Key information and history
Porsche 911 of the 997 generation marks a clear refinement of the 911 concept, returning to the classic round headlamps, with improved perceived quality and a chassis balance appreciated by drivers who prioritise precision. In Carrera 4 guise the model gains the wider body, the continuous rear reflector panel and all-wheel drive with a viscous coupling, providing stability and grip under higher loads without compromising steering feel.
This example is a 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (997) imported from Germany. The odometer shows 144,000 kilometres and the seller states that the mileage can be guaranteed. The service book is stamped in line with the manufacturer’s intervals, and two full binders of receipts and documentation are included, giving a clear picture of maintenance and remedial work over time.

Vad gäller för din 2008-modell?
Motortyp & Serie: M96.05 (3,6 L) och M97.01 (3,8 L) med vissa serienummer har den större och kraftigare lagertypen. Det tillverkas uppgraderingskit för detta lager men de kräver demontering och renovering av motorn.

Tidiga 2008-modeller: Vissa bilar tillverkade under första halvan av 2008 kan fortfarande använda det enkla och utbytbara lagret. För att veta säkert måste motorns serienummer kontrolleras.
IMS Retrofit
Miltal och risk: Det är mycket ovanligt att det större 2008-lagret går sönder, men eftersom det är en tätad konstruktion som är beroende av fabrikens smörjning är det klokt att vara uppmärksam.
