This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S is a standout among 996 models being adorned in a special order Carrera White on Savanna leather with sport seats. While some may raise an eyebrow at its Tiptronic transmission, the combination of its low mileage and exceptional aesthetics could make it a magnet for collectors.
As the 996 generation of the Porsche 911 continues its slow rise from the ashes, more and more seem to be coming out of the woodwork and getting shown some love. Suddenly it isn’t so crazy to drop $10,000 on maintenance and repairs if you know the values are holding strong and slowly creeping upwards. That certainly seems to be the case today with this 2003 911 Carrera 4S up for sale in Georgia. Let’s drive in for a quick look.
Sometimes I feel for my fellow enthusiasts who live in the UK as just by the realities of the population, they have fewer choices in terms of cars. There are roughly 33 million cars in the UK, and while that sounds like a ton, it isn’t when compared to the US which boasts roughly 289 million. I know you are saying that of course, that makes sense, but my point here is that there aren’t as many options to choose from especially if you want a 23-year-old Porsche. However, if you wanted a 2000 Porsche 911 Turbo with a Nephtrite Green leather interior, you are in luck.
I’m not here to say “I told you so”, but when I told you three years ago to snag these while they were still cheap, I wasn’t kidding. Just $28,500 for this example back in February 2020 (right before the world fell apart) seems like highway robbery as that car is probably going to sell for at least $10,000 more today. Today’s example, a 2004 up for sale in New York, has the beautiful Carrara White with just over 44,000 miles. Still grab one while you can? Maybe not at this price.
Sometimes less is more. Just because you can throw everything on the car, doesn’t mean you should. At a point, there are too many designs and too many colors to even take in and it becomes a jumbled mess. Today’s car, a 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, might be one of those. It starts off great with a wonderful shade of Ocean Jade Metallic and then goes all downhill from there. You’ll see what I mean.
