5/28/18 UPDATE: And she’s gone.
This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (VIN WP0AA29903S623979) has a claimed 44,051 miles and is finished in Lapis Blue Metallic. The seller states, “One Owner, Clean Carfax, Manual Coupe with Navigation” Find this one offered here on Craigslist in Puyallup, Washington for $32,999.
Craigslist ad here in case someone takes advantage of this offering before you read this.
The Carrera 4S or C4S for short, was first introduced in 1994 in the US market. Porsche took a bunch of unsold 964 3.6L Turbo chassis assemblies and created the 964 Carrera Turbo-look. They then did the same thing with the 993 to create the Carrera 4S Coupe. Rinse and repeat, and here we are with the 996 version. The Lapis Blue Metallic seen here isn’t seen often with the 996, particularly when it comes to C4S’s. In short, it looks fantastic.
For the 996 version, Porsche added a full width rear reflector and removed the side air intakes. Essentially, the C4S is a Turbo without the Turbocharged “Mezger” engine and side air intakes. Stainless Steel exhaust tips appear to be the only cosmetic option on this car.
This C4S is sporting it’s “Big Red” calipers with stock 18″ BBS Turbo wheels. No word on age/condition of the rubber.
The C4S’s came with the same naturally aspirated 3.6L flat-six that was good for 320HP that was found in every other base (996.2) Carrera.
Despite its amazing color, this C4S is actually pretty lightly optioned. The interior is finished in Graphite Grey Full Supple Leather (nice option) and looks as though the stock Bose High End Stereo was swapped with an aftermarket navigation unit.
Are you on the Caviar taste, tuna budget? Get Turbo looks, without Turbo dollars. The Lapis Blue is not often seen and its a 6-speed!!! Ask for a Carfax/Autocheck and don’t forget that PPI! After your purchase, make the first stop you indy mechanic to take care of the IMS/RMS and make this C4S your #firstflatsix!
