2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe: Basalt Black Two-Tone Interior and Sport Exhaust This 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe is an exceptionally low-mileage 997.1 with a great factory specification. Finished in Basalt Black Metallic over a distinctive Black/Stone Grey two-tone interior this Carrera S was originally priced at $96 385 and equipped with Sport Exhaust System 19-inch Carrera Classic wheels BOSE High End Sound heated front seats Power Seat Package self-dimming mirrors thicker leather steering wheel rear window wiper and colored Porsche crest wheel caps. For someone looking for a 997 that still feels compact mechanical and unmistakably Porsche this is a very compelling example. Why the 997 Carrera S Is So Good The 997 generation has become one of the most desirable eras of modern 911 because it combines classic Porsche proportions with enough modern refinement to use regularly. The Carrera S adds the sharper performance character enthusiasts want while keeping the car simple and approachable. The steering is communicative the chassis feels compact and responsive and the naturally aspirated character gives the car a level of immediacy and sound that newer turbocharged Carreras approach differently. The 997.1 also has one of the cleanest modern 911 designs. Round headlights compact dimensions a simple rear end and classic 911 proportions have helped these cars age extremely well. This example is especially attractive for someone who has been waiting for a low-mileage 997 rather than settling for a heavily used car. Sport Exhaust Makes the Difference The factory Sport Exhaust System is one of the standout options on this build. It gives the Carrera S a much stronger soundtrack and adds exactly the kind of emotion a naturally aspirated 911 should have. On a 997 Sport Exhaust is one of those options that noticeably changes the personality of the car every time you drive it. Combined with the Carrera S chassis and low mileage it makes this car feel much more enthusiast-focused than a basic 997 build. Basalt Black Over Black and Stone Grey The specification is understated but far from ordinary. Basalt Black Metallic gives the car a deeper richer appearance than standard black and works beautifully with the clean lines of the 997 Coupe. Inside the Black/Stone Grey bicolor interior gives the cabin much more visual interest than the typical all-black setup. It adds contrast without looking loud or dated and helps this car stand apart from the many monochromatic 997s on the market. The 19-inch Carrera Classic wheels complete the look with a design that suits the generation perfectly. Colored Porsche crests add a subtle finishing touch. A Remarkably Low-Mileage Example Mileage is one of the strongest parts of this car's story. The most recent owner kept the car for approximately 13 years and averaged only about 334 miles per year . That is unusual for a 2008 Carrera S. The history also shows California ownership for much of the car's life and regular mileage documentation over the years. For a buyer searching for a 997 to preserve collect or simply enjoy without starting with a high-mileage example this car deserves attention. CARFAX History The CARFAX report shows: No accidents or damage reported 14 service history records 4 previous owners Personal vehicle history Last owned in California No total loss reported No structural damage reported No airbag deployment reported No odometer rollback indicated No open recalls reported The documented history includes oil and filter services brake fluid service alignment work battery replacement transmission inspection tire service emissions inspections and other maintenance activity. The long-term final ownership period is particularly notable with approximately 13 years of ownership and very limited annual mileage. Why This Carrera S Stands Out The combination is what makes this car compelling: 997.1 Carrera S Coupe Basalt Black Metallic Black/Stone Grey bicolor interior Factory Sport Exhaust System 19-inch Carrera Classic wheels BOSE High End Sound Heated front seats Power Seat Package Thicker leather steering wheel No accidents or damage reported to CARFAX Long-term California ownership history Low-mileage 997s with attractive specifications are becoming harder to find particularly cars that have remained essentially understated rather than heavily modified. This example has the mileage color combination Sport Exhaust and classic 997 styling that make it easy to understand why enthusiasts continue to seek out this generation.

The 997 has matured into a modern classic and low-mileage Carrera S examples have a particularly strong appeal. This one offers the right balance of classic 911 character tasteful options condition-oriented mileage and a specification that should continue to look right for years to come. ____________ Excellent Condition!
