This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (VIN WP0AA29993S620658) has a claimed 57,294 miles and is finished in “Arctic Silver Metallic”. The seller states, “If you want a trouble free 996 that shows and drives well, look no further”. Find this one offered here on Autotrader in Jacksonville, FL for $29,000.
The Carrera 4S or C4S for short, was first introduced in 1994 in the US market. Porsche took a bunch of unsold 964 3.6L Turbo chassis assemblies and created the 964 Carrera Turbo-look. They then did the same thing with the 993 to create the Carrera 4S Coupe. Rinse and repeat, and here we are with the 996 version.
For the 996 version, Porsche added a full width rear reflector and removed the side air intakes. Essentially, the C4S is a Turbo without the turbocharged “Mezger” engine and side air intakes. Xenon headlamps appear to be the only exterior option on this car.
The C4S’s came with the same naturally aspirated 3.6L flat-six that was good for 320HP that was found in every other base (996.2) Carrera. In this case, the seller is claiming lots of recent maintenance, “All significant issues common to the 996 line have been addressed. Recent clutch replacement, water pump, fuel pump, ignition coils, expansion tank and many more.YES, IMS bearing, rear main seal and oil separator HAVE been replaced with the LN Engineering unit. Recent gear oil and front differential service as well as brake flush”.
The interior appears is finished in Graphite Grey full leather (dash and door cards) and heated seats. Bose high end sound and remote CD changer round out the interior.
A lot of folks prefer the widebody Turbo looks as compared to the base narrow-body Carrera. Others prefer the AWD for all year driving in colder areas. Whatever the reason, this is priced under market with all of the documented maintenance. A 59K-mile C4S and NO IMS WORK sold for $29,400 on BaT not too long ago. The IMS/RMS/Clutch work is about $2500-$3500 so you’re already a winner even paying full ask. Ask for the Carfax/Autocheck and don’t forget that PPI! Make this Cheap 4S, your firstflatsix.
