The Appeal
Turbo looks, planted AWD technology, 320bhp 3.6L flat six and versatile Tiptronic S 5spd gearbox. All good reasons to want this 2004 Carrera 4S. But there are a few more: it is a coveted Japanese-market car - which means salt-free roads - and has covered just 9,700km from new in the hands of two keepers.
Finished in classic Arctic Silver with black leather and Alcantara interior, this is a highly presented car that looks barely altered from the day it left the showroom 21 years ago. It is factory standard, right down to the ‘Turbo Twist’ five spoke alloys and Porsche sound system, and comes to market with recent service in 2024.
A current technical inspection valid to October 2025 underlines the sense of a well preserved and well sorted 996.
