Love this colour

but mileage huge!!

RPM, are they any good?

Missed out on the Lapis Blue cab, seen a nice black cab, but then looking at other end of price range, under 20 grand for this, surely somethings amiss!?

seems like lots of buyers looking for good C4S's !

Seen a nice black cab, but 28 grand, seems a lot....

might have to settle for a coupe, 'settle' !!! ha ha smile

Or may for the Turbo, guess it's a case of wainting and seeing what poops up in the classifies, JZM, Paragon, 911V and RSJ all seem to be low on stock of all turbo's and C4S's of 996 type!

whats going on, someone buying them all and hording them!!! smile

I have driving Tip Turbo's and haven't bothered with a Tip C4S, made my mind up that I want a manual in either car, hated the Tip tbh, pressing buttons to change gears doesn't seem 'natural' !

Noticeable lack of any decent C4S or Turbos currently in the classifieds, hoping new year will prompt some cars to fill the market...

Ideal spec for me for C4S

Lapis Blue
Black leather
Cabriolet
Manual
PSE

So if anyone has one of that spec and is toying with the idea of selling, PM me! smile

Yes i thought it was more like a 25k car, 28 is 997 territory

All 4 wheels show kerning scrapes too, so refurbs would have to be taken into consideration

very confusing

this is less money, newer model and 3.8, but not the cab model....

http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/use...

so how can the cab be at 28k on the old model 2004!?

ah right ok, thanks

so having the both 'seals' changed under warranty is no big deal really....

Thanks Hungrymc, will tell all on wednesday when i collect, with pics too!

It's bang on what i was after spec wise, centre section painted in body colour too, which is something i've always loved!

Can't wait for the nice long drive back from JZM on wednesday.

Thanks Monthefish

I am so excited about picking it up, i'll post pics a plenty on wednesday, after i have had a nice long drive

Quite a swerve from the C4S, but this car just grabbed me, and the power / performance is incredible, feels so much faster than any other Porsche I've driven.
