Porsche 996 Mk2 Carrera 4, 2002.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vehicle Overview
We are offering at auction an excellent specimen of the Porsche 911 (996.2) Carrera 4, the coveted MK2 Restyling version. This model represents the definitive evolutionary step of the 996 generation: it introduces important structural and mechanical improvements over the first series, including increased displacement to 3.6 liters (with Variocam Plus system for better delivery and reliability), a stiffened chassis, updated interiors and redesigned front headlights (inherited from the Turbo), which erase the MK1’s egg-shaped line.
The combination of permanent all-wheel drive (Carrera 4) and the Tiptronic automatic/sequential transmission offers precise, secure, and versatile handling, making this Youngtimer perfect for both collection and daily driving use.
Technical Data
Model: Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4 – 996.2 Restyling Version (3.6L)
Mileage: 173,000 km certified
Transmission: Automatic / Tiptronic sequential with steering-wheel controls
Drive: Permanent all-wheel drive
Condition: Excellent general mechanical and cosmetic condition
Certified Maintenance & Documentation
The car is presented with a transparent and verifiable maintenance history. The official service book confirms regular service at the official Porsche network (including Porsche Zentrum Zürich):
43,212 km
58,920 km
85,040 km
100,175 km
121,555 km
Recent Interventions & Mechanical Improvements (Invoiced)
The mechanical and suspension have undergone a recent, thorough restoration package to ensure optimal driving efficiency and comfort. As documented by the specialist invoice, a major intervention with a total value of €3,294 was carried out, in addition to routine maintenance work just completed:
Full service just performed:
Oil change and all filters replaced to ensure the new owner a ready-to-use car.
Front wheel bearing replacement: targeted replacement of the left front wheel bearing and related hub (intervention of about €800) performed to root out a slight rolling noise and restore perfect quiet on the move.
Braking system fully renewed: replacement of front and rear brake discs, brake pads (front and rear), wear sensors and caliper seal kits, completed with bleeding and replacement of brake fluid.
Suspension and transmission: replacement of front differential oil. Geometric alignment and toe set on a frame bench for impeccable steering precision.
Onboard electronics:
Replacement of the complete steering column switch module and restoration of Tiptronic steering wheel controls.
Details: replacement of engine bay pumps, professional polishing of the front headlights.
Exhaust: replacement of the final exhaust silencers (€3,000 intervention) which provides the classic Porsche tone without compromising long-distance comfort.
Tires: new tires just mounted on BBS wheels properly homologated and registered in the logbook.
Infotainment & Audio Options (Flexibility for the buyer).
The unit has been replaced with a modern multimedia system featuring Apple CarPlay (not Porsche original), perfect for daily use, navigation, and music streaming.
To ensure maximum originality and meet collectors’ preferences:
The original Porsche radio (with vintage display) is provided with the car.
According to the final buyer’s wishes, there is full availability to reinstall the original radio before delivery.
Hard Top Option (Extra on request)
For the auction winner, there is the option to purchase separately an original Porsche hard top, freshly repainted to showroom condition, at a fixed optional price of €800.
A highly sought-after add-on, ideal for preserving the convertible top and giving the car a perfect coupe line during winter months.
The car is available for any technical inspection. It is in excellent condition and ready for ownership transfer or international export.
Maintenance and Care:
This Porsche 911 has been treated with the utmost care. It is also worth noting that the car comes from a non-smoking family, ensuring a fresh interior environment free of unpleasant odors.
Immediate Delivery:
The car has been fully serviced and checked to guarantee optimal performance and safe driving. It has just passed the Swiss inspection (very strict and fiscal). It is ready to be delivered to a new owner who will appreciate its beauty, power, and exclusivity! Sold private-to-private and, given its age, no defects are excluded, and no guarantees are provided for potential latent defects.
The car has always been stored in a garage and is currently in our heated, video-surveilled warehouse.
Documentation
The car was bought new in Switzerland and currently holds Swiss documents.
The Swiss documents are ready for the new owner.
The car is located in my workshop in Busto Arsizio. Possibility of collection in Switzerland or Italy, whichever is more convenient.
If additional export documents are required, the seller can provide export plates and all necessary export documentation (cost to be borne by the purchaser).

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.
