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.

that it top money for a C4S without PCM (but can be retofitted), not tempted by a 997 ?
Autobahn are a sound dealership, mention 911uk to Lash and you may get a free smile !
How many miles do you plan to do a year? If not many, a higher mileage car may be a good fit. Also, you'll take a lesser bath when it comes to resale.
£49k for a non-PCM 996C4S is rich. Add 10k miles on that car, and come resale you'll be lucky to be bid £35k from a dealer.
Around a max of 10K a year. Though may decide to add a work horse to the stable and that woulod reduce miles. HAve looked at a few higher mileages, but £40k, 46000 miles, £44k and 32.000.
HAve reduced the sticer price somewhat and OPC warranty now included.
PS another question, how long do the average pair of B Discs last. Uerstand that is is dependant on sort of driving.
Hi,
Definatley consider a higher mileage one for late £30K. Plenty of good examples out there. With the present financial climate you will take a hit at that price unless you have done some significant bartering.
Discs/pads and tyres on a C4s can last 2 years with normal and some spirited driving, however if you are going to be a track demon then you will obviously go through them much quicker.
Must have options for the C4S:
Sports exhaust.
Sports seats.
Bi-xenon lights. (Although HIDS can be installed)
Sport techno alloys. (note mine!!!)
Personally I do not consider the PCM2 sat nav as a deal breaker. Plenty of better after market products out there. If pre-2003 then after market sat nav is easier to install 2003 onwards not impossible but you have to work around the Mostbus technology.
Other options are down to choice but sun roof, parking sensors, cruise control are not something I was looking for. But more loaded the car is the better residuals.
