Previous Audi owner (2008 A6 Le Mans saloon, one of the best cars I have owned) but now have a Porsche 911 997 as my 'second car'.
This is probably a long shot but I am considering selling/trading the 997 in a few months, its currently stored until March. I will then get it out, give it a fresh oil and filter service plus MOT and start looking for a B8 RS4.
I purchased the 997 about a year ago now, it took me 4 months and a 600 mile round trip to find one as good as this. It has low miles (62k), packed full of extras and the all important engine rebuild plus other upgrades (Oil fed IMS) just 3000 miles ago/18 months, all work carried out at Portiacraft who the car came from and has been bought/sold there twice over the years so they know the car.
Below is a list of the main points rather than waffling on, if there is anyone interested in a deal against an RS4 please get in touch. I am not in a rush to get rid of the 997 so even if its in 3-6 months that works for me. I only have the one pic for now but I can send as many as you want when its back on the road in 5 weeks.
- 2005 (54/lower tax)
- 3.8 Carrera S
- 62,700
- Manual
- 4/5 previous owners (need to check but I think it is 4)
- Guards red - Immaculate, I had it detailed last year and will again before sale
- 19" multi spoke wheels
- 4 near new tyres
- FSH - Will come with a fresh service from Porsche specialist
- ** Engine rebuild 3000 miles ago by Portia craft, new cranks and cylinders re-lined, plus a few other odd jobs while engine was out**
- Upgraded oil fed IMS done while engine was rebuilt
- Plenty of extras like Sat-Nav, Sport seats, Chrono plus pack, Bose, Alcantra headlining, head light washers, phone connectivity.
In the last year the coil pack has been changed, new suspension bump stops & new AC condenser plus a couple more jobs (wear and tear items).
Big folder going back years with a details history, receipts, old MOT, old sales receipts and of course a full engine rebuild receipt.
Lovely example of a 997 which is actually increasing in value, as mentioned I am not in a rush to sell so looking for the right deal otherwise I will keep it and buy a cheap-ish estate car to use.
