Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.
Discussions that suspect a cause

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
The C4S Cab is rare so that might fetch a little more, but 6-8 is probably the ballpark.
Leading evidence: 'ballpark' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'ballpark' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 996' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

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.

It's a sad day in the Riad household, my beloved C4S has finally died.
215,000 miles and 13 years is a very good run. She still looks brand new, but I had a catastrophic engine failure... and so this is where we part.
Anyone can tell me what I can get for the rest of the car that's in perfect condition? 5k?
x-posted in off-topic as well.
Thanks,
Rob
Ohhhhhhh-noooooooooooooo!
Sorry to hear. I would say a roller for someone planning a swap, or V8 would be looking at $7-9k for a car which is in otherwise very good cond, however the high miles is going to turn a lot of people off. In a case like this, being in a rush is going to hurt value. Maybe if you can wait a few months for the right person.
Good luck moving forward. If you want a 99 C2 aero. I have one for sale, and I deliver too!
Sorry again Rob. Definitely sucks
The C4S Cab is rare so that might fetch a little more, but 6-8 is probably the ballpark.
He answered that in OT. Cheapskate
Sorry you're at the end of the road, Rob. Maybe you should post a few pics? Never know who might want a project -- those LS V8 swaps are getting more popular every day.
Jesus Riad, it's been a long run for you. Bummer about your engine failing. I'd suggest your roller price might be in the 5-8k range once you locate the right buyer. You must be busy, don't see that many posts from you recently, hope all is well other than your Porsche problem. Good luck finding a roller buyer.
Yeah... I'll probably get 6k for the car... if you sold the wheels, and hard top you'd get 2k alone!
Seems like the timing chain.
Right now looking at a 991 C4S, or C4S Cab.
Yup! The car still looks new!
Thanks! That's what I'm thinking the price is as well. Yeah haven't been on much, busy and I just sort of migrated over to FB with about 50 other Rennlisters... if anyone's on FB IM me and we'll meet over there.
Do a bit of digging around the engine before posting the car for sale. You'll get more money for it if you have some information regarding the engine. It makes a difference if there is no hole in the block, intermix or cylinder scoring to the potential buyer. It did to me when I bought non running 996. The intermix and hole is easy to check.
The car looks really good by the way. This would be a good starting point for a DYIer if the price is right.
