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. Click here to view the previous PCARMARKET listing.
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 front tires were recently installed, and new Hankook rear tires were mounted in 2024. 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.”

@BR356 Thanks for your interest in my Carrera S and for the thoughtful questions. The oil and filter have been checked regularly and have consistently been found to be clean. Based on these inspections, a bore scope was not deemed necessary at this time.
In June 2024, the PCV (oil separator) valve was replaced, along with the ignition coil on cylinder #1. During that service, the spark plugs were inspected and found to be in good condition.
For additional context, the car has been driven about 18,000 miles over the past seven years, and it has always been used conservatively — never at high speeds or high RPMs.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!
Best regards,
Jim
Has bore scope been done on the car or oil test? When were plugs, coils injectors last serviced?
