2005 Porsche 911 (997) Carrera 2 SBlack with Black leather

The entry-point 997 Carrera established a new benchmark for the base 911. The 3.6-litre flat-six produced 325hp (345hp in 997.2), mated to either a six-speed manual or Tiptronic/PDK automatic. Perfectly balanced chassis, legendary steering feel, and everyday usability make this the core 911 experience. The 997.2 brought direct injection, improving both performance and efficiency.

IMS bearing failure is the primary concern on 997.1 cars (2005-2008) though less prevalent than 996. Rear main seal weeps are common and usually cosmetic. Tiptronic torque converters can fail. Bore scoring is possible on 997.2 direct injection engines if oil changes are neglected. PASM struts have limited lifespan.
