AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Body / Paintwork:

This beautiful Porsche 911 model 997 S 3.8 Carrera from 2005 is in very neat condition. The car is finished in an attractive color scheme of dark blue metallic with a black interior. The Porsche is equipped with stylish turbo wheels. The body and paintwork are in good condition.

Technical:

The car features a powerful 3.8L engine and an automatic transmission. It drives, shifts, and brakes excellently, with everything functioning as it should. The rear-wheel drive provides a genuine driver's car.
With 204,838 km on the clock, a recently revised bottom end (including photo report), this Porsche is technically in an exceptional state.
During the revision, the crankcases were fitted with steel cylinder liners, which effectively resolved the well-known bore scoring issue on this type of engine. Additionally, the crankshaft, connecting rod, and IMS bearing have demonstrably been replaced (January 2026), significantly boosting engine reliability.

The car is also equipped with Xenon lighting.

Interior:

The interior of the Porsche is finished in black leather, which provides a sleek and timeless look. The whole is finished with great attention to detail, with a nice leather dashboard and an Alcantara headlining that give the interior a high-quality feel. The result is a comfortable and stylish cabin that suits the car's character perfectly.

The car is equipped with electrically adjustable seats with memory function, seat heating, climate control, cruise control, and a modern Pioneer CarPlay system for optimal connectivity and ease of use. Furthermore, the car has a sunroof.

Documents:

The original onboard folder with instruction and maintenance books is present, as well as the conformity certificate. The car has a fully Belgian license plate.

Other information:

It is advisable to view the vehicle first before bidding to avoid disappointment later. For an appointment you can contact Catawiki.

Transport is not a problem; ask about the possibilities.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
