2008 Porsche 911 4s (Midnight Blue/Stone Grey, Center Exhaust, HRE P40SC)

2008 Porsche 911 4s Description

I am trying to line up a 991 purchase so I am putting up my beloved 997 up for sale. This car has been a pleasure to own and drive, so much so that I havent been able to keep the miles off. These are every day sports cars with blistering performance that like to be driven. This one has seen a lot of exercise to keep it healthy. And it has never let me down. Title in hand and ready to get transferred to the next owner.
Lots of upgrades were added over my 4 years of ownership to make this car as sharp as possible while retaining the usability and prowess 911's have become famous for.
Upgrades:

• OEM 997 Short Shift kit
• OEM 997 GT3 RS Rear Bumper
• OEM 997 Turbo wing with top blade delete (original wing available)
• OEM 997 Brake Light delete panel (with use of the Turbo wing brake light)
• OEM lighted "Carrera 4s" door sills
• OEM clear side markers
• OEM Spare tire kit and tools in the trunk
• OEM 997 Turbo shifter knob
• OEM Factory painted dashboard trim, door handles, door pull and shifter trim
• Heated seats
• Numeric aluminum shifter cables
• HRE P40SC - 19' with Michelin PS2 in stock sizes (2,000 miles on this package)
• BBS 18' winter wheels and Michelin Alpin tires (spacers included with sale)
• Titanium lug bolts
• Speedtech center exit exhaust with 200 cell cats with matte carbon fiber tips (original exhaust parts available as well)
• Polyurethane front lip
• Extended leather door sills, center console, coin tray, and shifter trim
• Denison bluetooth streaming and phone connectivity

Maintenance History:

The car runs very strong with no overheating or idle hiccups or leaks of any sort.
Mechanically, the car needs nothing and has been maintained with an open checkbook. Any service and repair work was done as needed but other than the shifter cables (common 997 problem), the water pump (replaced as the pulley was looking tired), and the door locks (mechanism wouldnt lower the windows on one side but we decided to change both in case the other was going to go as well), the car has just needed regular oil and filter changes. The only thing I havent tracked down is that the PCM will flicker or shut off for 10 mins or so about 2-3 times a year. As it comes back on pretty quickly, it hasnt bothered me too much. Otherwise, I am pretty obsessive about my cars so this 997 has received constant attention. Rear brakes are at around 15% so thats the next maintenance item.
Cosmetically, the car is as close to perfect as you will find for a 997. The interior buttons and switches all work as they should with no visible discoloration common with this vintage. The windshield took a pebble that created a little nick in the glass 3 years ago. That pebble also left a little scratch on the front roof but its not very noticeable. Otherwise, the car has gotten regular details and washes and the paint shines very well. No other scratches or blemishes to note.
Price wise, my "Buy it Now" price was derived as follows: I received an offer of $41k from Porsche without all the upgrades. If I took all the high cost parts off, I could easily clear $7k from the wheels, exhaust, and bumper. However, the car is set up very well and I cant get myself to take it apart. Hence the $48k price. I feel this is reasonable for a car that will likely hold its value very well from here on out due to the shift to Turbocharged engines and the predominance of PDK (85% of Porsche sales are PDK at this point).
