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.

Hi All - I'm new here and to Porsche. I'm just about to pull the trigger on a mint '04 C4S coupe with 15k miles. The car is Arctic over Metropole Blue and has Bose, Supple and Techno Wheels (no PSE, however...bummer...I'll be asking for aftermarket recommenations from you all).
Deal is $61k with CPO running to 9/09 (still 6 mos on factory warranty). Car was driven by nice lady in her late 50s, was serviced by dealership I'd be buying from. I have all the records and have reviewed the CPO worksheet and repair order (15k service done, 4 new Michelins, Brake Fluid Flush).
Thoughts??
Thanks.
Thanks, I know you're right in the middle of selling your '02 and I took a good look at it. Since, I'm new to Porsche getting a longer CPO is valuable to me, so I went with a newer model year.
Go for it C4S is the best looking 996. Love them. If its CPO though and its a 04 it should be running out for you in 2010 right....4 year Factory and CPO is 2 year 100k miles. I got a 03 CPO bought last year first service date Aug 03 so Aug of this year 07 4 years Factory is up then I get til Aug of 09 til CPO runs out. Might wanna check that but go for it anyways
Good point, Cabova. The in-service date was September '03, so warranty runs out in '07. then, add on the two years of CPO coverage. I'm guessing this was an early '04??
Thanks, guys!! I did the deal...I'm writing from my phone right now, so I'll keep this short.
It's a stick (of course)
I'm thrilled to be getting my first Pcar.
I'll post some pictures soon
Congrats on getting the C4S and Welcome to Rennlist. PICS??? did someone say Pics???? Yes, we WILL need to see some pics! If not, you and I will have to have a "little talk" about pics!
Hey guys, even that little but of Newbie bashing felt good! Sure beats kicking the dog!
LOL Gota911. I got this image in my head of you, in some dungeon that you haven't left in years, all dirty and dusty, you weight about 78Lbs and you're chained to a computer. Everytime a person gets a new P, someone comes in and whips you and says, TELL 'EM TO GET US PICS!!!!
Sorry, it may just be my wierd sense-of-humor. :P
Congrats on a truly SWEEET RIDE!!
Thanks, guys! I'll take some real pix when the car arrives (10-14 days). I have a link to the dealer pix but am not allowed to post it due to my low post count.
Let me guess...I should subscribe to Rennlist and this issue will "automagically" disapper??
Sammy:
You took a very short route to a very nice car. I started with a 924, then a 928S before my first 911, a 1991 C2. Since then I've had a 993 C4S, a 993 TT and I currently drive an 03 C4S. I did learn a little working my way through the Porsche line that you will miss jumping right into a practically new C4S. For instance, the direct injection Porsches will probably start at 380hp with 420hp X51 engines and 550hp turbos. So keep your next trade-in in mind when tinkering with your new car. I know it's not the time to be thinking of your next car, but a few dollars saved can make the difference of a year or two on your next Porsche.
Thanks for all the feedback, guys! Mileage is 15,2XX. Here's the complete list of options:
BSEMDL BASE Porsche Base Model 83,400.00
