2009 PORSCHE 911 (997.2) CARRERA S - MANUAL

KEY FACTS

• An engaging contemporary sports car with an appealing specification and in great condition.
• Under the engine lid is the naturally aspirated 3.8-litre DFI flat-six, which produces 380bhp, driving the rear wheels through a slick six-speed manual transmission.
• Comprehensive service history including main dealers and independent specialists, with fastidious annual maintenance over the last six years.
• The seller acquired the car in February 2017, and it had just two previous keepers before this.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in Meteor Grey, this 997.2 has a full black leather interior. It rides on 19-inch Carrera S alloy wheels in dark grey, which are accented by red brake callipers.
• The factory specification includes heated seats, a sliding sunroof, Chrono pack, sports exhaust, and PCM touch-screen media system with sat-nav and Bose surround sound.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• Its Meteor Grey paintwork is in generally excellent condition, with some minor scuffs and stone chips on the front bumper, which are clearly shown in the gallery. The seller believes that the rear bumper was possibly resprayed prior to their ownership, but has no paperwork to confirm that.
• The black leather upholstery is in great shape, with no heavy wear or damage, and only showing modest signs of use commensurate with the relatively low mileage. There are some minor marks to the secondary trim, but nothing that detracts from the overall impressive appearance.
• There are no electrical faults, with all of the switchgear, screens, and dials working correctly.
• The most recent MOT test was on 7 April 2021 at 63,724 miles, which resulted in a clean pass after a minor fault with the side repeaters was fixed. The online MOT history shows a near-perfect record, which is another good indicator of a well-maintained car.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its last scheduled maintenance was in April 2021 at 63,724 miles, with an oil and filter change carried out by specialist RGA Porsche.
• Regardless of the mileage, it has been serviced annually over the last six years, with the last four visits at the same independent Porsche specialist.
• During the seller’s ownership, the drive belt tensioner and water pump have also been replaced, along with the rear shock absorbers, and the front brake discs and pads.

SUMMARY

This Porsche 997.2 Carrera S is a great ‘purist’ 911 with its rear-wheel drive layout and engaging manual transmission. The later DFI engine 997s are particularly sought after given their reputation for reliability, and this car is well-specified in a demure colour scheme and with desirable comfort and convenience features. Delivering a gloriously analogue driving experience with all the typical practicality and refinement of a modern 911 Carrera, this could make a fantastic daily driver or an exciting weekend toy.
