Now available for auction is this 2005 Porsche 997 Carrera Coupe finished in Seal Grey Metallic over a black interior. Representing the inaugural model year for the 997 generation, this 2005 Carrera was configured at an original sticker price of over $76k with a 6-speed manual transmission, heated power-adjustable seats, the Bose Surround Sound System, Sport Chrono Package Plus, and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). It was acquired by the second and current owner from a Porsche dealer in 2014 and is accompanied by a collection of service records dating back to the original owner’s purchase. Showing approximately 23k miles on the odometer, this 6-speed 997 Carrera is now being offered for auction by its owner out of New York.
This 997 comes finished in Seal Grey Metallic and rides on optional 18” Carrera III wheels. New Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires were mounted in 2016 at 17k miles. The seller notes a few minor imperfections throughout the exterior as depicted in the photo gallery. Paint meter readings are also provided for reference along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, this Carrera is appointed with a black standard leather interior featuring power-operated and heated seats, the Bose Surround Sound System, and a Sport Chrono stopwatch dial on the center dashboard. The seller confirms all gauges and accessories to be working properly.
This first-generation 997 Carrera is equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.6L flat-six engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Up to 325 HP and 273 lb.-ft of torque are sent to the rear wheels, allowing this Carrera to accelerate from 0-60 MPH in as little as 4.8 seconds with a top speed of nearly 180 MPH. The Sport Chrono Package Plus allows the driver to optimize performance characteristics as well as stiffen or soften the optional Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) settings. Records are said to accompany the sale dating back to the original owner’s purchase including a dealer invoice for a 15k-mile recommended service in 2011. The front and rear brake pads were replaced at 13k miles, the alternator assembly was replaced in June of 2021, and the seller confirms an oil change to have been carried out in the last year.
This sale will include service records, original owner's manuals, and a clean title. This low-mileage 2005 Carrera is a perfect choice for any discerning driver in search of a 6-speed 997, do not miss your chance to get behind the wheel.

Photo 97, right before the car fax , shows production month to be 2004-09-01.
That should help in establishing the history , this 2005 came out of the factory.
The underside picture of the hood shows the VIN , plus other data related identifiers - see photo 77.
@UpNorthMN No bearing work has been done. This is a late model 2005 that I sought to reduce the likelihood of those issues. As you probably know, 2005, was a split production year. The earlier cars had the smaller bearings and the 06-08 years had the larger bearings I just verified that with L&N engineering who is the shop who came up with the solution to address any bearing corrections. I'm far from an expert on the matter so please do your own research but I can say my car runs excellent and never had any hints of these problems.
Has and IMS Solution been added to this 997?
Good news. I will change the ad but the radio and the heated seats are now fully
functional. It was an easy correction in the right hands; a new battery was installed in October (bill will be attached) and then the car went into storage for the winter and the car needs to be reset when a new battery is installed and today it was reset by a Porsche specialty shop, along with a 10 amp fuse. Problem solved.
Thank you for your bid. Let me know if you have any questions. By the way, all 4 tires (Michelin Pilot Super Sport BW XL ) were replaced at 17,400 miles.

I'm available to answer any inquiries about my 911 that I have enjoyed for the past 7 years and with low mileage there is plenty of enjoyment yet to be had with this car. Tom
