2011 Porsche 911 997.2 Carrera 4S Cabriolet Full Leather Interior / Original Paint Painted Back Adaptive Sport Seats Fresh Bilstein PASM Suspension w/New Springs New Michelin Tires & Brakes / $143k MSRP $15k of Recent Services, including PDK 56,500 Miles Macadamia Metallic w/Cocoa Soft Top (LM8W) Sand Beige Full Leather (TG) 7-Speed PDK Transmission Original Paint / Clean Carfax Clean and Clear California Title Original Window Sticker The second-generation Porsche 911/997 (Gen II) received several updates and improvements. These included a new, more powerful engine, thanks to direct injection. The 3.8-liter Carrera 4S got 385 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Also, the prior issues with the IMS bearing were eliminated, as these new motors did not have that bearing design, as well as less potential issues with cylinder bore scoring. This Porsche was built in December of 2010 and sold new on January 31st, 2011, by Champion Porsche of Pompano Beach, Florida. It was ordered with the following factory options: Macadamia Metallic Paint Cabriolet Roof in Coca Sand Beige Full Leather Aluminum Look Interior Package Adaptive Sport Seats Infotainment Package Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) Transmission 19” Carrera Classic Wheels Wheel Centers with Color Crests Sport Chrono Package Plus Extended Navigation Mod-PCM 3.0 Bose Surround Sound System XM Radio PDK 3-Spoke Sport Steering Wheel w/Shift Paddles Exclusive Option: Floor Mats w/Colored Logo & Leather Surround Steering Wheel w/Deviated Stitching Exterior Package in Exterior Color Custom Package PDK & Handbrake Lever Side Skirts Painted in Exterior Color Prep Outer Door Sill Guards, Illuminated Rear Center console in Leather Steering Column Casing in Leather Seat Backrest in Exterior Color Seat Belts in Silver Grey Inner Sill Finished in Leather Logo on Center Console Door Entry Guards in Stainless Steel Illuminated Exclusive Options Deviated Stitching Stitch Front/Rear Seat Deviated Thread Stitching Dashboard in Deviated Thread Stitching Door Trim in Deviated Thread Stitch Side Panel Center Console in Deviated Thread Stitch Rear Side Panel in Deviated Thread The MSRP was $143,255, which is equivalent to approximately $212,088. The first owner purchased and registered the car in Florida, but soon after purchase, he shipped the car to his home in the Los Angeles area. This owner kept this 997.2 for 3 years and 25k miles. During this owner’s care, he serviced it regularly at Beverly Hills Porsche. There are 9 service entries in Carfax showing normal (slightly obsessive) routine services and the correct intervals. This owner then moved the car to Littleton, Colorado, where it was serviced by the local Porsche dealer and shortly thereafter was sold in August of 2014 with 25,800 miles to the next owner from Utah. This owner kept this 911 for a couple more years and added 17k miles. It was serviced regularly at his local Porsche dealership. It was then sold by the Porsche dealer in Orem, Utah, in February 2016, with 41k miles to the next owner from Midvale, Utah. This owner kept the car for a few years and added another 6k miles. It too was serviced at the local Porsche dealer. It was traded in to the Porsche dealer in Littleton, Colorado, who then sold it to the owner of a Subaru dealership in Boise, Idaho, on December 30th, 2019, with 47,500 miles. This owner kept the car for 6 years and added another 6k miles before selling this 911 to the current Los Angeles area enthusiast on August 19th, 2025, with 53,889 miles. The current owner is a long-time Porsche enthusiast whom we’ve helped sell his cars for years. He always has extremely nice examples that are well sorted. For the past year, he’s only added 3k miles as it’s mostly been a car he uses at his Palm Springs vacation home. Just before purchasing, the selling dealer performed a service and inspection. Since his ownership, he’s performed the following services: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires mounted and balanced (2025) New purchase sorting/services at Auto Werkstatt (8/25 @ 53,913 miles) Oil service New wiper blades Replace coolant hose and connection New Bilstein B4 PASM shocks and factory springs New suspension shock mounts and bumps stops Inner and outer front CV boots 4 wheel alignment PDK service including new transmission pan and filter Total service: $12,909 Install Apple CarPlay/Bluetooth Pioneer stereo with backup camera (10/25) Upon receiving this 911, we performed over $2,500 of detailing services, including: Remove wheels, lights, and lenses to prepare for deep detailing Remove old paint protection film and original tired stone guards Steam cleaned back of wheels and wheel wells Steam cleaned underside and engine bay Full body paint correction Treat/condition all rubber seals/trim 2 stage paint polish Ceramic coating Steam clean carpet Condition interior leather The exterior of this C4S is in immaculate condition with minimal signs of use. The paint on all the metal surfaces appears to be original and verified with a paint meter. The Porsche crest hood badge has some finish missing. All the lights are clear with no cracks or hazing, and all the exterior lights work. The glass is all original, including the windshield, and is wearing the proper factory stampings. There are a few chips in the glass from use and one slightly larger one near the rear view mirror, but not noticeable while driving. The convertible canvas top has no tears, with some very light typical wear signs by the rear side window folding areas. The original wheels have a few spots of very light curb rash and are wearing near-new/full tread Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The brakes have over 75% life remaining. The interior is equally as nice and indicative of a well-cared-for example. The front seats have no excessive wear, as well as no tears or other issues. The rear seats look new. Some of the light brown trim near the door tops and the rear seat area has some light wear signs. The soft-top headliner has no sagging issues. The carpet has no stains or heavy wear marks, and the door panels look new. The factory floor mats have some light stains on the driver's side. The dash has no cracks, and all the gauges work properly, along with all power functions, including the convertible top, windows, and mirrors. The A/C blows cold, and the upgraded Apple CarPlay radio works. Plus, it now has a reverse camera that integrates nicely. This 997.2 C4S is a pleasure to drive and feels just as tight as when it was new. The throttle response is excellent, and it pulls hard through the rev range. The brakes have excellent bite with no fading or pulling. The PDK shifts precisely through the gears with no hesitation. The handling feels precise and responsive. The car tracks straight as well. California registration is current to August 2026, and it passes California’s smog inspection. This Carrera 4S comes with 2 main keys, an AutoKennel leather key fob, owner’s manuals with case, a maintenance booklet with options sticker, original window sticker, tire repair kit, wheel lock socket, factory tool kit with tow hook, some recent service records, indoor car cover, original PCM radio, lowering suspension springs by H&R for Champion Motorsports, and a tool kit. **Note: VIN and other numbers withheld to protect against fraud.

Also, California requires us to surrender standard plates less than 30 years old back to the state, and they will not be delivered with the vehicle. Personalized plates stay with the seller.
This ask is running about $5,241 over the comparable average, so spec, provenance, and presentation need to justify the premium.
Photo coverage is still thin at 1 image, so presentation quality is harder to judge without opening the source listing.
Documentation still reads thin here, so this is the kind of listing where invoice detail and specialist history should drive the next round of diligence.
