But yeah it could be costly, on the other hand you can sell these after buying another set (or maybe trade with someone).

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

46 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello all. Great forum here. I've been reading for awhile, and bought a 2003 C4S in February. I've been meaning to post for awhile, but didn't want to do so without pictures. Finally snapped some this weekend. The car has 21,000 miles on it, and I paid $37,000. Some may think this is too much, but after looking for months for the right one, I wasn't going to let this one slip away. Had PPI done, everything checked out. The car is in beautiful shape, and I've got to say, I've never driven anything like it. Look forward to joining in the discussions. Thanks for looking!

POST 3Original post

Looks minty fresh, and I don't think the price is out of the ballpark. Nice find! Enjoy it.

POST 4Original post

Welcome to Rennlist! Ok, what is goin on here??

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ha ha - funny - good observation!. Doing a little bumper work on my Cadillac. The kids offered up some of their artwork to help with the project...

POST 6Original post

good eye Marc.... tell us more! Welcome to RL, nice WB!

POST 7Original post

Very nice. Love the deviated stitching. Congrats and enjoy!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the comments and the warm welcome!

POST 10Original post

Nice car! Price was right down the middle. Looks new inside!

POST 11Original post

Congrats, deviated stitching and belts are a somewhat hard find and makes a sports car looks so much nicer. ///Michael

POST 12Original post

very sexy porsche c4s, congrats, where are you btw?

Thank you. I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago.

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 7558799

Do you have the same car (looking at your picture)?

POST 15Original post

Great looking C4S!.......even though you are from Bear territory. Plenty of good folks here!

POST 16Original post

Congrats & welcome! That's a fine buy. Love the red stitches and seatbelts

POST 18Original post

Enjoy it in good health...looks really clean!!

POST 19Original post

Nice ride. Are you going to keep the chrome (wheels)?

POST 20Original post

Beautiful 4S. Enjoy it - they are terrific cars.

POST 21Original post

Welcome. I actually bought my 4S about the same time (late January) and paid a little more. So, obviously, I don't think you paid too much! And btw, love the deviated stitching and belts. Really sets off the interior.

POST 22Original post

Nice clean interior, nice C4S...can't see how anyone would say you paid too much for an 03 with so few miles, sounds like the right real to me.Love the red accents as well.

POST 26 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks again, everyone. I appreciate the comments. While I've got your attention, can I get opinions on the chrome wheels. Initially, I was set on changing them. Now, they've kind of grown on me. Obviously, it comes down to personal taste, but I am curious on what the consensus would be.

POST 28Original post

Quotes source post: 7561541

IF you like em, enjoy em.. you can search high and low when it comes to upgrade the wheels....we'lll even help to spend your money.... lol..... I think they look even better due to the fact the car is a Dark blue and it makes the car look classy....but classy doesn't really fit in a Pcar description now does it?

POST 29Original post

Car's a beauty! Red seat belts are a very nice contrast. Welcome to the site! Pete

POST 30Original post

Very nice car and well bought. We don't live too far apart. I'm planning to attend the parade in St Charles over July 4th http://parade2010.pca.org .

POST 31 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 7561781

Yeah, I'm thinking of doing the same. Nice having the parade so close to home. I see they plan to tour out west (Castle Rock State Forest). Do you ever get out that way? If so, nice drive?

POST 33 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 7561949

Yeah, I'm not sure about them. Good? Bad? I don't know. They may have grown on me after looking at the cost to upgrade rims.

POST 34Original post

Quotes source post: 7561541

Well since you asked If i was looking for new wheels, i probably wouldn't be looking for a chrome finish, but since there already on, and as already mentioned there on a dark car i think they look fine.

POST 35Original post

I would get rid of them right away... But yeah it could be costly, on the other hand you can sell these after buying another set (or maybe trade with someone). Plenty of people looking for the bling!

POST 36Original post

Very nice ride! Of course I'm biased. I bought my 02 C4S in Chicago exactly 3 years ago and drove it home. It had 20,000 miles on it then. As for the chrome, my original thought was NO, but now I'm wavering a bit. Like you said, it's not so cheap to replace them, and they sure aren't bad looking. Enjoy it, I love mine.

POST 37Original post

Quotes source post: 7558824

yes buddy, i have the same color c4s as yours.

POST 38 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 7562408

Just looked at some pix of your car from a previous thread. Awesome!

POST 39Original post

Quotes source post: 7561541

I'm with Marc. I just don't like chrome wheels. Too bling.

POST 40Original post

Let's just say that if I had a choice, I probably wouldn't choose chrome.

POST 41Original post

Great looking car. I would vote to get rid of the chrome. -Manil

POST 42Original post

I have chrome HRE's and vote to get rid of them. True PITA on the upkeep.

POST 43Original post

Great looking car, great interior. No chrome.

POST 44Original post

Nice! With the mileage and the options it got, I think it is a good deal! =)

POST 45Original post

Maybe you could refinish them. I had my Sport Designs repaired and powder coated last year. I'm happy with the result, very durable.

POST 46Original post

Nice unit. Yes, the chrome kind of stands out, but what the heck. During my newbie period, I was advised to get clear (as opposed to amber) sidelights and I may still do that. Be nice to have a glove box too!!
