Comments please...993 C4S in Black

[CGF993]

Guys,

As per my previous post, I am on the market for a late 993 C4S.
I am going to view one tomorrow and would like opinions please.

The car is a 1997(R) RHD, UK car, with full documented PSH, all bills, receipts, MOT's etc.
2 owners, 67K, last service 65K, clutch at 50K,brakes all replaced recently, new P-Zero's, no accident damage, Air Con working, basically it seems to be sorted, although I have yet to view in person.

Questions ??

Is the mettalic black with full black leather one of the desirable colour schemes thinking of later re-sale.
I like black but have put more emphasis on the right history and car rather than colour.

Anything else I should be worried about ?

This is from a dealer and although the asking price is £39,990, I will not go one penny above £35K, which he will accept subject to viewing. It had a PPI check done at JCT last service which I will get a copy of, but may still have another done for myself.

Appreciate any feedback and comments that may help.

Thanks

Good colour combo I would have thought - though my C4S is yellow so what do I know.

Seems a good price and a lovely sounding car

[tim993]

sounds very nice. how'd you manage more than 10% off the asking price - i should get some lessons. Is it normal to get this much off?

Tim,

Maybe something to do with me being from Jockland...lol

At 35k sounds like a bargain, at a fiver short of 40k it's a rip off!

Let us know the moment you decide!!!

(why i am so excited?)

With a black on black car...make sure the a/c is definitely in good working order.

Verysideways, why are you so excited ???

I have been assured that the Air Con is working perfectly, but again living in Scotland I should probably pay more attention to the heater working properly ...

Thanks for the comments guys

At 35K it sounds like a good deal.

I personally like black, but it certainly takes some looking after. Then again I went for arena red which always gets slated in the press. But I don't think I'm alone in liking it.

Definitely get an inspection done, irrespective of when it had the last one done. Its a lot of money not to. A lot can happen in a very small amount of miles...

Metallic Black with Black..... Probably just about the best combo you can get

Yep again echo the comments of the guys here.

Good colour combo...James, did I see you in Oxford Thursday night?

Yes I was in Oxford Thursday - what were you driving

....Back from the JR so in the Golf, probably one of several thousand passed in that day so I unless I had swerved violently infront of you flashing my lights and gurning out of the window (which I didn't) you wouldn't have noticed me.

Come the summer I'll have me a 993 so then I will flash away like a hooner.

That yellow is such a great colour, really pale and almost like custard...okay, probably not the best descriptor but really very nice.

After a trip down to the coast today all the cars that grabbed my attention were lime green elise, yellow this, red that....I'm becoming a fan of bright colours....most unlike me.
