For the scratches--if you run your finger over it, and can't feel anything, then any good detailer should be able to buff them out.

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.

Just picked it up last week, Had a 2000 Boxster but sold it in 05. Was looking all over for the C4S, its a really great car. 2004 C4S carmon red, black interior, Sport exhaust, Xenon lights, crests in the headreast, Bose sound package. I got it with the 2 year Porsche CPO warrantee. Just over 11,000 miles.
Anything I should be on the lookout for, problems?
The paint has some light scratches, and may need light touch up work, Would I be better off trying myself? or going to a body shop that I know?
I was also wondering where I could find the production numbers for my car and see how many were built in that color?
Great to be here, thanks for any help you can give me.

Welcome to the best 996 forum in the universe! Fantastic Car...not sure I've ever seen one in that color. As far as the scratches....if you can't see them from a few feet away, don't sweat it. How 'bout some more pix??? Nice first post.

nice color...I considered this when shopping for mine.
For the scratches--if you run your finger over it, and can't feel anything, then any good detailer should be able to buff them out.
good luck!
Try using a polishing compound to remove the scratches and swirl marks. Congrats on your P-car purchase and welcome to Rennlist. Now, where are those pics?
