2009 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet

A 997.2-generation Carrera 4S Cabriolet in Arctic Silver Metallic over Stone Grey leather, fitted with PDK and a well-chosen options list that includes Porsche Sports Exhaust (PSE), memory seats, heated seats, and 19-inch Sport Design wheels. At just under 39,500 miles from 2009, this is a car that has clearly been used and enjoyed rather than left to stagnate, yet the mileage remains well below average for its age.

The full service history is thorough, with nine stamps alternating between Porsche main dealer, specialists, and the selling dealer — the kind of documented care that underpins residual values in the 997.2 market. All books and manuals are present. The 997.2 Carrera 4S represents the sweet spot of the naturally aspirated flat-six 911 lineage: the revised 3.8-litre direct-injection engine paired with all-wheel drive and the wider body give it a breadth of ability that ages extremely well.

PDK was a shrewd choice on this car — it transformed the 997.2 driving experience and remains one of the best dual-clutch systems fitted to any car of this era. Combined with PSE and the Sport Design wheels, this is a nicely specified example that avoids being over-optioned while covering the essentials.
