2008 Porsche Carrera 4S Cabriolet
VIN WP0CB299X8S775071
Guards Red with Black Leather Interior

Introduced for the 2005 model year, the 997 generation of the Porsche 911 addressed many of the complaints about the 996 generation before it. Having almost gone out of business in the early 1990s, Porsche embarked on an aggressive program to reduce the cost of building cars by enhancing the efficiency of the manufacturing process and by designing cars that were themselves less costly to produce. The 996 emerged from this new type of thinking, and together with the Boxster, reversed the company’s decline and laid the groundwork for the success the company now enjoys. Critics complained that while the 996 drove well, the quality and aesthetics had suffered, and the 997 brought both higher quality and exceptional good looks back to the forefront of the Porsche 911 value proposition. The cars were available in dozens of forms, with the S models gaining a 3.8 liter 380hp powerplant in place of the 3.6 liter 355hp of the standard car, as well as wider fender flares on the 4 wheel drive variants.

This car is a Carrera 4S Cabriolet, which means it is equipped with the 3.8 liter 380hp engine, as well as the wider flares of the Carrera 4. It was originally sold in California and has covered about 35,000 miles from new. It is equipped with 6-speed manual transmission and was optioned with navigation, color wheel crests, and Sport Chrono. The car also has an iPod hardwire cable in the glove box. The car is complete with extensive books set, tools, compressor, and wind deflector. The car went to the Porsche dealer (Sonnen) in November of 2013 to get a check over and repair any issues under warranty that were needed. The tire pressure monitoring system sensors were replaced and a few other items addressed. The car was also thoroughly inspected and found to be in great shape overall.

The car is in very nice condition, with only light wear to the paint from regular road use. There are minor chips to the paint on the front bumper and deck lid, but no other significant wear to report. The wheels are in good shape, with minor curb marks on the rear wheels, but none present on the front wheels. The trim is in good shape and the panels are straight. The glass and lights are in very good shape as well.

The interior is in good condition other than some wear to the leather on the driver’s seat bolster and the hand brake handle. There are some burn marks on the passenger’s seat. The carpets are excellent, as is the dashboard and the accompanying switches and controls. The engine compartment and trunk are in excellent shape, with no modifications and complete original equipment including DVD navigation, tools, books, compressor, wind deflector, and bag for the wind deflector.

This is a low mileage widebody Carrera 4 Cabriolet in very nice condition. It is a California car from new and is a great driving and quick car that can be driven daily in all kinds of weather. The car is very complete with books, tools, and compressor.
