Description
My Porsche 996 c4s Manual.
New MOT today 21/ 12/ 23 with no advisories.
Only selling due to lack of use, but i do take it for a good spin occasionally.
I have only covered just over 3000 miles in my ownership ( 1 year 8 months) and it, s a waste. It needs to be used and enjoyed far more.
While searching for a 996 i drove other 996, s some with far less mileage, but this one drove the best.
It drives absolutely perfectly, no knocks, no crunchy gearbox, no rattles, no smoke, no warning lights.
The car is advertised at a bargain price. The cheapest genuine C4S in the country.
This is my own private car registered in my name and home address, hence a private sale.
The car is in beautiful condition except for one fault i will mention below (last picture).
A very late car registered on the 09/ 12/ 2004.
Arctic silver with metropole blue interior.
Two keys.
Bridgestone Potenza, s all round.
HPI clear, with a full report.
The IMS bearing was changed for the upgraded EPS bearing 5/ 1/ 21 @ 126, 141 miles along with the RMS rear main seal (that is less than 8000 miles and 3 years ago).
New clutch 10/ 11/ 20 @ 117, 074 miles.
5/ 1/ 21 @ 126, 141 miles, new brake pipes front to rear.
I have changed various suspension parts which i have listed below. 996, s have common issues with suspension knocks/ rattles (which mine had), but now they are fixed and the steering feel is now far better and responsive. I previously thought the steering felt good, but only after the repairs did i realise how good it really could be.
Work i have carried out in the last four months (less than 1000 miles) and i do have all the part receipts for the following work,
Power steering rack hard pipes.
Power steering fluid complete flush.
New front lower wishbones, track control arms (coffin arms) and drop links, all suspension parts are Meyle.
All front CV gaiters to both driveshafts.
Oil change Mobil 1.
Mahle oil filter and air filter.
New air conditioning condensors , Porsche supplied "O" rings, air con receiver, re-gas. Air con works great now and is ice cold.
Above parts cost was £695 + £80 for the air con re-gas. Not sure how much a specialist would have charged for the above work, but i imagine at least 2K labour. I have my own well equipped garage/ workshop and i know what i am doing so it was all easy enough.
New Bosch wipers.
New drivers side door lock actuator.
Exhaust flexi joint replaced (by exhaust specialist).
New petrol cap.
New original car mats from Porsche.
Many service receipts from Porsche specialists. Check out the service breakdowns, these are thorough and far beyond your usual "oil and filter change" service.
