993 C4S at Portiacraft - £25,995......

[Batchworth993]

I'm intending to take a look at a 103k mile 993 C4S at Portiacraft over the next few days.

I have owned a few 993s so have a pretty good idea what to look for - plus if do go for it, I will get an inspection done.

Just wondering if anyone else has viewed the car or knows anything about it? Looks cheap for a 993 C4S but there's probably a reason....(aprt from the highish mileage).

Any views/thoughts positively welcome.

Thanks.

Price just been dropped £1k or £2k. can`t recall exactly what it was first listed at. looks a good price on the face of it. Thought about having a look myself but not so keen on the colour and the comfort seats, so factor in another £1k if you want to add hardback ones at a later date.

I haven't seen the car but as you say a 993 C4S for mid twenties sounds like great value, if it checks out.
Also, 103K isn't garage queen standard but it's not exactly high for the age either. Infact, I'm trying to remember what my 964T has on it...

oh yeah, 103K (ish).

Good luck with it, I hope it's a good'un for you. They are one of the best looking 911s ever and imo the only widebodied 911 that looks better without the rear wing. Actually no there's 2, the 996 C4S looks better than the Turbo. Flamesuit on and exit stage left, sharpish!

Looks great, mileage is fine at that price.

Only downsides for me would be the interior colour (preference would be black) and lack of sports seats.

i'd be asking why it hasn't got the correct rear grill

I'm not totally sure about this but I can remember somebody telling me that is the correct grill for a 4S and it's only the 2S which should have the split grill.

As I say, not absolutely sure of this so if somebody knows better, please correct me.

They might ask you to do some more homework then.

I think it looks right for a '96 car?

Only the Carrera S (2S) has the split grille as standard. 4S has the standard black item.

Doh I was thinking about the C2S at V911, no idea why!
