Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior, this 1997 Porsche 993 Carrera 4S Coupe was acquired by the seller from the original owner’s family in 2021. It was sold new from Jim Ellis Porsche of Atlanta, Georgia, and is equipped with a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, a 6-speed manual transaxle, optional Litronic xenon headlights, power-adjustable front seats, storage compartments in place of the rear seats, aluminum instrument dials, carbon fiber and aluminum shifter and handbrake trim, the Hi-Fi Sound Package, stainless-steel exhaust pipes, and upgraded Bilstein coilovers. Showing just over 42k miles on the odometer, this Carrera 4S is now being offered for auction out of Tennessee. Click here to view the previous PCARMARKET listing.
Compared to a standard 993 Carrera, the 4S variant features wide fenders, rockers, and bumpers from the contemporary 911 Turbo model. This example is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and rides on factory 18” Turbo-look wheels. Other equipment includes optional Litronic xenon headlights, headlamp washers, integrated fog lights, an electric sunroof, a speed-activated rear spoiler, optional stainless-steel dual exhaust tips, and red Porsche-branded brake calipers. The CARFAX report shows minor damage to the rear end in 1997. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The Black leather interior features optional power-adjustable seats, storage compartments in place of the rear seats, aluminum instrument dials, and carbon fiber and aluminum trim for the shifter and handbrake. Other accessories include a four-spoke leather steering wheel, power windows, a central locking system, automatic climate control, cruise control, the optional Hi-Fi Sound Package, and a Becker Porsche cassette radio.
Featuring a VarioRam resonant induction system, the air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine was factory-rated at 282 HP. All four wheels are driven through a 6-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Performance features include Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), multi-link LSA rear suspension, fixed 4-piston brakes with cross-drilled discs, and upgraded Bilstein coilovers. The CARFAX report shows that two tires were replaced by Porsche of Nashville in 2022, along with the drive belts and windshield wipers.
This sale will include a clean title.

@Classic_chris111 Please help me understand whether we’re talking about damage to the rear-end as described by CarFax, or is it damage to the front-end (collision? w a “deer”) as we read in the description.
So the "previous owner met face with deer” which is reported by CarFax as damage to rear end??
"09/08/1997
Accident reported:
minor damage with another motor vehicle” [not deer]
Yet the rear-end section of the damage-chart is highlighted in blue.
I’m confused. Please explain. Thank you kindly.
@mfacks @Classic_chris111 ...sorry....found the explanation of the damage/repair, in the previous listing

@Classic_chris111 Thank You, Chris....I was referring to detailed images of the "previous" damage, which were to be included in the gallery, as described in the intro.
Good Morning everyone! My name is Chris and I will be representing this beautiful 1997 Porsche 993 Carrera 4s. I am just getting the hang of the auction space so bear with me as I collect answers for your requests. Let me know how I can help and happy bidding!
@mfacks There is no damage to the vehicle there was an accident listed on the carfax where previous owner met face with deer. There is no PPF on the vehicle and that is actually a smudge of some kind I just checked and will upload a photo for your review.
@Blairwarlock There are service records dating back to 1997 noting routine maintenance, tires and aftermarket suspension upgrades.
Silver on black manual 4S? Wow.
I am not seeing the detailed images of the damage, in the gallery. Is there any PPF on the front end? Is that a full thickness scratch in the paint on the right rear bumper? Thank You in advance
Are there any service records?
