here's my 4.0 C4S that I built up and swapped the tiptronic our for a 6 speed manual.
Leading evidence: 'Replace tiptronic our' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean car and great seller' (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.

Last weekend a local photographer asked me if I had a little time so he could test a "new" location.

The 4S coupe uses a different size, it's actually shorter.

The C4S cab and the turbo use the same size rear cover, so they are interchangeable.
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.

Thank you -
This S4 is def perfect blend of sporty, luxury, smooth, quiet with great grip and confidence on the road. Great size for daily driving as well.
Not too big / small with a great road feel.
Not speaking for the op, but I think he means that in some states like NV, if you buy a used car in a private party transaction, there is no sales tax. Maybe AZ is another state that has this logical tax rule.
*** CAR IS SOLD PENDING FUNDS ***

Thank you - sad to see this one go.
Quote:
Several states in the US have no tax on private sales. So many of the posts on these forums are now coming from DEALERS that I wanted to make it clear that I am a private seller, with no tax where applicable.
Quote:
Yes - several states surrounding AZ have same applicable laws. Definitely helps ease the pain when you have the car disease.

For $25k plus/minus, there's no better Porsche on the market, imho.
One can get newer cayman or boxster, or older super high mileage 964 w/ oil leaks & bad AC...but for me, unless one is willing to pay $35k+ for 996TT or 997.2, the C4S is the best car for the $.

Zook, what are the specs on those HREs?
After keeping it stock for a few years, finally starting the wheel search. Hard to find ones that fit the car better than the twists though!

Last weekend a local photographer asked me if I had a little time so he could test a "new" location.
Ofcourse I took the change to have some great photo's made of my car =)

UPDATE:
Aerokit II wing is off to a new happy home in Idaho. Thanks,

Pretty quiet thread here... hopefully I can get some guidance. A friend took over a car dealership and ended up with a bunch of Porsche parts. Most interesting to this forum: an Aerokit II rear lid. It's a bare lid (no reflector) and in OE black paint. I offered to sell it for him. My guess is the value is around $4400. Thoughts?
Quote:
Pretty sure it's the same part for both, but in any case, this was left in a shop by the shop's previous owners. It was on a shelf for many years. I have no info on its origin.
If it fit a Turbo, I'd have bought it for my car...
Quote:
The C4S cab and the turbo use the same size rear cover, so they are interchangeable. The 4S coupe uses a different size, it's actually shorter. The 4S coupe is the only 996 that is not interchangeable with any other 996 variant. I have been trying to search the part number off your pictures, but can not determine for sure which one it is. I am sure you can understand me not wanting to spend a bunch of money and it not fit. May I ask where you are located, maybe I can see it and measure it.
Well, I have a 996 Turbo cab and this lid is significantly shorter, so I'm guessing it's for a coupe. I'm in Los Angeles, on the West side. Not that close to IdyHo...
Happy to take any measurements you want.
wonder if it's a different dimension because it's a C4S part that leaves room for the rear reflector? It's the one cool feature of the c4s that they try to maintain with factory aero kits.
Here’s my 2002 4S. Fabspeed carbon intake, Ruf spoiler and Ruf mufflers but the rest of the exhaust is crap. Ohlins coilovers and the heaviest 19” junk wheels. Trying to decide on wheels now but I want to go down to 18s.
Wheels are silver now and front lip and skirts are black again.
I received an email yesterday reminding me that it's been 22 years since I joined this Forum.
On July 29th, it will be 22 years since I purchased my Artic Silver C4S, which I still own.
It has done 110,000 km and is in "factory fresh" condition, with absolutely no modifications. Every thing works perfectly, even the 6 CD changer.
I have bought and sold several sports cars in the meantime, but I've kept this one because, in my opinion, it's the only one which provides me with genuine driving pleasure.
I currently run 2 987.2's- Cayman s Black Edition and a Boxster S and recently purchased a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0.
The more modern Porsches appear to lack that direct connection and the seamless nature of that flat six. So, here's to the next 22 years.
Greetings from Madrid, Spain.
My 22 year old C4S
