I am the 2nd owner of this 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 which is also know by the Porsche internal code of 996. The 1999 C4 featured several firsts for the 911. In addition to the water cooled engine the car has Porsche Stability Management (PSM), which is the Porsche version of traction control, and E-gas. With all wheel drive and the PMS this car just grips the road without being tail happy like earlier versions of the car.
I have owned the car for 8 years and over that time I have made a few upgrades that improve the car but keep the stock look. The upgrades include:
LN IMS bearing: this is a must. Do not buy a 911 or Boxster without having this done. Almost all Porsche Techs recommend that this upgrade be done.
Transmission reconditioned: I had my local shop open the transmission and check for wear and had them replace the pinion bearings.
ROW030 suspension: This is a Porsche suspension package that improves handling without being harsh and lowers the car by about 1/2 inch.
Short shifter
Upgraded exhaust: adding a few HP and more pleasing and aggressive exhaust note.
Clear side marker lights, CD holder delete
The wear items on the car are all newer. The clutch was changed 10K miles ago, Porsche rotors are new, the 17" tires (HTZ III) are new. The car also has the better filtering spin on oil filter and adapter and a low temperature thermostat.
Over the time I have owned the car I averaged 4000 miles per year and stored the car during the winter. I am selling the car because a recent move has left me short on garage space.
Also included in the sale are a set of original 18" turbo twist wheels and heated winter storage in the Holland, MI area.
These cars are a blast to drive and surprisingly modern for the age: 0-60 in 5ish seconds and 173 mph top speed, air bags, antilock brakes, traction control, etc.
The car is clean and in good condition. There are a few stone chips on the hood, a small dent near the drivers side marker light, and a few other dings. Overall for the age and mileage the car is clean. The interior is clean, the drivers seat shows a bit of wear but not rips or tears. There is some spotting on the passenger side headlight and a small chip on the windshield. The paint is good but there are a few spots that have crazing. If you were looking at the car you would not think anything of them as they are that small.
I may have missed something, please let me know if you have any questions. I have more pictures and can send them upon request.
If you are the winning high bidder I will allow you time to have the car inspected (PPI) by your preferred shop at your expense and will assist you in facilitating that. If fact, I would encourage you to have a PPI done on any car you are considering. I did. If you were to decide not to buy the car based on the results I will ask you to pay the ebay fee of $125. So $125 is your risk of winning the bid on this car.
In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose my reserve during the auction period.
As they say, Happy Bidding.

Race Recap: 2013 Petit Le Mans draws curtain on the ALMS [spoilers]
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The 16th Petit Le Mans Powered By Mazda, in the final year of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón, was run on Saturday. Even though many of this year's championships had already been decided, the last ALMS race ever would be a 10-hour, 1,000-mile slog around Road Atlanta to get names in the record books and decide a few series trophies.
Since some of you will only get around to your TIVOs (or Fox Sports coverage) today, you should stop reading now if you don't want to know who did what...
Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
Porsche offers design walkthrough of Panamera Sport Turismo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo was arguably the best concept car of 2012, and Porsche has been building upon that momentum by teasing us with videos of its first-ever station wagon design. After showing us some driving shots of the Sport Turismo, Porsche released a more in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at what it took to take the Panamera shooting brake from a full-scale clay model to the final product we saw on stage at the Paris Motor Show. In the video, Michael Mauer, Porsche style director, and Mitja Borkert, general manager advanced design style, both give a little insight about what went into creating the Sport Turismo Concept.
More than just a station wagon version of the Panamera, the Sport Turismo has a totally distinctive look nose to tail. Some of the key elements the designers touch on in the video include the Porsche-signature raised front fenders, the wide rear shoulders, the front wing inspired by the 918 Spyder, and even some of the car's unique touches, including the headlights and the three-dimensional "Porsche" lettering across the liftgate made from glass. One of the more exciting aspects of the concept - which is sadly just glossed over in the video - is the rear liftgate spoiler that features "variable aerodynamics" that sounds like it acts similar to the retractable spoiler on the current Panamera.
We still don't know if the Panamera Sport Turismo will make it into production, but if you want to see what went into creating this exciting concept car and see the different build phases designers went through to create the Paris show car, check out the video by scrolling below.
