I'm just wondering if have the sunroof delete option on an 03 C4S is something that many owners did? Being a no-cost option I would have thought many people would have decided to keep the sunroof, making a sunroof delete car a little most uncommon.
I've read quite a few posts over the years of people searching for a very long time for a sunroof-less car. Just wondering if the same goes for a 996?
I do know that the sunroof was standard for all 996's in the UK.
Asking because I'm in the process of purchasing an 03 C4S which doesnt have the sunroof.
I don't have the post at my fingertips, but I swear I remember reading a thread that indicated how many factory sunroof deletes existed. The number was tiny.
I have a 2003 UK C4S, although now registered in France. No sunroof in it and nothing on the option label to suggest it was special order. I seem to remember when I was looking for her in the UK (I only looked at C4S Models) there was about a 50/50 split on with/without sunroofs........must be different in the cold, wet UK
Mu uncle in-law purchased a new Silver C4s in 97. He's over 6' and wanted to be sure his helmet would clear. Ordered w/o a sunroof. Beautiful car with less than 20k miles today. I seriously doubt he ever thought it would be worth its purchase price again and at the time I remember he worried about not buying the sun roof for resale value. If I remember correctly he paid 82K for the car.
I Wouldn't Think that's a Plus! I Never understood the whole Delete thing anyway! WHY wouldn't it just list it as a Porsche WITH a Sunroof or IF it Doesn't have one just DON'T Mention it! WHY say Sunroof DELETE? This Also pertains to ANYTHING DELETE!
Also, IF you have a Porsche WHY Would you NOT want a Sunroof? I Could say the same about the verts but i've NEVER liked a Rag-Top on ANYTHING! They look good with it OFF, but when you put the Top UP, Not so Much! JMO!
Because race car (at very least) :-)
The sunroof brings the headliner over an inch lower diminishing precious helmet clearance. I'm 6'3" and think I'll need a special seat for the track given I have a sunroof. The mechanism is also heavy, and worse, it adds weight in the worst place. Imagine a mast on the car with a weight atop - easy to imagine the effect on handling.
