2008 Porsche 911C4 Carrera 4 Cabriolet 6-Speed with WarrantyThis
gorgeous, Basalt Black Metallic 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
Cabriolet with a manual 6-speed is the perfect driver's
experience-and includes a comprehensive bumper-to-bumper warranty
that lasts into June, 2024! This car has had no accidents and comes
with a clean Washington title in the seller's name.Exterior
FeaturesWith just under 50K miles on the odometer, this beauty has
been carefully maintained, driven only about 3,500 miles per year
on average. Being a "Carrera 4," this 997.1 generation 911 has a
3.6-liter flat-six that drives all four 19? Carrera Sport
wheels-making Porsche's legendary cornering capabilities even more
impressive. Note the beautiful flared rear wheel wells in the
photos: Carrera 4 911s feature wider rear bodywork when compared to
the standard Carrera. Also, this model includes Porsche Sport
Exhaust as indicated by the quad exhaust pipes.The convertible top
is original and is in overall great shape. The one area of minor
fabric fray is highlighted in the photos. There are also some
typical creasing from folding/unfolding the top, and 2 marks or
stains from a previous owner (possibly from stickers that were
placed on the top at some point?). The convertible top mechanism is
fully functional, automatically raising and lowering both the top
and both side windows with the touch of a button.Other exterior
features include a speed-activated rear spoiler, integrated fog
lights, bi-xenon headlights, paint protection film applied to the
front end, door edges, and leading edges of the rear quarter
panels. The entire vehicle was recently detailed, including
applying ceramic paint protectant.Interior FeaturesThe interior is
finished in Sand Beige leather and features heated,
power-adjustable front seats (with driver's seat and side mirror
position memory); PCM with navigation; CD player, automatic climate
control, cruise control, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
Original black floor mats with the Porsche logo are installed in
each footwell.Original tire pump, puncture repair sealant, and tow
hook all come with the car and are discretely secured in their
storage spaces under the front storage trunk's floor mat.The car
also comes with a Porsche-designed windshield shadescreen that
perfectly covers the car to help keep it cool when parked in the
sun.Finally, one original Porsche remote-control key fob is
included, along with a complete set of owner's manuals in the
original leather binder. I'm also including a second manual key I
had made that (manually) unlocks the door and will turn the
ignition; it just doesn't have the remote control functionality-but
it's perfect as a backup/spare key.Warranty (Comprehensive
Third-Party Service Contract)As mentioned previously, a huge
value-add for the buyer of this car is the inclusion of a fully
transferrable, comprehensive service contract (warranty) that was
purchased from the dealer at the time I bought the car in 2022.
Valid into June 2024, this "Ultimate XP" contract by Xtended
Auto/CornerStone United is a top-of-the-line, no-holds-barred
coverage. Details of coverage are provided in the photos, but most
everything except the clutch is covered (and I paid for a brand-new
clutch in 2022)! Here's a quote directly from the company's
brochure (bold text comes from the brochure):[Ultimate XP is]
Coverage so comprehensive that if it's not on the short list of
exclusions, it is covered.My own experience with this warranty is
very positive. I'm happy to report that when the clutch was
replaced and the mechanic discovered the shaft seal was leaking,
this contract helped cover the cost (after the deductible). Even
better, the mechanic was able to bill the company directly, so I
had no hassle with paying everything up-front and then battling
with them for reimbursement. Instead, I just paid the difference
between what the mechanic's bill was for the seal and my
deductible.This contract cost me thousands of dollars, but I felt
it was worth it to give me peace of mind when buying such an
expensive, high-performance car. The knowledge that this contract
would cover virtually all repairs is something I can pass on to the
new owner. I can make the complete contract available for a
potential buyer to review. I'd also recommend contacting my
mechanic (Spec German in Gig Harbor-best Porsche shop in the
Seattle metro area!) to confirm their ability to work directly with
the warranty company.ServicingRecent service work includes the
