Basic Information and History

The Porsche 911 is one of the automotive world’s most iconic models – a sports car as timeless as it is desirable. This particular car is a Swedish-sold 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Tiptronic, equipped with the updated 996.2 drivetrain featuring 320 horsepower and a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, combined with all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox with paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

The odometer currently reads 145,690 km, verified by a complete service book and full documentation. The car remains unmodified, with all original parts and equipment intact. The IMS bearing – perhaps the most discussed issue of this generation – has been replaced by Levin Racing, a well-respected name in the Porsche community.

Equipment and Options

This car is well-equipped with a range of sought-after factory options and comfort features:

1. Tiptronic automatic transmission with steering wheel paddles
2. All-wheel drive (Carrera 4)
3. Full leather interior, including dashboard
4. Turbo-style steering wheel
5. Electrically adjustable seats with three memory settings
6. Heated seats
7. Electric mirror package
8. Xenon headlights
9. Automatic climate control (ACC)
10. Rear parking sensors
11. Cruise control

This example offers a fine balance between sports car performance and everyday comfort.

Condition

The bodywork is in excellent condition with no dents, scratches, or rust. No panels have been repainted, and the paint is believed to be original. All glass surfaces are free from stone chips or discoloration, and chrome details, trims, emblems, and light lenses are in good condition with only age-appropriate patina.

One wheel has a nearly invisible scuff, clearly shown in the photos.

The interior shows beautiful patina with a “magical” leather color that makes the car stand out even among enthusiasts. The seats are free from damage, while the door sills and panels show normal wear for a 21-year-old car – nothing that requires attention. The steering wheel, controls, and buttons show some signs of use but are overall in very good condition.

Headliner and dashboard are flawless, and all electronics work perfectly – from the climate control to interior lighting.

Service History

The car comes with a complete service book and extensive documentation.

1. IMS bearing replaced by Levin Racing – a significant upgrade for long-term reliability
2. Handbrake replaced in 2020 in connection with a change of ownership
3. Regularly serviced and winter-stored in a warm, dry garage during off-season periods

Summary

An analog driving experience from a time when sports cars still had soul – but with comfort and safety for modern use. This 996.2 Carrera 4 is the perfect gateway into the Porsche world: all-wheel drive for Nordic roads, a strong and proven engine, paddle-shifted automatic transmission, and a price point still below that of newer 911 generations.

This is a car that hasn’t just been preserved – it’s been cared for. A vehicle offering everything from inspiring weekend drives to comfortable long-distance cruising. And above all: a sports car that still has the potential to appreciate in value.
