Cared for by two prior owners, this 2008 Porsche 997 Carrera S Cabriolet was sold new in Bellevue, Washington at an original sticker price of over $108k. It comes finished in GT Silver Metallic over a Cocoa Natural Leather interior and features a 6-speed manual transmission, optional Porsche crested headrests, a painted center console, and 19” Carrera Classic wheels. It was fully serviced and sold to its second owner through the original selling Porsche dealership in 2015 and is now being offered for auction by its seller out of California with approximately 50k miles showing on the odometer.
This 997 comes finished in GT Silver Metallic with a black cabriolet roof and rides on optional 19” Carrera Classic wheels. The front bumper cover is said to have been previously refinished to address a scuff and the wheels come dressed in a set of Michelin tires from 2018. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a CARFAX report showing minor rear-end damage in 2018.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Coco Natural Leather upholstery including an exclusive rear center console in GT Silver Metallic and Porsche-crested headrests. Other options include self-dimming mirrors, heated front seats, a leather Sport steering wheel, and the Power Seat Package.
The rear wheels are driven by a 6-speed manual transmission paired with a 3.8L flat-six engine rated at 355 HP. A new battery was installed in 2020 along with a coolant service, and an oil service was completed by Porsche Bellevue in 2018.
This sale will include a clean title, owner’s manuals, the original window sticker, and a file of service records from the second owner.

Please ask questions early. I have two auctions ending within minutes today and want to be as available as possible to both. Thank you!
@Craftsmen photo of “damage”, which was just a scuff to the rear bumper side. Because it went through the insurance of the other party, it was reported to Carfax. The rest of the car is perfectly original. The color discrepancy you see is just in the photos. Look at other photos of that side and you’ll see the color matches and is original. I don’t alter photos at all and show numerous angles of the same area for good reason.
@PCARMARKET Understood ?
@sbcarguy you cannot talk price/reserve with the seller. Please follow our protocols to be fair to all parties. Thank you.
Where's the paint meter readings?
Something going on with color match on left door. Any details on right rear collision damage in the carfax?
$40k doesn’t get it done either.

@sbcarguy Good luck!
@Stretch01
We shall see.....
@sbccarguy - I would agree if that was the final bid, but it won’t be by a long shot.
@ $15,500... I could care less what it is :)
Wow. Pretty huge error on the listing title. why has PcarMarket not fixed the mistake?
A C2S is a significantly different car to a C4S. I hope the winning bidder knows what they are bidding on.
@Stretch01 I just noticed that myself. It’s a C2S.
The badge on the back says S but heading on the listing is 4S - which is it?

Was the last oil change performed in 2018? Can detail maintenance records be provided? Where can I locate the carfax report? Curious to know if all the schedule maintenance was performed. How old are the tires, brakes, clutch? What is original and what has been replaced. Thanks.
@TheGlennster yes, perfectly original
Great looking C4S! The top looks to be in extraordinary condition, is it the original?
The 2008 Porsche Carrera S Cabriolet offered here has been enjoyed by only two previous owners. Originally purchased in Bellevue, Washington, the car was meticulously cared for and enjoyed for a little over 21,000 miles until early 2015, when it changed hands through the Bellevue Porsche dealer to its second owner. The car was fully serviced by the dealer at that time. The second owner, equally as meticulous, enjoyed the car for the next 7 years, wracking up a few miles to its now indicated 50,600. The photography session may well have been the first time the ashtray was opened!
Exquisitely presented, the car is in truly exceptional condition throughout. The exterior GT Silver Metallic paint is immaculate and totally original, apart from the bumper cover from a scuff by another motorist. 19? Carrera Classic wheels are totally scuff-free and shod with excellent Michelin tires. The Cocoa Natural Leather interior is near-perfect, considering age and mileage. The car features the power seat package, heated front seats, leather sports steering wheel, Bose stereo system, floor mats to match interior color, plus the Porsche windstop, the center console to match the exterior and Porsche crests in the headrests. The car starts easily and runs perfectly. It shifts effortlessly through the 6-speed manual gearbox, with excellent clutch action. Brakes, suspension and all electrical systems work perfectly. The soft top works as it should and the AC blows cold. The sale of the car is accompanied by a full set of books, two keys and a file of service records from the second owner.
Thank you to Gregory, Dean and all at PCarMarket.
