I avoided any abrasive sponges or towels and gave it regular treatments with Plexus using a microfiber cloth and it stayed clean and clear.
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.

Hey, Amir. I think you were looking at your car the same afternoon I test drove the C4S I bought a week later at Sun Motor Cars.
I took this picture when I picked up the C4S and left the Boxster behind. I think your car is just visible behind the second black Cayenne...
Sorry I didn't get a better picture of it!
I hope you're enjoying your car as much as I am enjoying mine!
Heh..thanks! That was a customization on my part...got them on ebay for $6
.
Evansaero: Thanks! I was a little worried about white..but it turned out to be something I really like
.
thanks,
Amir
Hahahah...yeah..I see it...what a coincidence!
Very very very nice C4S...I'm kinda jealous
.
I was originally a bit scared to get it....not-CPO...no-litronics...plastic rear window....but I'm actually very happy with the purchase...and am enjoying it immensely. More-so..than my Supra (don't let them know)
.
BTW...are you an MD?
I was asking the dealer the demographics of the buyers...they told me something like 40% doctors, 40% land-developers, and 20% the rest-of-the-mix (like me).
Let the good time roll
.
thanks,
Amir
Thanks. The C4S was a bit of a stretch, but worth it!
From what I saw, your car looked like it was in excellent condition. Carrera's are pretty reliable, so hopefully the non-CPO won't be an issue for you. I had the plastic rear window on my Boxster. I avoided any abrasive sponges or towels and gave it regular treatments with Plexus using a microfiber cloth and it stayed clean and clear. I don't have Litronics either, but they can always be added later.
No, I'm not an MD, I live in Maryland. Steve told me the same thing about the demographics. I'm in the rest-of-the-mix, too.
YES! Let the good times roll!
Did you get rid of the Supra?
I had one back in 94, Supra TT... It was the fastest car I have ever owned and I still miss it.
The tech that was put into that car was just amazing
After reading "Bob" and all related posts..I got paranoid and bought myself an extended warrante...we'll see how that goes.
Yeah..I worked with Steve as well. My son ripped my title (shouldn't have left it lying around) and Steve is helping me out in getting another one. Look forward to seeing people in some sort of local meet.
thanks,
Amir
In the process of selling it. I'd rather not..but then I'd end up with a garage queen considering I work from home.
Was yours modified?
Yes...the Supra is beyond fast and reliable as hell..and a major head turner...but I think after owning it nearly 5 years...it was time to do something else.
thanks,
Amir
Yup, I had Eibach springs, larger throttle body, bigger intercooler, HKS Exhaust, and K&N filter.
I remember reading an article which stated they did everything to reduce weight; that they used hollow carpet fibers
Enjoy your P-car, I bought mine 2 months ago and I don't think I will ever own any other type of car.
I saw this car advertised on Sun Motor's web site earlier this summer and was considering it myself. I think there asking price was inthe low 40s? Is it CPO'd?
Nope...after lots of thought, I went for it anyways..and got a 4/60 extended warrantee from Warranty4Wheels (just in case). I paid $36.5K (if you wanted to know).
I have driven it for a month now...everything seems more or less fine so far (mashallah). The handbrake microswitch is a bit sticky...going to get the warrantee to fix it...or just get the smartTop upgrade.
thanks,
Amir
