Designated as a launch car for the 997’s inaugural model year, this 2005 Porsche 997 Carrera S Coupe is finished in Black over matching full leather upholstery and features a 6-speed manual transmission. It was further configured with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, the Sport Chrono Package Plus, heated Adaptive Sport Seats, the Bose Surround Sound System, and more. Showing approximately 131k kilometers or 81k miles on the odometer, this example is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Canada.
This Coupe is finished in Black and modified with an OEM GT3 rear wing. It can be distinguished as an S version from the standard Carrera by its red-painted brake calipers and quad exhaust outlets. Equipment also includes fog lights, an electric sunroof, 19” Carrera S wheels, and optional yellow ceramic brake calipers. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The Black full leather interior includes an Alcantara headliner, a three-spoke leather steering wheel, and optional heated Adaptive Sport Seats. Other options include the Bose Surround Sound System, a PCM navigation module, self-dimming mirrors, and a Sport Chrono stopwatch dial atop the dashboard.
Rated at 355 HP and 295 lb-ft of torque, the Carrera S is equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine sending power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. The seller states that a complete engine rebuild was performed at a cost of approximately $25k during the most recent ownership. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Stability Management (PSM), an Active Braking Differential (ABD), and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) come standard, while the Sport Chrono Package Plus and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) were additionally opted for.
This sale will include a Canadian registration.
The seller would like you to know: “Porsche listened to the complaints. No more egg fried eyes on the generation that follows the first-generation liquid-cooled 996. Welcomed 997 roundies… Here we have a Carrera S with a legendary flat-six 3.8L manual. Chassis shows 82k miles; Engine: close to zero. The car has been improved on so many levels, including the Genuine/authentic GT3 wing, which is better than the NEW one! German owner who took great care of it, like only Germans could. Like White on Rice. For some reason, his beloved 997 is too fast for him nowadays. He is ready to migrate to American iron, heavy metal. He is now seeking a decent C2 Corvette, the last item to tick off his bucket list. You're welcome!"

@AlexBert and for the record, I asked specifically about what was replaced initially during the rebuild and you said that there were no IMS bearing issues on a 997.1 Carrera S 3.8L to which you now state they all have issues and if not dealt with, you’d have a bomb…? Again, mismatched information. The itemized invoice doesn’t even show IMS on it.

@AlexBert I literally attempted to ask questions on the last auction site to which you either completely lied about or ignored. You literally said word for word that there was no catastrophic failure of the engine and that the owner “grabbed the bull by its horns” to complete preventative maintenance. After discovering the Copart listing and details, it doesn’t even look like the owner did the repairs during his ownership as the dates don’t make much sense. From my understanding, the shop purchased the car from Copart and did the maintenance themselves then flipped it.
There were so many unanswered questions and questionable replies including one comment questioning if the clutch was replaced during the engine out service to which no response was provided.
You are correct. I won’t be a winner on this one. I thought this would have been something worth bidding on initially but red flags were apparent. I spoke with a few bidders including the highest bidder that you spoke about who offered $60k+5% fees. That was a very fair offer, but from my understanding he was hesitant to go any higher because of a non-refundable $500 fee to see the car in person.
Like others have said, doing an engine rebuild does not constitute to being a high quality build from a reputable shop. Being up front and clear is needed. You valued this car at $65k+5% fees initially, but failed to provide relevant information that would deem the prices and fees worthy.
What suspension is on it? Is it stock??
It is helpful if folks can remember to add currency to any dollar figures being presented, including @pcarmarket. The copart sale was copart of Canada and $30k CAD ($21k USD). The engine rebuild of $19k CAD ($14k USD).
@seller it would behoove you to spend less time trying to dress up your commentary with flashy adjectives and just transparently answer the questions. Doing an engine rebuild in and of itself does not constitute a high quality build from a reputable shop. I agree with you if this is nor the car for you, best to look elsewhere. This is a risky bet no matter what given the history. And for what it's worth, an invoice with a list of parts does not exactly instill confidence on the full extent of the initial problem and the subsequent work performed etc.
@noodleboy You are Hilarious dude and your new wingmen. I suggest You to Get a Life. Maybe take a month vacation to Hawaii….to catch the Aloha Spirit. ( Priceless advice ) Mark my words.
996 and 997.1 had/have issues like Everybody knows. ( Except the Turbo) . You can BUY a cheap 996 or 997. But if IMS was not dealt with. You drive a 💣.
THIS Car went through a Massive Amount of Love / care / Consideration. ❤️❤️❤️
It’s the one to Own. If You have the Budget.
Reserve reflects the Pile of Bills to make it Better than NEW.
With new sleeves, pistons and everything else, Head Mechanic said: Engine is BulletProof. He would sustain Turbos.
…and No picture from the Gallery makes Justice to How wonderful this Car his < Live > Btw.
You will not be the Winner of this Lot.
I don’t want a hater/troll become new owner.
Someone Else Will. Bet All You have.
You want it
You can afford it
Go Ahead and Do It

