We changed the oil before we left (DT40) and added the LNE magnetic drain plug.

We used some polish to get most of this residue off paint.

The interior still needs some work and we would like to repaint the center console, replace the shift boot and ****, and also look for a new driver's seat and a rear seat bottom for the backseat.

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.

Hi all, my son and I have been looking at a C4S outside of Knoxville for a few years. It sat in a parking garage, and finally a few weeks ago, I placed a note under the wiper. The owner called me and named a price, to which we agreed, and we drove down last week to pick it up. It was pretty dirty and needed a good car wash down in Clinton, TN. We changed the oil before we left (DT40) and added the LNE magnetic drain plug. We need to do some work on the hood as it has a number of paint chips, and a nasty dent from the inside out.
The color is Zenith Blue, and not offered as a standard color in 2002. The interior still needs some work and we would like to repaint the center console, replace the shift boot and ****, and also look for a new driver's seat and a rear seat bottom for the backseat. Looks to have a leather dash and leather door panels.
Take a look at pics. IMS has not been done, so that will be on the list, along with water pump and a look at the AOS, RMS and maintenance items.
This beauty has 102k miles. Thanks for looking!
We used some polish to get most of this residue off paint.
Nice find in a great color!
I believe all C4S came with the full leather interior (doors and dash).
You might also look into motor mounts. “Saggy” exhausts tips is a sign that they are due for replacement.
Gorgeous! You're going to need to PM me about how to refresh/repaint the interior. I have a Graphite Grey one also and I've redone my interior and it looks fantastic!
Good luck on your new ride!
Woodman, I'm guessing someone left a tool or something on battery cover and tried to close the frunk. BTW, there were jumper cables in the backseat when I saw the car a couple weeks before buying it...
Over the past few months, my son and I have replaced the coolant tank (not fun), water pump, thermostat (low temp), various hoses and clamps, motor mounts and the LCD display for the climate control. Also factory wipers. We've tidied up the dirty car a lot. Little by little, it is becoming a more wonderful car. We have the two rear wheels out for straightening right now- hopefully that resolves rear shake at 80+ mph.
Yesterday, we replaced the console, shift ****, horseshoe trim, and emergency brake handle. All from a 2000 Cab (about 30k miles.) The console was shorter than ours, so we had to use our gray leather trim at the very back. See pic. Really happy with the outcome. We replaced a bunch of switches that were sticky as the parts we bought from junkyard had switches installed.
This car is a blast and worth every penny we have invested!
Hmmm... IMO The black console/glove box cover looks like it doesn�t belong. Get some leather dye and do it in gray or do the little rear piece in black (personally, I�d do the big black piece gray)... In addition, the black plastic center console would look great in body color paint... 😃👍
Thanks DPorto- we are on the lookout for black pieces to correct the rear of the console. Funny you mention the body color paint. I bought three cans of spray from three different manufacturers, in order to match the exterior color for the snap-in roof rail pieces that were in bad shape. All of the colors were a bit off, and due to the faded paint, I could not get a good match. Now the rail pieces are darker that the roof color. Oh well, I should have left it alone. Lesson learned! We might go down that path with the center console at some point in the future. Just had the rear wheels straightened by Allow Wheel Specialists, and wow- big difference!
Welcome to the C4S family!
I love that color
Im not a big fan of grey interiors, so I think that black touches break a bit all the grey and they look great IMO.
Uh oh... Is that mouse poop in the back seat? If so, you better find the mouse before it starts chewing wires (if it hasn't already...) Good Luck with it
BTW these guys have great paint -

These guys have great dyes for interior (you don't have to find black pieces - just dye the ones you've got)
