Offered for auction is this 2007 Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Coupe finished in Meteor Grey Metallic. The range-topping Carrera model available at the time, this 4S was ordered at an original sticker price of over $100k with a premium two-tone Black and Terracotta leather interior along with the Bose High-End Sound Package, Power Seat Package, Sport Chrono Package Plus, and a 6-speed manual transmission. A radar detector system has been custom integrated and the car benefits from a recent IMS bearing and clutch replacement. Showing under 40k miles on the odometer, this Carrera 4S Coupe is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Connecticut.
This 997 comes finished in Meteor Grey Metallic, a classic Porsche color that first appeared in the early 1980s. Compared to a standard Carrera, the all-wheel-drive 4S model sports wider wheels and fenders along with red-painted brake calipers. This example rides on optional 19” Carrera S wheels dressed in a set of Michelin Pilot Sport tires from 2020. The seller notes clear paint protection film has been applied over the nose section, additional images are provided in the photo gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with premium two-tone Black and Terracotta leather including optional power-operated and heated seats. Other equipment includes self-dimming mirrors, a Sport Chrono stopwatch dial, automatic climate control, and Porsche Communication Management (PCM). The car has also been fitted with a custom integrated Valentine One radar detector system.
All four wheels are driven through a 6-speed manual transmission paired with a naturally aspirated 3.8L flat-six engine producing as much as 355 HP and 295 lb.-ft of torque. The 4S comes standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and larger fixed four-piston brakes derived from the 911 Turbo. The optional Sport Chrono Package Plus allows the driver to engage Sport and Sport Plus modes for enhanced performance and driving feel. The CARFAX report includes a long service history mainly through Porsche dealers and the seller states the IMS bearing and clutch were recently replaced along with a full service including new fluids and filters.
This sale will include the original owner's manuals and a clean title.

@SLOWER You would become owner 5. I’m a dealer and associated with a Porsche shop that does all the work on these cars. Bid with confidence as I always say as this car is a great example with low miles and all the right options. It has a great service history and the next owner will get a great 997 c4s coupe.
@Ricster65 Could we clarify, is this a car you've owned and driven since 2016 or you have taken possession of it recently for resale? Winner of the auction becomes owner 5, or owner 6? Thank you.
@Ricster65 Thank you for the update. I’ll hold my bid until I see this documentation for the bore scope and clutch replacement.
@G964 I posted the pictures but they (pcar) have not loaded them yet
I see no pictures or invoice for the bore scope, or the invoice for the clutch replacement. Please post that too. Respectfully, you claimed the IMSB was replaced, then acknowledged that it wasn’t….Let’s see the documentation for these important items before you ask me to “bid with confidence”.
@G964 I added the pictures of the scope. You probably can’t tell from the pics but clean bores. You ask for it to be done and I did it.
@G964 I can post the pictures but they won’t read well off of here I can also have the shop that performed the scope to write up a report. Note: bores were clear of any scuffing. That can also accompany the buyer of the vehicle in his paperwork. I performed the readings per your request now bid with confidence
@Ricster65 Are you posting the pics from the bore scoping, and/or invoice from the repair shop that did the bore scope stating no scoring found?
@G964 we opened the seals on the IMS bearing to flow the oil. These are really never that much of an issue but we made sure there won’t be an issue. The bore scoping we have done as well as the dme report. All came back perfect. So all can bid in total confidence
@G964 Godd, no kidding…. I’ve corrected this topic so many times, yet some claim that dealers have replaced them on those model years…. ????
After all that about bore scoping,no bid!
@JTaylorGT stock exhaust and tips
The exhaust tips look to be aftermarket - can you comment on the exhaust system?
@Ricster65 So today we performed the scope reading on the cylinders on this vehicle. It gets a clean bill of health by eps porsche repair facility. ?. So please bid in confidence
@G964 To make everyone feel at ease we are performing that today on this car (bore check). Stay tuned
PCAR should really edit the description where it says "recent IMS bearing". Any 2005.5-2008 997 or 987 listing that claims new IMSB should be questioned. Bore scoping on these cars should be mandatory.
I think it's fair to say the cost of the inspection and the new set of plugs would come back in the sale price.
I don’t know if it’s an issue for anyone else, for me it is if I see a clean boroscope I’m definitely bidding more on the car. It’s just a risk reward issue. Some guys never had an issue with it, some other guys buy their cars 6 months later yes that’s in it already. You can definitely drive a car with score bore, end to
All ends is an engine rebuilt and it’s not getting any cheaper on these engines. I’m already budgeting for a 3.8 or 4.0 built on mine,
@luis.seneriz if you want me to scope them which I doubt there will be issues I can I was quoted 2 hours labor and the shop that has serviced it doubts any issues as well.
It’s a shame that the bores where not scoped. The more I get involved in the Porsche community the more issues with the m96/97 engines specially bore scoring. A Jake Rabi FSI rebuilt runs $30k. It’s a risk reward situation but I’m. It putting $60k on a car that may have scored bores. Also in these engines the 3.8 is more likely to score than the 3.6, the less likely to score is the 3.4, especially the engines that had lokasil 1 piston coating and cylinders. Great looking car.
Bid in the amount of $43,000
@Mongoosedoc yes
Bid in the amount of $15,000
Does this car have heated seats?
@Mongoosedoc yes 2 keys
@Quackbury No. No reason to no issues.
Stunning car. Has it been bore scoped?
Bid in the amount of $9,971
Do you have both keys?
@Bagger76 Just added the dme report. Perfect report
@SLOWER None. Except a built in valentine one.
@ricster65 Any modifications to the car?
@Madtown91 Hi I have the records for the service performed. I spoke to the shop they may have had the cover off and put another cover on from a different car. It will be corrected
Beautiful car-
Do you have service records, and the specific record from the work previously mentioned?
And excuse my naïveté, if it’s a 4s, why in the world does the engine cover show 3.6 and not 3.8?
@REB27 clutch was done 1k miles ago by an independent race shop and the seal was removed on the IMS so you can get pass through oil lubrication and is the fix for the later design.
@REB27 @Ricster65 These later 997.1 cars have the larger IMS bearing that is not replaceable without splitting open the engine. Documentation of the work regarding the IMS bearing will be helpful. Perhaps it was just the IMS bearing seal that was replaced? Some also recommend that the seal actually be removed for splash lubrication of the IMS bearing.
Hi. When was clutch and IMS bearing work done? Thank you.
@Bagger76 I don’t but can obtain one shortly.
Beautiful car. Is there a DME report available? Thank you.
