The Carrera 4S combines naturally aspirated performance with the body styling, brakes, and all-wheel-drive system of the 911 Turbo. This 2003 Porsche 996 Carrera 4S coupe is finished in Lapis Blue over a Graphite Grey full leather interior and features an optional 5-speed Tiptronic S transmission as well as a sunroof, rear window wiper, the Bose Surround Sound Package, Sport Exhaust System, carbon/leather steering wheel, Porsche-crested headrests, Maritime Blue seatbelts, and carbon door sills with model insignias. It also benefits from an IMS bearing upgrade, refurbished wheels, a replaced emissions system, and more. Accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this C4S is now being offered for auction by its seller out of California with approximately 112k miles on the odometer.
The Carrera 4S features wider fenders than a standard Carrera along with Turbo-style bumpers and a unique reflector band spanning between the taillights. This Carrera 4S coupe is finished in Lapis Blue and features red Porsche-branded brake calipers, a rear window wiper, and refurbished 18” 911 Turbo wheels dressed in General G-Max tires. The seller notes minor imperfections on the front fascia, rear fender, and hood, as well as a small blemish on the sunroof. panel. The seller notes that the windshield seal requires replacement due to an air leak that causes a whistling noise when driving at high speeds. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report and paint meter readings.
The cabin features Graphite Grey full leather upholstery with Maritime Blue seat belts, carbon door sills with Carrera script, and a sunroof. Additional equipment includes the Bose Surround Sound Package, Porsche-crested headrests, a carbon and leather 3-spoke steering wheel, a carbon and aluminum-trimmed gear selector and handbrake cover, a remote 6-disc CD changer, and Graphite Grey floor mats. The seller reports all gauges, electronics, and accessories to be working properly.
This Carrera 4S is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine rated at 320 HP and 273 lb.-ft of torque. All four wheels are driven by way of a 5-speed Tiptronic S transmission. It was also optioned with the Sport Exhaust System for a more aggressive tone. The car is said to have undergone an IMS bearing and rear main seal service by Porsche Monterey in December 2015, followed by spark plugs replaced in 2018, and the emissions system replaced including both catalytic converters and all oxygen sensors in March 2021. The front axles have been replaced and the front under panels are also said to have been replaced in 2022. The seller adds that annual oil and filter changes have been kept up to date.
This sale will include a clean title, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, a toolkit, an air pump, a spare tire, a car cover, sales literature, and owner’s manuals.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for considering my listing. This Porsche has been garaged at all times during my ownership. Oil and filter changes have been performed annually and both front axles have been replaced. The car is completely stock with no additions or modifications.”

@jbelcredi HI, I have all registration/title documents and registration is current. At approx 90,000 miles all gear boxes were changed - transmission and front and rear differentials - I have service records for the fluid changes.
Do you have all of the proper registration documents? Title/ownership?
As well, do you know if the transmission services were completed?

@Bmedr Hi, yes the white dots are stone chips
Are the white dots on the front exterior all rock chips? Looks like it extends all the way up the front hood
@BigTomSesto1962 my apology - I didn't answer your question about the smog test - car passed smog test with no issues on January 10 2023 also carbon fiber on steering wheel shows wear but carbon fiber sills are in good condition.
@BigTomSesto1962 HI,
yes currently licensed in California - yes it is ready for trip to L.A. - I have the paperwork from monterey Porsche for the IMS replacement - Carbon fiber materials are original and in fair shape they show some stress marks an all interior areas are in good condition -but the drivers seat shows some wear - the car was not in an accident, as it is all wheel drive the front axle boots sometimes crack allowing moisture and debris to enter the joint area and this necessitates replacing the front drive axles. All the photos that were taken are on the listing in Pcarmarket and the front of the car shows typical wear considering the 112,000 miles it has been driven. Thanks for your interest.
Bid in the amount of $10,500
Currently licensed and registered in CA? Passed smog testing in CA in 2023?
Daily driver enough to get from NorCal to L.A.?
Where is paperwork from 2015 for the IMS bearing strengthening and rear seal work done? I do not see it in the repair records. Carbon fiber sills and interior trim all original and in good shape? Or been replaced? No accidents so why were front axles replaced - not a general 996 defect. Can you highlight or better show in photos the slight imperfections you describe in the paint and interior? Much appreciated. Car and paint look great for the mileage.
@Emerald-45 Hi, thanks for your inquiry. The tires are practically new and show very little wear. I have hard copy receipts for all of the service items listed in the write-up. The drivers seat bolster shows some wear but it has retained its original shape and contour. The area around the shifter has a few small scratches.
How much life/tread is remaining on the tires? Do you have hard copy receipts for all the services listed on the write up for your 4S? How is the condition of the drivers sear bolster and the center area near the shifter, scratches etc.
Bid in the amount of $10,000
Welcome and thank you for showing interest in my listing - I will endeavor to answer any and all questions you may have - While I have owned this car I have addressed proper maintenance as required.
