It depends on how much you like the 996 vs 997 because that price will buy a very nice 997 C4S:

Top one is tiptronic, the bottom one though looks lovely.

I think maybe because the 996 is in a rare yellow, 1 of 1 RHD, looks immense

Im not sure about overpriced, but that is very nice !! the little improvements make that car and if i was looking for a C4S i think that would definitely be on the list after reading the description.

I'm not a particular fan but the yellow 911 posted by the OP looks lovely.

Looking on auto trader it seems competitively priced. Maybe a couple of k more, maybe the colour and additions/works carried out carry a premium

I literally work round the corner from this car if you'd like a second pair of eyes on it

Pics 1 and 2
Second one has rust on sills from photos.

Only two years older than a 996 so all the things that you expect to sort on a 996 will also need doing. Nice looking if that is your thing.

As for the 996. Long owners thread here:

I really like it and think the price is very good esp with the suspension refresh. If I was buying a c4s this would be pretty much top of my list currently.

It's top dollar, especially for a 2002 car that's covered 76k, but then you should be buying on condition and history with this kind of thing and it does look a very good one.

Not a big fan of the yellow personally but that is utterly subjective of course. The mods seem tastefully done and those seats are gorgeous.

My only concern would be whether it would hold it's value with those mods as most buyers looking for a standard car I would suggest, but if you're buying to drive and enjoy then who cares about that?

That's a really, REALLY nice car.

I honestly wouldn't walk past that if I was in the market.

It seems on the slightly expensive side.

There is a yellow C4S on eBay for 5k less, with a (non original) X51 engine fitted.

No proper service history, a bit tired, non original engine. You won't find a decent C4S for under £25K.
