These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm planning on putting my Seal Grey, Manual, 911 C4S Coupe up for sale in a few weeks' time (it's off to the paint shop first to sort the usual stone chips to front bumper, after which I'll get it detailed and properly photographed).
Price will be £22,950. Does that sound reasonable? It's slightly less than the value suggested by
www.cazana.com
I've owned the car since 2014 – wonderfully trouble-free, just using it much less since buying my 964 last May. And I need to create garage space for an incoming, front-engined, transaxle Porsche!

RECENT SPEND
I've spent over £3,100 on the car since 2014: a PPI from SCS Porsche (no bore scoring, over-revs, etc.), new discs and pads all round, new Pirelli P-Zero N4 tyres all round, all four alloys refurbished, new fitted Porsche floor mats, new oil pressure sender unit, three Porsche services - two majors (including spark plugs, brake fluid changes, poly-rib belt changes, new ignition coil) and one minor.
Other notable items include the
IMS bearing upgrade
at SCS Porsche.
Usual, obsessive, ownership behaviour: all bills/receipts from 2006 onwards in a leather PCGB folder, I keep the car under a high-quality cover in a garage, never exceed 2000rpm until up to temperature, high-octane fuel only.
PM me if you'd like to know more.
Sounds like a very decent price for any potential owner. I would snap your hand off at that price if I was in the market for a C4S - it's a beautiful example. If I were you I'd contact
BChivs
on here about it - he's desperate for the right C4S and if you ask me, this is the one. He has the cash waiting and the price is well within his ball park.
I think BChivs is craving a TT now but worth a go as he was wavering!
There is another chap who's on the hunt though, in the 996 section I think.
Either way sounds a great car at a fair price.
Good luck with the sale.
I do love a seal grey 996 C4S! Looks like a lovely cherished example. Good luck with the sale! I do wonder whether I will end up going air cooled seeing as my 997 is becoming a garage queen since baby has arrived!
Hello from a fellow 996 owner in Cornwall. I've think I've seen your car round the Truro area? I live in Perranwell Station. Not seen your 964 though - looks lovely.
Looks very nice and price seem fair - GLWS.
Tim.

This one's a Cat. D on autotrader... if he gets it or not is a different question. £26,250.00

Update: C4S is now back from the paint shop and the front PSU looks as new.
I also collected this at the weekend. It'll be off to the paint shop soon - front valance and a couple of other bits. Drives nicely, though - reconditioned gearbox, suspension refresh.
The plan is to get the 924 in shape in time for my son's 25th birthday (October). Help him onto the Porsche ladder!
And sell the C4S in the meantime. Though I'm vacillating - it looks perfect now and seems prices are continuing their slow-but-steady climb...
Guess I'll get the photos and advert done then see what interest I get. Got an inkling, though, that I'm doing the wrong thing for the right reasons!
