of use. All attachments are completely preserved and missing parts as well as traces of modifications on the exterior are not to be removed from the vehicle.

Exterior rims/brakes/chassis:

The rims are original 5-spoke Porsch alloy rims - mounted on these are tires of the brand Continental, which according to the owner still have about 50-70% of their new condition. The current owner of this 911 also attests 50-70% of its new condition to the brakes. Modifications to the chassis are not to be mentioned.

In view of the overall mileage of the sports car as extremely well maintained, the condition of the interior can be described. This Porsche 997 features black leather seats, a steel sunroof, a navigation system, xenon headlights and an original radio. All equipment elements of this 911 can be said to function perfectly.

Mileage

262,740 kilometres can be taken from the display in the cockpit: The history of this Porsche and the maintenance effort of the previous owners can be traced via a complete checkbook and various existing invoices for all work on the car over the years. All instruments and controls in the interior are fully functional.

Engine

In 2009, a new engine was installed in the Porsche Centre at KM stand 133,000 - this engine replacement can be documented with invoices. From a displacement of 3.6 litres, Porsche extracts 325 hp from the well-known six-cylinder boxer engine in the Carrera. Via a "Tiptronic" called 5-speed automatic transmission, the gears of this Carrera are engaged and the power of the 6 cylinders is thus transferred to the rear wheels. Most recently, a service took place at KM booth 262,000.

Subsoil:

In view of the total mileage of this 911, the underbody of the Zuffenhausen sports car looks quite neat according to sellers' statements and has no inconsistencies. As the successor to the 996 model series, a Porsche 997 once again combines the classic shape of the headlights and the pronounced wheel arches in the rear area. This 997 Carrera with automatic transmission in dark blue metallic on offer here actually serves as the perfect "entry" into the Porsche 911 world. From the rich history with the many invoices and the complete checkbook it can be felt how much the car has been cared for by its owners over the years - if the future owner continues this care, he will probably enjoy this 997 Carrera for a long time.