@mmckee99 here’s the copart ad. Car noted as engine failure and sold off for 30k. When I asked about it on the last site, the seller said the engine never failed and he did an engine rebuild as a maintenance item…

@noodleboy @thigg12 and just like that the auction from the other site was taken down...... very suspicious. I believe the seller of this car runs the other auction site, so they are probably trying to hide the last result/comments on the auction.
Gallery down Below ( Picture 137-138-139 ) invoice related to the Engine ReBuilt.
New Sleeves, Pistons. Timing chain. Complete Reconstruction. Open checkbook no expense spared. ( March.28.2023)
Also: car was provided with New Battery. New Alternator ( Bosch ). Window regulators were serviced as well. And Car was ceramic coated as well. Twice. 2X
Next Custodian will Be… VERY HAPPY!
Additional content has been added to the gallery for this listing.
@mmckee99 This car was listed on a different auction site with a reserve for $65k plus 5% worth of fees. After no one met reserve, a month later the seller jacked it up to $85k and now it’s on this platform.
I want to say I saw the value in this car, but after learning it had a full catastrophic failure on the engine which ended up being sold on co-part. I don’t see it being worth anywhere near that anymore.
Definitely read through the comments in the other site. Front rotors of the PCCB look like they need replacing as well.
Processing uploads of Engine ReBuilt invoices. That will make the Gallery very soon.
@mmckee99 saw the same auction listing as well. Comment section worth the read through.
@mmckee99 : Good Eyes! Long story short:
I prioritize sending my Porsche to PcarMarket. Natural habitat. When I produced the photo gallery in Drummondville on the day of the 4-foot snowstorm, taking the car out was out of the question. The submission couldn't be accepted with a gallery done in this small, dark garage. So I put the car on a local ( very effective ) site. The highest bid was $60,000 a week after the auction ended. The offer was discarded, politely.
Fresh new Gallery was done outside, golden hour, last week.
Car was put up for sale earlier a month ago. Highest bid was 55.5K CAD with a buy now price of 85K CAD. See the auction here: https://fastcarbids.com/en/auction/4369b5
@michaelpitton You don’t like zesty comments, Style and / or presentation. No need to insult. Move on to the next lot. GTFA. TYVM!
What a ridiculous sellers opening statement. Sorry, not sorry. Added NO value to the car at all. Sheesh....
✨Forgot to mention: NEW ALTERNATOR ⚡️& Fresh NEW Battery 🔋. They Were Fine. But Owner Decided to Change them, preemptive care. +Nano-Ceramic coating as Well, for a Permanent Brilliant Shine ✨✨✨✨✨
@gaiakai i Do have copies on Engine overall invoice. That i sent with original Submission. I will add them at the end of Gallery. Stay Tuned. Comeback Often and Drop Bids!!!
( Ask Permission to Wife First: If You Have To… )
Message to All Bidders!
Happy Wife; Happy Life!
@windsurfar : Thanks For the Comment.
Clarification: I said big hips originally in the Description ( not wide Body ) because: Story: last 30 days: I did multiple F & G-Body 911 listings, and jumped into THIS wonderful 997. Much Much Wider. Different ERA / Period / Millenium.
Automotive industry inflated the Sizes of cars. And Porsche is no Exception. I was mesmerized the other day to see average Jane Honda Civic was bigger than W140 Flagship of the nineties.
PCCB came as Original Option on the car. Plenty of Life Left. Ill ask for precisions. In Approach.
Welcome to Alex’s Lot #141 on PcarMarket, the Place to Acquire the Very Best Specimens.
We have a stunning & gorgeous 997 this week, Flawless from Bumper-to-Bumper, BottomUp; All Angle.
Any Questions, Welcomed, Down here, or By Clicking Contact Seller. Have a very pleasant week.
PS: Please visit Lot #140: not same Club, but same Family 😉

Do you have a copy of the invoice for the engine rebuild? Was it rebuilt with nickies and an IMS solution?
The listing has been updated.
Interesting 997.1. You mention wide hips in the comments. The 997 S did not come with a wide body. It maintained the normal narrow body panels. Unless a PO replaced the panels? So this is not with “wide hips”. The ceramic brakes are a great option unless they are the original ceramic discs? Have they been replaced and if not how much left on the current discs, as that is a very expensive “brake job” if needed. Thanks.
