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.

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
Sunday Drive: An automotive flavor for every taste
Sun, Feb 25 2018Last week was flush with interesting new vehicle debuts, led by the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. This crossover is entering straight into the heart of one of the world's most competitive automotive segments, and it's doing so with a fresh sense of style and a brace of new technologies. Our readers are clearly intrigued – the Santa Fe was the biggest news story of the last week on these online pages. It's fitting that a crossover generated a lot more interest than a traditional wagon, though we don't really have to be happy about it. Still, the completely new, fully redesigned Volvo V60 is worth taking another look at. First of all, it's pretty, in a traditionally Scandinavian way. Second, it's quick, with a 0-60 time of as little as 4.8 seconds. And finally, it's practical, with all kinds of room for cargo without the dynamic penalties of an unnecessary lift kit. Moving on from new vehicle debuts, we took another long look at the Honda Ridgeline. It's definitely a non-conformist pickup truck, based not on a body-on-frame platform but on a more carlike unibody design. That means it can't tow as much as some other trucks, but it also means the Ridgeline drives better than any of its more truckish competitors. It's the Swiss army knife of pickup trucks. Rounding out our coverage from last week are three sets of spy photos, each showing the interior of a hotly anticipated new model. One is a truck, one is a crossover, and the last is a sportscar. All of them are worth another look. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the most important news in the automotive world. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe unveiled 2019 Volvo V60 | Sleek, swift new twist on the Swedish wagon 2018 Honda Ridgeline | Pocketknife pickup is up for anything 2019 GMC Sierra interior looks just like the Silverado's 2019 Cadillac XT4 interior has actual buttons, no more touch-sensitive panel 2020 Porsche 911 992 spy shots show interior and manual transmission Cadillac GMC Honda Hyundai Porsche Volvo Truck Crossover Wagon Luxury Performance Sedan hyundai santa fe
Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
