A Porsche is not just any car; it is a promise of speed, precision, and ultimate driving pleasure. This 996 Carrera 4S is no exception. The maintenance story of this car is a testament to the care and attention given to it. In 2015, at a mileage of 126,834, the crucial IMS bearing was replaced with an improved DOF bearing. This is an essential component for the 996’s reliability, and the upgrade provides peace of mind for the new owner.
During the same service, the engine mounts, front intermediate shaft hardy disk, and of course a full oil change were also performed. This Porsche has always been serviced by Porsche specialists, and a detailed data sheet is available with all the maintenance points the car has undergone. The last major service was in 2023, during which the oil was changed and the front brakes were replaced. In 2020, both front and rear discs and pads were replaced, along with the water pump. The shock absorbers were renewed in 2019. Thanks to this attention to detail and maintenance, this 996 Carrera 4S is now an extremely clean and enjoyable car to drive.

The rich history of the Porsche 911: the 996 in the spotlight
The Porsche 911, a name synonymous with speed and elegance, has a long and glorious history. Introduced in 1998, the 996 generation brought a revolutionary change in 911 design. It was the first 911 with a water-cooled engine, a move that was necessary to meet increasingly stringent emissions standards and take performance to the next level.
The 996 Carrera 4S is a special model within this generation. With its wider body, derived from the 911 Turbo, and the characteristic red reflector strip connecting the taillights, the 4S is one of the most visually impressive 911 models. The interior is luxurious and sporty, perfectly balanced to provide both comfort and a pure driving experience.

It is not just another car; it is an extension of the driver, a symbiosis between man and machine.
The headlights of the 996, once controversial, are now seen as iconic and loved by collectors. They have received nicknames such as “mirror egg” for their unique shape, and have become a symbol of this particular generation.
