2008 Porsche 911 (997) Carrera S Manual – A Sorted, Documented & Passionately Upgraded ExampleBasalt Black | 6-Speed Manual | 125,700 km | Full Service History | Tasteful Enthusiast Upgrades
There are 911s, and then there are 911s that tell a story—not just of miles travelled, but of meticulous care, mechanical integrity, and thoughtful enhancement. This 2008 Carrera S is exactly that: a beautifully maintained, driver-focused Porsche that has been both cherished and thoughtfully upgraded.
The 997-era 911 is revered for striking the perfect balance—the analogue steering feel, the iconic shape, and the visceral connection of a naturally aspirated flat-six, all wrapped in a platform that is both engaging and reliable. In Carrera S guise, with its 3.8-litre engine and rear-wheel-drive purity, it represents one of the last truly driver-oriented 911s. Paired with a crisp 6-speed manual, it’s a car that rewards skill and involvement every time you turn the key.
Porsche dealership serviced until 2015, then maintained by specialists.
Major engine health check at 116,503 km including a cylinder leakage and compression test—all with excellent results.
Key preventative replacements: water pump, coolant hoses, starter motor, alternator, front lower control arms, all discs and pads, rear control arms and bushes.
Recent service completed in September 2025 at 125,382 km.
An engine that breathes through a FI exhaust system (fitted at Heasmans), enhancing both sound and responsiveness.
This is a car that doesn’t hide behind low mileage—it proves its strength through thorough, documented care.
Beyond its mechanical excellence, this Carrera S has been thoughtfully enhanced with select upgrades that elevate the driving experience:
991.2 steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara—a smaller diameter for sharper response, and a costly upgrade that transforms cabin feel.
Updated infotainment blending modern convenience with classic aesthetics.
Coilover suspension and upgraded wheels for adjustable handling and standout presence.
As part of our Axxle “Dream to Achieve” commitment, every vehicle undergoes a strict internal inspection. This 911 passed without issue, ready for its next enthusiast owner. It comes with all books, two keys, and a comprehensive file of records and receipts.
This is more than a used car—it’s a curated, well-documented Porsche that delivers the analog thrill and modern confidence that defines the 997 era. Whether you’re a seasoned Porsche enthusiast or entering the world of iconic sports cars, this Carrera S offers peace of mind and pure driving joy in equal measure.
