2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe in Lapis Blue — 996 Project with Tiptronic S
About this vehicle
The 996 holds a particular place in Porsche history — it was the first water-cooled 911, built on a completely new platform. For the 2002 model year, the Carrera line got a facelift and a bigger 3.6-liter flat-six. This Carrera 4 Coupe comes finished in Lapis Blue Metallic over Metropol Blue leather, wearing 18" Turbo-Look alloy wheels and factory-optioned flared rocker panels; the Advanced Technic Package and a 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic are also aboard. The odometer reads 83,078 miles. Offered from Hauppauge, NY, it carries a Clean, Branded-Lemon Buyback title and is listed as a project candidate. Per the NHTSA VIN decode, factory specifications include a 3.6L six-cylinder engine.
Silver brake calipers and Carrera 4 rear badging distinguish this car at a glance from the standard Carrera. The base color is Lapis Blue Metallic, and the 2002 facelift brought revised headlights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets — all standard fitment. Factory-optioned flared rocker panels are present as well. The seller notes signs of previous paintwork along with various scratches and dents throughout the body; no panel replacement or frame damage is evident. Tires carry substantial tread but are older. A clean CARFAX and detailed gallery images accompany the listing.
Inside, Metropol Blue supple leather covers the cabin. A leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel, Carrera 4-scripted door sills, and a sunroof are all present. Power-adjustable seats, windows, and mirrors come fitted. The seller reports no rips or tears in the leather and notes the car would benefit from a thorough detailing. A check engine light is illuminated.
Drive goes to all four wheels through the 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic, with the 3.6-liter flat-six rated from the factory at 320 HP and 273 lb-ft of torque. Braking hardware consists of four-piston alloy calipers over perforated discs, and Porsche Stability Management (PSM) together with Automatic Braking Differential (ABD) round out the standard performance equipment. The seller reports a serious misfire with the check engine light on. Having sat for over two years, the car isn't considered roadworthy and should be towed to its next destination. The engine isn't seized; it will crank, start, and idle. The seller recommends a Porsche specialist handle the return to proper running order.
Sale includes a clean title and one key.
