Gorgeous Basalt Black Finish
Finished in its original Basalt Black Metallic (Z4), this 2003 C4S appears to be in pristine condition and is clearly the beneficiary of meticulous upkeep. There is no history of paint or bodywork, nor is there any rust present on the car. Clear lighting covers can be seen front and back including the full-width rear heckblende reflector that was unique to the 996.2 C4S. A small dent on the rear fender, adjacent to the tail lamp, can be seen in the gallery. Per the seller, this has not been fixed because it requires painting and he preferred to keep it original.
An extensive gallery details the condition of this 911 from every angle, displaying straight panels and a deep, reflective finish. Window tint is the only modification to the car and was dealer applied. The original 18” Turbo Twist alloys are fitted all around with minor road rash seen on the rear set. Pirelli P Zero tires, replaced in summer 2020, are sized 225/40 up front and 295/30 out back. They frame cross-drilled rotors and red painted calipers with white PORSCHE lettering, the same setup found on 996 Turbo models. Optional equipment fitted from the factory includes Bi-Xenon headlamps and colored Porsche crests on the wheel center caps.
Leather Lined Luxury
The Black full leather upholstery that covers seats, door panel uppers and stitched dashboard shows very well with minor bolster wear on both front seats. As with the exterior, the cabin appears to be in overall very clean condition from the tight headliner to door frames and dash fascia. The original 3-spoke, leather-wrapped steering wheel features a Porsche crest. It frames an analog instrument panel with a 300 km/h speedometer and inset digital readout as well as an 8,000-rpm tachometer with inset digital system screen and odometer. There are also gauges for battery voltage, engine coolant temperature, fuel level and oil pressure.
Along with a sunroof and automatic temperature control, the optional Carbon Package fitted to this C4S adds carbon fiber trim to the instrument panel surround, dashboard fascia and center console. Additional factory options include carbon fiber and aluminum trim on the shift knob and parking brake, Bose High End stereo, black floor mats with Porsche lettering and seats that have been lowered 10 mm with lumbar support and Porsche headrest crests.
The seller notes that he has removed the fuse for the driver’s seat memory settings. The seat works properly; however, it will revert to a prior owner’s memory setting any time the doors are unlocked. By removing the fuse, the memory system is disabled allowing him to maintain his preferred seating position. The issue appears to be tied to the key fob and has not been addressed as the seller is the sole driver of this 911 and so, does not use the memory settings.
Four Wheeled Power
Following suit with the rest the car, the engine bay that houses the original 3.6L M96 flat-six is very clean. When new, it produced 320 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque that pairs with a six-speed manual transmission to power all four wheels via viscous clutch. All service, since the vehicle was new, has been performed at Porsche dealerships & specialists with OEM parts. Along with a new clutch and rear main seal, the IMS bearing was replaced under current ownership at Rombotis Tuning with OEM parts. The original part has been mounted with a plaque indicating it was replaced at 140,164 kilometers.
Extensive service records back to 2006 are included in the sale. Per the seller, Porsche has all records but cannot provide them to a new owner. However, the first owner has confirmed with the seller that every service from 2003 to 2015 was performed at Porsche Lauzon in Montreal. The most recent work, consisting of an oil change, alignment, and new tires all around, was completed about 3,000 kilometers ago in summer 2020.
Modern Classic
Located in Montreal, Quebec, this 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S has been in the care of its current owner for 5 years during which 15,140 of the total 148,140 kilometers have been added. It was purchased new at Porsche Lauzon in Montreal by the first owner who drove it for 12 years until selling it back to the same dealership to buy another 911.
The second owner purchased it through Porsche’s Certified Pre-Owned program in 2015 until selling it in 2017 after adding 8,000 kilometers. The seller, and third owner, then purchased it and has continued to maintain the car with factory parts and the pride of ownership Porsche enthusiasts are known for. A variety of brochures, manuals, tools, period magazines with 996 C4S articles and original accessories like the glove used to change the spare tire are included in the sale. There is also a framed Porsche Certificate of Authenticity included.
