C2 or C4?

[gwatson]

Just planning my next car once I get bored with my BMW Z4 3.0, maybe early next year. I've seen some nice 911 C2 Coupes with factory fitted Aero kits and they look stunning.

For now I just want to know what the difference between a C2 and C4 is. The power seems the same.... is it just suspension, interior etc?

Not sure I could stretch to a C4, or rather would prefer to get a low milage C2 for the same price.

ha ha, pretty obvious then, doh!

Any particular must haves or trim levels to look out for?

Is it always best to get a car with a factory fitted kit?

How much would you say a 2000 model C2 depreciates each year. Just trying to work out how much more it will cost to run than my beemer.

Just got an insurance quote, only £670 a year. Not bad considering I am 26 and the value of my car, that was also for a 2002 which isn't in my budget.

Would like a 2000 onwards. Any facelifts? I note some have white dials and some have black, is this part of a face lift.

30bhp extra sounds good, although I guess a DMS could remap achieve this...

Can anyone comment on approx servicing costs, service intervals and fuel consumption for a C2.

I have a daily drive which I mostly use during the winter, so 4WD isn't an issue.

Keep the comments coming

"When I do peek it's early 20s if driven 'reasonably', I generally get 19."

Wow, is that all....I get around 29.5 in my 3.0 Beemer on Average and around 35mpg on a long trip. 19mpg scares me

The car will def be a manual, no question

Thanks for the comments so far.

Admiral... best place to get a quick quote.

The value was £33k for a 2002 car. I have 3 years no claims. Putting my girlfriend (who is only 25)down as a named driver reduces my premium by over £250.... has done so for the last 3 years, crazy! Not that she gets to drive it very often Putting any female on it seems to have this effect, even putting your mum down, you'd be amazed by the discount, my mate save over £420 on his M3.

Thanks, when was your facelift car released? How can I tell the two cars from each other?
