Priced at $49,959 ranked #1 of 9 in the regional comparable set on price.The single most important fact about this car: it is a 997.2, not a 997.1.Every 2009 Carrera and Carrera S (non-Turbo) was built on the second-generation 997 platform with the all-new 9A1 (MA1) direct-injection flat-six engine. That engine eliminated the intermediate shaft entirely meaning no IMS bearing, no IMS bearing failure risk, and no IMS retrofit decision to make. The 9A1 also resolved the bore-scoring issues that affected earlier M96/M97 engines. This is the Carrera that Porsche enthusiasts and independent specialists consistently recommend as the safest used 911 to buy outside of a GT car.Powertrain highlights:3.8L flat-six with Direct Fuel Injection 385 horsepower, 310 lb-ft of torque9A1 (MA1.01) engine closed-deck AluSil block, no IMS bearing, no bore-score concerns060 mph in 4.5 seconds (4.3 with PDK and Sport Chrono launch control)Top speed 188 mph[TRANSMISSION confirm: 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK dual-clutch]What sets the 997.2 apart from earlier 911s:New direct-injection engine (no shared parts with the troubled M96/M97 family)Updated PCM3 infotainment with touchscreen and BluetoothRefreshed front fascia with LED daytime running lightsRevised LED tail lightsOptional PDK transmission (replacing the older Tiptronic)The last hydraulically-assisted-steering, naturally-aspirated 911 Carrera before Porsche moved to electric power steering and turbocharging a meaningful detail to driving-focused buyersThis specific car:70 high-resolution photos documenting every panel, the full interior, engine bay, and undersideBlack exterior the most resale-stable color in the 911 lineageCurrently listed across CarGurus, AutoTrader, and Cars.com full multi-channel exposureConsignment vehicle with full transparency on historyWhy now:Clean 997.2 Carrera S coupes are appreciating.
