2003 Porsche 996 Carrera 4S Tiptronic,
If you are looking to enter the Porsche 911 market then this car is an excellent entry point. You are probably aware that the C4S shares many components with the top of the line road car, the 911 Turbo. Aside from the turbocharged engine and associated hardware, these two cars are virtually identical. The C4S has the turbo wide body, chassis running gear, braking system and handling characteristics.
The Mercedes Benz manufactured Tiptronic gearbox is a surprise. Unlike auto gearboxes of old, it is well matched to the performance characteristics of the C4S.
This car was delivered by Porsche Centre Gold Coast in 2003 and has now travelled approximately 179,700 kms. The engine was replaced by Porsche in 2009 with a new, 2005 engine (verified by Porsche Cars Australia). The good news is the 2005 engine has the latest, most robust, IMS bearing which has a very good record of reliability.
To monitor the health of the engine, at its last oil change I had a sample of the oil analysed by Autosphere (www.autosphere.com.au) in Melbourne, who reported that the oil was in good condition with no unexpected particles found. This report is available to prospective buyers.
The car was delivered with the following options:
# 249 Tiptronic S
#680 BOSE Sound System (Digital)
#982 Soft Ruffled Leather seats
# P74 Litronic Headlights
As well as regular maintenance, I have invested in a number of preventative maintenance tasks in order to improve the overall condition of the car to update it.
Major items that have been replaced include:
· Install new front and rear suspension and replacement of the top strut mounts
· New starter motor and starter cable
· New engine mounts
· New heater core
· PCCM+ entertainment system supporting Apple Car Play and Android Auto
· New lip spoiler
· New radiators, water pump and engine water hoses
· New air conditioning condensers
. Navman Dash Camera
. Pirelli Pilot Sport tyres
The car comes with 2 keys and the Owners and Service books,
As noted above, the car how has the Porsche PCCM+ entertainment system fitted. which I chose to install rather than cheaper alternatives to maintain the originality of Porsche parts.
The car is in Northern Tasmania and I will deliver it to Melbourne when sold, or the buyer can fly to Devonport to collect the car and then spend some time enjoying Tasmania's great driving roads before boarding the Spirit of Tasmania for their return trip.
Price negotiable.
