Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
The Carrera S more than lives up to the 911 legend, and the 997.2 got rid of the Gen 1 issues.
The evolution of Porsche’s iconic 911 can be measured in its increasing adaptability and demands for the modern driver. The design cues, such as the contoured graceful outline, the classic circular binnacle dials and of course the charismatic rear engine set up are only matched by the precision of detailing and engineering. There are not many cars that could offer such a complete driving experience, successfully combining comfort with handling balance. The Carrera S is often considered as the best all-rounder in the 997 range, in that it offers supercar performance with usability - but the 997 Carrera is no pushover, you’ll definitely have fun trying to master it.
Coming to market after ~1 year and 7 months ownership, this cleanly-presented facelift "Aqua-blue metallic" Carrera S is powered by the new generation of 3.8-litre direct injection flat-six, producing a potent ~386BHP. Fitted with a manual six-speed gearbox, this car has seen an almost yearly servicing schedule and sold with an MOT to August 2023.

Has the car been smokers car ?
Sure NO smokers car
Hi
Has the car had a replacement clutch in it’s time ?
The garage said the previous owner had changed the clutch at about 70,000 miles
Thanks is there any paper work to support that?
I have asked the garage before, and he said that the previous owner did not give him any invoices
The options list published with your paperwork shows option 342 heated seats. Do they work ?
It was my mistake, THIS CAR HAS HEATED SEATS
You mentioned car has no heated seats? Is that correct because I can see buttons for the seat warmers?

Hello,
I just checked the number plate history it is the same car I viewed 18 months ago.
1) A photo of the cross over coolant pipes would be useful, when I viewed the car 18 months ago they were corroded, showing signs of leaking.
2) Can you please answer YES or NO to adding 12 months MOT.
3) When I test drove it, it had a super heavy clutch (I’ve owned 997s previously) sounds like this is still an issue ?
4) It was very heavenly smoked in, (evidenced by smell and stained interior) have both of these now faded .
Thank
I owned this car more than 18 months . maybe you viewed it earlier .I bought this car from a very reputable garage, maybe he has repaired this car very well already. I’m completely unaware of your question
1) I didn’t see the leaking of coolant pipes
2) I’m a private buyer and not a garage, so I didn’t provide an extra 12 months mot
3?This is the third 997 I own and I don’t feel super heavy clutch at all, even more than my bmw m3 Lighter
4) I don’t feel the smell of smoke in the car . I am a non-smoker. If there is a car that smells of smoke, I will not buy it
Hello,
Did you buy the car from Staffordshire (at the time on number plate S11MVV, owned by a chap called Mark) ?
Can you confirm where the tyre repair is, it says sidewall but that is not legal in the uk
Have the front coolant pipes been replaced – if not do you mind adding a photo of them (inside front wheel arch area).
Are you willing to add another 12 months MOT ?
Thanks
Hi the car buy from garage not called Mark, the tyre repair myself no leaking , I replace is both side conditioning condensers
Hi, I have answered my previous questions from the paperwork provided. Thanks.
Hi, What is the cars registration please- so I can do mOT searches. Also what options did the car come with- eg heated seats, sports exhaust etc. Many thanks, Simon.
Hi the car no heated seats and sport exhaust
Hi Chun. Lovely car I have been after a manual gen 2 after selling my 997.1 May I ask was the tyre sidewall repaired after the MOT as this would be a failure as a sidewall repair cannot pass. Where did you buy the 911 from and are there any invoices for the earlier services?
Hi yes repaired after the MOT , this repair myself , I buy from garage, have earlier invoice for MOT
