This 2003 Porsche 996 Carrera 4 Cabriolet comes finished in Polar Silver Metallic over a Metropol Blue leather interior and features a 6-speed manual transmission paired with its 3.6-liter flat-six engine. The car was originally sold by Stevinson Imports of Littleton, Colorado, and had three owners prior to the seller’s purchase in 2019 at just under 55k miles. It benefits from the replacements of the transmission and crankshaft oil seal in 2004 and shows a consistent history of maintenance on the CARFAX report up until the current owner's purchase. This Carrera 4 is now being offered for auction out of Colorado while showing approximately 85k miles on the odometer.
The all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 model is distinguished by silver-painted brake calipers and rear model lettering. This example is finished in Polar Silver Metallic with a Metropol Blue cabriolet roof as well as optional bi-xenon headlamps and 18” light alloy Carrera wheels with colored Porsche crest center caps. The front wheels are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires from 2014 and the rear wheels sport Continental ExtremeContact tires from 2021. The CARFAX report indicates minor front-end damage to have occurred in 2019 and the seller states the front bumper cover has been replaced. Some common signs of wear are present on the cabriolet top and two scratches are noted on the driver’s side front fender and rear bumper cover. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin is trimmed in Metropol Blue upholstery with matching carpets and leather seats. Factory equipment includes automatic climate control, a three-spoke leather steering wheel, the optional Bose High-End Sound Package, Power Seat Package, heated front seats, and a 6-disc CD changer. An aftermarket Alpine Bluetooth stereo has been installed and some wear is depicted on the upholstery.
As much as 315 HP and 273 lb.-ft of torque are generated from a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine that drives all four wheels by way of a 6-speed manual transmission. The seller states the transmission and crankshaft oil seal were replaced in 2004 but is unsure if the IMS bearing was also replaced at this time. Service history shown on the CARFAX report consists of routine dealer maintenance up until 2019 including new front brakes in 2017, a new ignition lock cylinder in 2014, and a clutch service in 2013. The seller reports that routine services have continued throughout their ownership.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, some documentation, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for visiting my auction. I have tried to take very good care of this car over the last three years and it runs and drives great. I am selling because I now have a 2004 Carrera 4S Cabriolet and my wife will not allow two. Not enough garage space anyway.”

I want to take this opportunity to thanks everyone who has bid on my car. I will be available to answer any last-minute questions before the bidding ends.
Sorry for the delayed response. I was away from my computer. The tires are mismatched because of a flat that ruined the rear tire and I replaced the rear tires only. The top shows the usual wear and tear for a 20 year old car. It is very serviceable and it operates fine. I have not replaced the hydrolics.

Am I correct that the tires are mismatched and the convertible top is in need of replacement? The top seems worn. Were the hydraulic cylinders for the top replaced?
I do not have pictures of the damage, but it was a tear in the plastic bumper cover and the whole bumper cover was replaced. It appeared to be from a trailer hitch. Unfortunately, it was a hit and run. Routine maintenance has been performed, oil and filter changes annually, air and cabin air filters changed annually. Minor repairs replacing the seat heater switch and relay, headlamp on passenger side, passed recent emmissions test for license renewal and replace headlamp washer.
@seller What maintenance has been performed during during ownership (last 30k miles). Also, do you have pics from the accident?

These really are wonderful cars. I have the identical car in same silver w/blue leather. It is pretty much bullet proof except for IMS and conv top hydraulic cylinders. It is the 4th and far and away the best 911 I’ve had. Good luck selling.
