Finished in Seal Grey Metallic over a black interior, this 2006 Porsche 997 Carrera S Cabriolet is equipped with a 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission paired with its 3.8-liter flat-six engine. The car is factory-optioned with Adaptive Sport Seats, the Bose High-End Sound Package, and Sport Chrono Package Plus. It was cared for by two owners in California before the seller’s acquisition in 2018 and benefits from service in 2024 including new rear tires, replacing the PCV valve, serpentine belt, climate control switches, and PCM head unit. Showing approximately 78k miles on the odometer, this 997 is now being offered for auction out of Pennsylvania.
This Carrera S is finished in Seal Grey Metallic with a black power-operated convertible top. Equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, headlamp washers, integrated fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, heated power mirrors, a speed-activated rear spoiler, quad exhaust tips, red brake calipers, and 19” Carrera S wheels. New Hankook rear tires were mounted in 2024 and the front tires are about 3 years old. The seller notes that the exterior was recently detailed and the car was kept in a climate-controlled garage during their ownership. Additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features black leather upholstery including optional Adaptive Sport Seats and a three-spoke steering wheel with Tiptronic shift buttons. Accessories include a Sport Chrono dashboard stopwatch, automatic climate control, cruise control, a remote central locking system, an onboard computer, the Bose High-End Sound Package, and Porsche Communication Management (PCM). The seller indicates the head unit and climate control switches were replaced in 2024.
Rated at 355 HP and 295 lb.-ft of torque, the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed Tiptronic S shiftable automatic transmission. Performance features include Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Stability Management (PSM), fixed 4-piston brakes with cross-drilled rotors, and the optional Sport Chrono Package which includes sport settings for the powertrain and dampers. Service since June 2024 included replacing the PCV valve, serpentine belt, and ignition coil on cylinder #1.
This sale will include owner’s manuals and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for visiting my auction. I have owned this car since 2018 and stored it in a climate-controlled garage. All maintenance is up to date (see receipts). I drove the car (always in good weather) 3,000 miles per year on average. The car is stock with a brand-new radio and rear tires. Overall, the condition is very good, and it has been a pleasure to own and enjoy this Porsche.”

@Havenhearth David - I appreciate your questions.
Regarding the IMS bearing, this was a question I asked when I purchased the car. I was advised the IMS problem had been resolved, not an issue for this vehicle. I had my Porsche expert review, and he found no issue.
I never had the car outside in bad weather or on salty roads. And never a daily driver!
In the next two years, it is likely the car will need two front tires. You can review my list of projects completed since June 2024.
Thank you for your interest, it’s a sweet vehicle!
Have you had the oil tested to evaluate the IMS bearing?
And did you drive the car in inclement weather or on salty roads? ( was the car ever a daily driver? )
What maintenance will the car need in the next two years, please?
Thanks in advance for your time and for yuor assistance,
David
