Porsche 997 Carrera 4 listings 131 for sale now
The 997 Carrera 4 brought all-wheel drive to Porsche's acclaimed 997 platform, borrowing the wider rear bodywork from the 911 Turbo. This gave it a more aggressive stance than the standard Carrera while adding all-weather stability. Early 997.1 cars (2006-2008) used the M97 engine, while the 2009 model year introduced the 997.2 with the direct-injection 9A1 engine and the optional PDK dual-clutch transmission.
Collectors appreciate the 997 for its classic proportions and hydraulic power steering, often calling it the last of the truly analog 911s. The Carrera 4 variant is especially desirable for those seeking a daily-drivable 911 that can handle varied climates without the expense of a Turbo. Its wider body is a key aesthetic draw, offering a more exotic look than its narrow-body counterpart.
Buying Tips
- For 2006-2008 models, confirm the IMS bearing has been preemptively replaced, as the original design can lead to catastrophic engine failure.
- Request a borescope inspection on all 997.1 M97 engines to check for cylinder bore scoring, a known and expensive issue.
- Test the all-wheel drive system for warning lights or unusual noises, and check for even wear on the front tires.
- Inspect the front radiators and A/C condensers, as their low position makes them vulnerable to damage from road debris.
- On 2009+ models with the PDK transmission, ensure it shifts smoothly and that its service history is up to date.
