Representing the inaugural year of the 997 generation, this 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is finished in Midnight Blue Metallic over Stone Grey leather upholstery and features a 6-speed manual transmission.

Showing approximately 47k miles on the odometer, this Carrera is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Mississippi.
This 997 comes finished in Midnight Blue Metallic and rides on factory 18” Carrera III wheels with optional colored Porsche-crested center caps. Other equipment includes fog lights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, dual exhaust outlets, Porsche-branded brake calipers, and the optional Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package. The seller states the Continental ContiSportContact 3 tires are in fair condition and show 2012 date codes. A few minor imperfections are noted, detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, the driver is greeted with Stone Grey standard leather upholstery with aftermarket Coco floor mats. Optional features include heated front seats, the Bose High-End Sound Package, Navigation for PCM, and self-dimming mirrors. Some wear is noted on the ashtray and radio control knobs. Standard equipment includes power windows and mirrors, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a three-spoke leather steering wheel.
A naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine sends up to 325 HP and 273 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. Acceleration from 0-60 MPH can occur in less than 5 seconds while stopping power comes from fixed 4-piston brakes and cross-drilled discs at each corner. The CARFAX report shows six service history entries, and no outstanding maintenance items have been reported by the seller.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Very Clean 2005 Carrera. New Mats Car has less than 48k Miles.”

I added 2 videos cold start. Also pics of small scratches on the door edges. I haven’t changed the oil. It was changed the week I purchased it. I haven’t probably only driven 300 miles.

Does it require any top off of oil before each oil change if so how much?

Just the tint. The window is not delaminated. I will try and get a few videos posted on it cracking tomorrow.
@idealtechies no floods. No issues.
I notice there isn't any startup videos or driving videos, any plans to upload some? any issues with the car that are known or any maintenance that is needed soon?
Question regarding the tint, the passenger side looks like there is de-lamination on pic 32 on the edge of the window. can you confirm thanks

Seems like there is some rust in the bottom rear. Has this car been in any floods? There was some flooding in Baton rouge in 2016. Was this car affected?

I am out of town till tomorrow. I can get a pic of the tire thread. Tires all match--just different dates of manufacture. I haven't taken the tires and rims off to inspect the brakes. I have only driven the car about 400 miles-- I bought a 06 automatic and now have 3. Thats the only reason I am selling this one
The previous owner lived in Louisiana where the state requires yearly inspections on lights and windshields. They must have just put any number in for that inspection. The previous owner had the car since 2017 but had never titled it. Thats why you see a MS title being issued on 7/16 to him then again on 8/24 to myself. He needed to get it title before he could sell it to me.
Any details on the 2017 mileage inconsistency?
Can you get a photo of the tire tread ? All matching tires? How are the brake pads n rotors?
@idealtechies no hard shifting. The previous owner did his own oil changes no major maintenance has been done that I know of
@idealtechies they are.
Bid in the amount of $7,750
do you know what is the last major maintenance done on the car or any at all? any issue with hard shifting 1st and 2nd gear or notchieness feeling?
can you verify if the ppf rock guards on the sides of the car cracking?
@Pending no
Any smells in the interior?
Paint meter readings have been added to the listing page
@idealtechies paint readings range from
3.77 up to 4.6 mils on side panels. Hood was 5.13mil. Not sure I am working this reader correctly
The production date on this car was 11/2004, so it almost certainly has the older, smaller IMS bearing. The good news is that it can be replaced with an improved version, but it will need to be done at some point.
@idealtechies I will work on the paint readings today and see if I can find anyone local that has the equipment to for DME report--No rust of any issues. Also the guy I purchased the car from tried to find out if he should replace the IMS..He couldn't confirm if that engine had a different IMS bearing.. The only way would be to pull it apart.
@Tmmorgan1974 Thanks paint readings would be great. Also are you able to get a DME report on the Over Rev report? Love the color. Any rust or issues to be aware of?
Bid in the amount of $7,500
@idealtechies Sorry unfortunately nothing. But I don't believe the car has been repainted. I purchased in August then just purchased a newer automatic last month so I decided to sell this one.
Any Maintiance records? Clutch? Service? Has the car been repainted? Any paint depth readings?
@idealtechies No It hasn’t.
Has the ims been replaced or addressed?
