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 911 celebrates 50 years of iconic motoring
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Back in 1963, Porsche debuted the very first 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And over the last 50 years, that coupe has grown to become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That in mind, you could easily chalk up this 50th Anniversary model as just one of the many special edition 911s that have graced our roads over the years, but dig a bit deeper and you'll see that this one is far more than just some unique paint and different wheels.
For starters, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition utilizes the wider Carrera 4/4S body, but retains its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. Power comes from the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but features a Powerkit upgrade that includes the Sport Chrono package and ups overall output to 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 3.8 seconds if the car is fitted with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK gearbox, or 4.2 seconds if you choose the row-your-own seven-speed manual. Talk about going Over The Hill with a quickness.
Despite looking pretty tame, we're really hot on the appearance of this special 911, with its throwback flat gray paint job and new 20-inch wheels that look remarkably similar to the original Fuchs alloys of the 1963 model. Inside, you'll find green lettering on the instrument displays, white pointer needles and silver accents, and the leather seats have a fabric insert that's similar to the Pepita cloth from the original 911.
Porsche tipped to reveal purist's 911 R in Geneva
Thu, Jan 21 2016Update: The 911 R dam has broken well ahead of its official reveal at Geneva. Stay tuned for full coverage, but take a look at this image from Twitter user @PistonHeads and let us know what you think in the comments below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The original post continues below. With much of the 911 family going turbo, there's room in the lineup for a purist's Porsche: a naturally-aspirated, rear-drive, manual-only model that'll essentially be a stripped-down GT3. The latest reports indicate that this model, initially expected to be called the 911 GT but now more likely to get the 911 R moniker, will be unveiled in Geneva. It's also tipped to wear skinnier tires that will sacrifice grip for a more linear driving experience, and jettison the big wings in favor of a sleeker, more classic profile. What that all boils down to is a GT3 in its essence, and it will likely pack the non-turbo engine from either the GT3 or GT3 RS (pictured above) – or some version thereof. Recall that both the GT3 and the GT3 RS are PDK-only, although Porsche has decided that the next-generation GT3 should give customers the option of shifting for themselves. According to Motoring.com.au, which recently spoke to 911 product line manager August Achleitner, the purist's 911 will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show less than two months from now. "Come to Geneva and you'll find out," said Achleitner "but for now this is all I can talk about." Don't get your hopes up too much, because production is expected to be severely limited, with the entire production run likely to be pre-sold. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover seeks to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, VW SUVs
Fri, Nov 20 2020You wouldn’t know it was about Jags and Lambos, to judge by its rather dry name: In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems. But thatÂ’s the complaint Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc filed on Thursday to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen sport utility vehicles it says are using its patented Terrain Response technology without permission. Jaguar Land Rover, a British carmaker owned by IndiaÂ’s Tata Motors Ltd., said in its filing with the U.S. International Trade Commission that the technology helps negotiate a “broad range of surfaces” and is a key feature in JaguarÂ’s F-Pace and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. “JLR seeks to protect itself and its United States operations from companies that have injected infringing products into the U.S. market that incorporate, without any license from JLR, technology developed by JLR and protected by its patent,” JaguarÂ’s lawyer, Matthew Moore, said in the filing. Representatives of Volkswagen didnÂ’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the complaint. Jaguar wants to block imports of PorscheÂ’s Cayenne; LamborghiniÂ’s Urus; AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad and e-tron vehicles; and VWÂ’s Tiguan vehicles. It said there are plenty of other luxury midsize SUV and compact crossover vehicles to meet consumer demand if the SUVs are banned from the U.S. Still, the premium Porsche and Audi lines provide much of the profit VW is using to fund its investments in technology for electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles and further innovations. In addition to the four brands, Volkswagen Group owns other upscale nameplates, including Bentley and Bugatti. The International Trade Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial agency that investigates complaints of unfair trade practices, like patent infringement. It canÂ’t award damages but does have the power to block products from entering the U.S. Owners of patents and trade secrets like it because it can work faster than the federal district courts -- the typical investigation is completed in 15 to 18 months. But Jaguar also filed patent lawsuits against the companies in federal courts in Delaware and New Jersey, seeking cash compensation for the use of the technology. Those cases are likely to be put on hold once the trade commission launches its investigation. The case is In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems, 337-3508, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington).
