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.

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.
Leading evidence: 'Test drive' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test drive' (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.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

with the drop in 996 prices and with the current state of the economy, do you think this is a good deal?
2004 996 C2

Not much else....

Hey, you're in OC, is the car at a dealer? Sounds good....
Have you contacted
www.autohauswest.com?
That's where I got mine, and they're in the process of folding their tent.
There are deals to be had....
-Dave
Funny you say that.... that's where this car is at...
it started at $46K... then dropped to $44K, then to $43K, now I think its listed at $41,990 or something like that... I'm going to offer $38K. Not bad for a 2004 in my opinion...
Also, I've been seeing 2002 C4Ss in the low 40's... any opinions?
2002 C4S vs. 2004 C2? comparable miles... would you pay $4K more for the C4S even though its 2 years older?
THANKS ALL!!!
Tips seem to be going for a lot less. I recently had a dealer offer me a 2003 tip w/47k miles in pristine condition w/aero kit for $36,500. That was his first asking price, just couldn't deal with the tip. I just bought an 01 C2 in great shape good options w/39k miles and 2 years/30k left on a good aftermarket warranty for $29,900.
Damn, what a difference a year makes! And a recession!
I paid $10k more for my '00 C2 last year. Oh well.
Wonder if I can sell it to non-Rennlist buyers (ie, buyers that don't know about the 'best' deals out there), then score a C4s for the same money!?
Wow, prices are still continuing to drop.. It's not just the P-car either. I was stunned when a friend of mine picked up an '06 SL500 early this week for
$50k
Where are you seeing 02 C4S's for low 40's?? Maybe I'm searching in the wrong place! I figured I could find a decent one for $45K...? I'm taking one for a test drive after work today!

Mike, I haven't been in the market for a C4S since I got mine early Feb., but I was able to negotiate mine (one owner/37k miles/PPI) for a better figure than you've quoted
With falling prices, another great reason NOT to sell. Prices on these cars should pick up some as summer approaches, but more when the economy picks up. They're not going to appreciate or have collector-car status, but my bet is prices will eventually rebound. As for the C4S, it has many standard features that are optional on the C2/C4 - but it's that wide body that just makes the car, IMO.
