History

Originally purchased in West Virginia and later making its way to the second owner in the Chicago area. The 2nd owner unfortunately had the car stolen from him in 2004 but was covered by his insurance. After the car was recovered in 2005 it was resold, but with a rebuilt title according to Illinois regulations. The next owner lived in Indiana, and upon inspection was given a clean and clear Indiana title for the car, which is how it now being sold.

Condition

The car retains all of its original body panels and most of its original paint, aside from what appears to be a small section spotted in on the driver’s rear quarter panel. Clearly garage kept, the car is very clean across the exterior and underside. The paint is in good condition but could use a thorough polishing. The only blemishes are minor chips and scuffs on either bumper, a tiny spot of rust around the lower edge of the rear window, a mismatching driver’s rear taillight, and loose trim along the driver’s side. Overall condition of the car is better than average considering the mileage.

Inward, the leather seats are in great condition along with the dash, console, door panels, and carpets. Again, considering the mileage and age, the interior shows little wear but is in need of a thorough detail.

Options

Features include the usual items like power windows & locks, cruise control, and A/C. Additional features include the 8 way power comfort front seats sunroof, and an Ipad based stereo system. Below you’ll see the data tag decoded;

Mechanicals

This bone stock Carrera 4 is powered by the air cooled 3.6 liter engine which produces 247 horsepower and 228 lbs of torque. Backing the motor is a 5 speed manual gearbox and Porsche's venerable all-wheel drive system.

A few receipts from the last owner covers the newly installed clutch. And although the car drives great currently, the ABS light is on and we are recommending that the car be looked over before any long distance drives. As to be expected too, the valve covers leak slightly but the car is largely dry underneath. The car does start quickly and drives well. Once underway, power is abundant and shifts are crisp, while the brakes and suspension work as built.

Purchase

The car is available for inspection by appointment, and is located just 20 minutes north of Chicago and also from O'Hare airport. The car is for sale locally and this auction can be canceled at any time due to local purchase. Pre-purchase inspections can be completed at perspective buyer’s expense, and only when a deal has been firmed up.

Overall, this car is nothing more than a high quality driver.
