FS: 2003 996 Carrera 4S w/69K miles (Auto/TIP)- $32,000 FIRM The car:
Well, it is in great condition, and currently has about 69k miles on the meter, with no real issues whatsoever since I bought it. The car is seal gray metallic in color, with black leather interior and a black alcantara leather headliner. It had new wheels & tires installed in the beginning of July.
Last November, the ignition switch was replaced, and in July, the rear brake light switch was replaced and a full service was completed. I have always used Mobil 1 full synthetic. It drives like a dream (I know everyone says this, but it really does drive very smooth), especially in the "wonderful" traffic of Southern California.
I live (the car as well) in Tulsa now, so the traffic is MUCH better than Southern CA, but still NO complaints.
The alcantara leather headliner is pristine, as are the leather front and rear seats (if you can even call those little things seats
) and steering wheel. The stereo is the optional BOSE system, with single CD inside and 6-CD changer in the boot. The a/c and heat both work well, as do the front and rear defrosters, and there are no issues with the control panels or missing buttons. All front and rear floor mats are present **(got brand new WeatherTech fitted mats in July), the glove box and console both work perfectly and lock with no issues, and the ashtray opens and closes as it should with no trouble (and is still internally lit).
I know a lot of this is mundane general info, but it saves me from answering it later. The car has EVERY option available that year, minus the Navigation, but you can get aftermarket systems installed for <$1k easily.
**Something of note: I spend 3 months in Iraq, and maybe 3.5 weeks driving it, then repeat that cycle all year, so the tires probably only have about 3-4k miles on them, at most, only because I drove it to OK from OC, CA. I got 25 mpg over the 1400 mile trip. Also, the left CAT has begun to rattle very slightly at idle (no other time). I took it in to the Porsche stealership in Tulsa, and nothing was wrong other than the housing and the ceramics of the CAT are making noise haha. I have had offers to send me a CAT for around $400 and I can replace it, but the Dealership said it has NO effect whatsoever on the performance of the car. I am all about full disclosure, so I wanted to put that out there.
**EXTRAS: The car will come with a FULL K&N filter system, still in the box (Brand New) and a Sprint Booster Module that is brand new in the box, AND a custom Porsche car cover.
I am in Iraq at the moment and will be back to the USA/OK on September 16th, but I can complete the sale from here in Iraq if need be. Feel free to email me at ridgessp@yahoo.com or PM me your phone number if you would like to talk on the phone about the car.

i think you're making a mistake bro
a seriously serious mistake
the car sounds and LOOKS awesome and MINT
don't know about US prices but to be honest you are giving it away at that price. i would have gladly sold my cabrio and paid extra for your car
any potential buyer should also know:
never listen to us 996 C2 drivers, the C4S drives more like a TT than a carrera
Raiff, do yourself a favour and keep it man. just my 2 cents. sell the daytona but keep the pcar

Yes, the C4S drives just like a TT because it is the same overall setup, minus the engine. It is mint for the most part, and I do love it. I just need a little more room IMHO, so I am looking at 335i's and M3 coupes & sedans; WAY more truck space. We will see what happens; this is really a feeler anyway.
