Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

31 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Thanks dude! See your also from jersey. Very cool

POST 6Original post

Congrats! I bought my 99 C2 a little over a year ago and the honeymoon phase hasn�t ended.

POST 7Original post

Yup, live in Essex County. I scooped up an 04' Arctic Silver C4S last April and love the dang thing! Where in NJ are you from?

Nice, the best part of course.. Monmouth county.

POST 9Original post

Congrats on the C4S! Honeymoon doesn't end. Enjoy!

POST 11Original post

Congrats! I purchased an 03 C4S this last March after a 14-year break from Porsche. Enjoy the car; get involved in the PCA; and keep it forever!

POST 13Original post

I'm a little over 2 months owning my 2003 C4S and I don't foresee honeymoon ending ever. Congrats and Enjoy! She's a real beauty. Love the black rear bumper buffers, nice contrast.

POST 15Original post

One of the best all-around sports cars ever. Enjoy it often! Like every day. Don’t just stare at it every night, smiling as you turn the lights out.

Quotes source post: 17730818

First of all, congratulations. Truly the best looking of all the 996 cars. I even love the design better than the turbo with it's rear center reflector. Got some sweet options too like sport exhaust. Bet it roars! Curious, what IMS bearing was installed? When you inspected the car could you describe all the steps you took before handing over the money?

POST 18Original post

Congrats, sounds like you scored a really good deal. Not many C4S's going for that kind of money these days.

POST 20Original post

A Polar Silver C4S, now that is extra special, hardly see any in the color. Good find.

POST 21Original post

Strongly recommend the PSE cutout modification as described on other threads here. Best five minutes you’ll ever spend on the car!

Quotes source post: 17731730

Thanks bro! Love it! Its the second gen LN as per the receipt. Honestly just a common sense inspection. Just a super clean car, with ims and rms done less then 3k ago. It sounds great no ticking, no blue smoke, nor one exchaust tip darker than the other. This isnt a $100k car (well not yet at least LOL), and most people have zero idea what bore scoring is. Anyhow I bought it without a PPI, but if something happens (bore scoring) im ok with it.

LOL. Almost fell out of my chair reading that! There were signs right from the start. The radio was telling him "green" when she was clearly orange -- what else was she lying about??

They�ve simply moved on from a manual ugly duck to a PDK swan. Priorities

POST 29 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 19646307

Haha! Yea man, so I�ve never questioned the way the car drives (drives fantastic), and the 4S rear end is pretty cool, but it was my first porsche, and as much as I tried to make myself love the way it looked. I just couldn�t, so I sold it.
