2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (997) Manual

Highlights

• A proper three-pedal manual in all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 form

• The two priciest 997 maintenance jobs freshly completed by a Porsche main dealer

• Understated Meteor Grey metallic over black leather

• A sensible, well-chosen factory options list

• A 997 you can simply climb into and enjoy

Overview

For many enthusiasts, the 997 is the sweet spot of the modern 911. It went on to become the best-selling 911 of them all, so there's a wonderful choice out there, and those timeless looks have aged beautifully. Behind the rear axle sits that glorious flat-six, backed by handling that still feels wonderfully alive on a good road. In short, it's a tremendous sports car and every inch a proper Porsche.

This particular example is one of the configurations enthusiasts tend to seek out: a Carrera 4 coupe with the six-speed manual gearbox and Porsche's all-wheel-drive system. Finished in understated Meteor Grey metallic over a black leather cabin, it wears a sensible, well-chosen options list and presents beautifully for the year.

And here's the good news. The two jobs that tend to loom largest in any 997 owner's mind, the clutch and dual-mass flywheel and the front brakes, have both been freshly carried out by a Porsche main dealer in December 2025. That's the expensive, unglamorous stuff already taken care of.

The upshot is a manual, all-wheel-drive 911 that you can simply climb into and drive, which is exactly what a car like this is for. It looks the part, it's got the right pedals, and it feels ready for the road.

Summary

So here's a manual, all-wheel-drive 997 Carrera 4 coupe in a colour that flatters it and on a specification that makes real sense. It's a lovely looking example that presents in fine fettle, and with the clutch, flywheel and front brakes freshly done by Porsche, the temptation to just get in and go is a strong one. If a proper three-pedal 911 is what you're after, this one is well worth a closer look.
