This is a wide-body 996 4S where you can feel the heritage of the 911 and the unique engine sound of the boxer engine. Globally, the value of the 996 is increasing, and among them, the value of the wide-body 4S, which shares a turbo and body, is expected to continue rising. This vehicle has had around 30 million KRW spent solely on rebuilding the most important parts of an old car: the engine and transmission. The main reason people hesitate between the 996 and 997.1 is likely engine scratches and IMS bearing issues. This car has a fully rebuilt engine (100,000 km / rebuilt by Dogok Sonic Motors) From 3.6 liters to 3. This is a vehicle with an 8-liter engine that has undergone full repair, including sleeve insertion like the Metzger engine, forged piston work, and the cooling system. The IMS bearing was also serviced, and right after bringing in the car, the transmission had trouble, so it was overhauled as well. Transmission overhaul, valve body replacement, torque converter refurbishment, and transmission oil replacement have been completed (120,000 km). In the case of remanufactured used engines or engines that have not been properly repaired, there is always a risk of engine scratching recurring, so a perfectly repaired engine 996, especially the C4S, is not easy to find. Currently, the wheels are OZ RACING VELA 2 for narrow body, and the tires are equipped with Pirelli P-ZERO A/S. (Replaced in March this year / approximately 1,000 km driven) I have a full set of OEM wheels. (Two of them have scratches and need restoration.) The vehicle originally came with an OEM sports exhaust, but the previous owner changed it to an aftermarket exhaust, so the OEM exhaust is a normal exhaust, not a sports exhaust. (Currently equipped with FabSpeed MAXFLO exhaust / OEM normal exhaust available) When pressing the button, the solenoid valve operates, so the line for the OEM sports exhaust is still functional. It seems possible to retain the OEM button when installing another brand of variable exhaust or the OEM sports exhaust. When purchasing the vehicle, I will provide one full set of OEM 4S wheels, a Durametric Porsche-specific diagnostic tool, and the OEM normal exhaust. Here is the overall maintenance record. Engine full rebuild (Sleeve insertion/forged pistons/full repair of cooling system, repair cost about 25 million KRW) 103,000 km IMS bearing replacement 104,000 km Transmission valve body circuit board replacement / MAF replacement 110,000 km Driver's side window regulator replacement A/C condenser replacement 119,000 km Front and rear tire replacement Pirelli P-Zero A/S (all-season) Engine oil change / Transmission oil change Front driveshaft joint replacement (Porsche genuine) Transmission overhaul (includes valve body and torque converter refurbishment / about 4 million KRW) Wheel speed sensor replacement (front right / rear right) A/C refrigerant replacement Exhaust Fabspeed MAXFLO replacement (original retained) Light restoration, HID replacement There are two insurance records; one of them involves a large amount. (85 million KRW in 2005) This was also the biggest concern for me when bringing the car, but I confirmed that the previous owner had managed the car for several years exclusively at Dogok Sonic Motors and maintained it without sparing repair costs as a corporate vehicle. The owner before that was also a classic car club member and had the car serviced only at Spigen, which is a Porsche sanctuary. Before purchasing the vehicle, Sonic Motors lifted it and inspected it, confirming that there were no oil or fluid leaks, no issues with bushes, and no warning lights. According to the Sonic Motors CEO, there were no signs of frame replacement on the exterior, only minor sheet metal work and repainting. In the early 2000s, Porsche vehicles could not be repaired if the chassis was damaged in an accident and would be considered a total loss, so the previous owner was told not to worry and just drive it. He mentioned that it seems like there was some tampering with insurance at the time, considering that the labor cost relative to the parts is also set very low. If you are concerned, you can also lift the car using a car lift through Kabajo or a company to check, as all the initial bonding marks are still present. The vehicle can be seen in Gwangju, Jeonnam.
