Available for auction is this 2003 Porsche 996 Carrera 4S Coupe finished in Carrara White. With its Turbo-derived styling, larger brakes, and lowered sport-tuned suspension, the Carrera 4S remains a top choice for enthusiasts of the 996 generation. This 2003 example was configured at an original cost of over $90k with a 6-speed manual transmission, the Bose High-End Sound Package, painted hardback Sport Seats, the Exclusive Aluminum/Chrome Package, and a Graphite Grey full leather interior. An LN Engineering IMS bearing upgrade is said to have been installed and the seller has conducted extensive maintenance throughout their ownership since 2019 including replacements of the water pump and drive belt, new tires, wheel alignment, and a comprehensive fluid flush. Currently showing just under 110k miles on the odometer, this Carrera 4S is being offered for auction by its owner out of Oregon.
This Carrera 4S is finished in nonmetallic Carrara White and features wide fenders, Turbo-style bumpers, and a model-specific reflector band between the taillights. Paint protection film has been applied over the front hood, bumper, fenders, and rocker panels. Both the front and rear bumpers are believed to have been previously refinished and the seller notes a scratch on the front bumper, additional images are provided in the photo gallery along with a clean CARFAX report. Stainless steel tailpipes are included as part of the Aluminum/Chrome Package and this 996 rides on 18” Turbo-Look wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport tires showing date codes from 2018 and 2019.
The cabin has been generously appointed with Graphite Grey full leather upholstery including Sport Seats with Exclusive Carrara White painted seatbacks. Other factory features include the Bose High-End Sound Package, the Xenon Headlamp Package, and the Aluminum/Chrome Package which adds aluminum-look instrument dials as well as stainless steel door entry guards with model logos. The center console has been painted to match the exterior and a Rennline phone mount and aftermarket microphone have been installed as well. The seller reports all accessories to be working properly, although the radio buttons stick at times.
The naturally aspirated 3.6L flat-six engine features VarioCam Plus variable intake timing and was factory rated at 320 HP and 273 lb.-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. Compared with the standard Carrera 4, the 4S features a lower and more firmly tuned suspension as well as larger 4-piston monobloc brakes borrowed from the Turbo model. This example features an upgraded Fabspeed exhaust system and is said to have undergone an LN Engineering IMS upgrade along with a new clutch and new inner and outer CV boots under previous ownership. Since the seller’s purchaser in 2019, this 996 has received a full fluid flush, new tires, four-wheel alignment, new brakes at all four corners, a new water pump, drive belt, battery, coolant hoses, and a new driver’s window regulator. An oil and filter service was also performed in July of 2021. A collection of service records is provided for reference in the photo gallery.
This sale will include the original owner's manuals, some service records, a set of two keys, and a clean title. The Porsche 996 generation is becoming increasingly sought after, do not miss your chance to own this thoroughly serviced and nicely optioned Carrera 4S 6-speed.

@skramer98 sorry, I left it at German Master Tech. I will check with them today, but I doubt they kept it.
@Ryanctotten will post one today.
Any videos while driving? Thanks
@Nt1992 do you still have the OEM exhaust?
@axe127 unfortunately with installation of the Fabspeed exhaust the button for sports exhaust is rendered mute.

@Hugotoo I do not have a lift, but will try my best to take some from the ground. Look for them tomorrow.
Hi do you have any pictures of the underside of the car?
@Nt1992 I asked the PC crew to upload new photos
@BReif61 the Fabspeed exhaust has muffler attached to the kit. You could view the added photos.
Does the exhaust mods consist of just the Fabspeed x-pipe, or were the mufflers upgraded as well?
By the looks of the car fax I appear to be the 7th owner, purchased in 7/2019, put around 7k miles and ready to move on. One is never an owner but rather a caretaker.
Can you tell me how many owners, is there a service history etc?
Hello everyone looking at my beautiful car. Feel to ask your questions and I will respond to the best of my ability. Thank you and good luck.
