After months of deliberating, test driving, emailing, etc... I finally made a deal on a 2003 C4S. I am waiting for the PPI to be completed next week and if everything checks out then I'll fly out and see it, complete the sale, transfer ownership and arrange to get it home.
Here's the facts:
'03 C4S coupe
Artic silver/Blk
private car w/15 mths OEM warranty, no cpo, but in Canada already.
options (all factory ordered):
Bose
Auto dim/rain sensor
Xenons
crest seats
PSE
stainless door sills
sport shifter
full leather
silver instrument faces
silver gauge trim rings
ext matching rear console
quad look stainless exhaust tips
Coloured Porsche crest center caps
Porsche aluminum valve stem caps
bumper plugs
Hopefully all goes well and it will be home before the end of March. Looking forward to my first p-car!
I'll be posting pictures next weekend when I get to take some with my camera...I know the rules!
Actually I'll try to document the whole journey with pictures from shipping to arrival home. I need to find the best way to get it from BC to Toronto. Any advice?
...also before anyone asks, I just paid up for my rennlist membership through paypal. I guess it will show up sometime next week on my profile. I figure that if I own a p-car, I better support the site that's been invaluable to me making an informed decision.
By far the best and most desirable advice, but my crazy schedule doesn't allow me the time to do the drive at this time of the year. My cars tend to be garage queens at the airport parking garage! But I do have plans for long extended weekend/holiday drives come summer.
I've heard of them before, but I didn't know if they handled (carefully) high-end cars. That would be a lot cheaper than the quote from TFX at $2300 in an enclosed "Nascar" type transport truck.
When you've used them, have you ever had damage from transport? How do they pick up and deliver? Is there someone specific at Hansen you recomend I talk to?
thx,
Phil
...drove it and luckily it turned into a beautiful day in Vancouver; love that PSE and SSK! It just purrs. What a perfect car; not a blemish in the paint, interior, etc... looks like it just came off the showroom floor! Now the long wait begins until it gets home. I'll post more (better) pictures when it arrives.
