2009 Porsche 911 3.8L Carrera S PDK – 997.1
Highlights
- Low mileage: 105,616 km
- Highly sought-after Carrera S spec with 6-speed manual gearbox
- “Black on black” paintwork, particularly popular
- Well-documented servicing up to 104,045 km
- Recent tyres, and the front discs and pads replaced recently
- MOT valid until June 2026
Why it stands out
Enthusiasts are still debating what the “best” water-cooled 911 is, but a consensus is starting to form when it comes to the “sweet spot” for everyday use: the 997 Carrera S. This S version is fitted with the 3.8-litre 355 bhp flat-six, mated to a sharper chassis, more precise steering and uprated braking, delivering an especially successful balance between performance and versatility.
The 997 also marks a return to more traditional 911 styling cues, notably with its oval headlights and a refreshed, more modernised cabin that boosts perceived quality. This first Carrera S combines several highly desirable features: the 6-speed manual gearbox and the “black on black” specification, which still remains a firm favourite with enthusiasts.
The car on offer is in very good overall condition, inside and out, supported by sensible mileage. The service book shows regular maintenance at specialist centres, with the most recent service carried out at 104,045 km—around 1,500 km ago. The front discs and pads were replaced approximately 2,000 km ago, and the front tyres were recently changed for brand-new Bridgestones. The MOT is valid until June 2026.
Properly maintained and correctly equipped, this Carrera S presents itself as a car that’s ready to enjoy and be used.
