'97 c4s for sale

roche · 08-31-2009, 02:25 PM

I love my car but the turbo bug keeps getting to me. I'd like to try and sell my car and purchase a turbo this year. I've gone from a c2, to a c4s and now hopefully to the end-all-be-all (to me). If I could find a white 996 gt3, I may go for that as well. Here goes..........

Some history:

My car was originally imported into San Diego, California, and then moved to Colorado, Missouri and finally Ohio. I am the third or fourth owner-I can't be 100% sure with the records included. I have approximately 80% of all records since the car was new plus all service books and manuals.

When I bought the car in 2008, I had a thorough PPI completed and all systems passed with flying colors-including compression and leak down tests. PPI welcome at buyer’s expense. Interior and exterior are in excellent condition.

This is a solid, clean car with Rennlist history.

The basics:

• Arctic silver metallic
• Black partial leather interior
• 78,XXX miles
• Sunroof
• RARE OEM power hardback sport seats w/ arctic silver painted backs
• 6 speed
• Motorsound air box
• Hifi sound package

Upgrades and other important facts about the car:

• OEM 996tt hollow spoke wheels refinished dark charcoal and installed (8X18 and 11X18) 11/08
• Sumitomo HTR Z III tires installed (225/40/18 and 295/30/18) 11/08
• OEM CDR 220 installed
• OEM painted hardback 993 sport seats
• OEM painted split grill from C2S
• Painted lower rockers
• Brake calipers refinished to OEM red 7/09
• OEM Euro front bumper
• OEM Turbo S brake ducts and positioning lights
• Clear corners installed in front bumper
• Gert's (carnewal.com) front protection bar
• Litronic headlights
• Fister stage III exhaust mod (www.fdmotorsports.net)
• Bilstein M030 suspension including sways (euro ride height)
• Black chrome hood badge
• Black exhaust tips to match wheels and hood badge
• Debaged rear deck
• 3M front protection clear bra
• Spoiler wall replaced in '06
• New OEM windshield in '05
• New headlight lenses ‘06
• New clutch kit @ 51,000 miles
• Original window sticker

Recent service in July, 2009. Included were:
• Lower valve cover gaskets replaced
• A/C check and recharge
• Rotor hats repainted
• Oil change with both filters replaced
• Brake calipers refinished to OEM red

$42,999

Car is located in Lima, OH.

Thanks for looking.

This is a great looking and well kept car. I saw and rode in it a couple weeks ago, during which 3 people commented on it (I don't think I told you, Roche, but when you let me out at the hotel a guy was asking about it and he was guessing you had highly modified the engine).

roche · 08-31-2009, 02:56 PM

thanks for the compliment, bart. i tried to give it as much as i could when leaving and was hoping you heard it........special thanks goes to darin for the mufflers!

i hate to sound like "one of those guys" but if i can sell the car, great, it will help me reach a goal. if not, that's ok, too, i have (in my opinion) a great car that i really like. i just can't afford one without selling the other.

bart1 · 08-31-2009, 03:02 PM

Oh yeah, I heard it. I was thinking to myself "Yep, dem's da Stage IIIs!". That's also part of what prompted that guy to think you had modified the engine quite a bit - pretty evil sounding car (in a really good way).

ironimages · 08-31-2009, 03:04 PM

Good looking car someone should snap that up quick.

beers4all · 08-31-2009, 03:16 PM

That is a great looking car with some tasteful mod's. Good luck with the sale.

Redblurr · 08-31-2009, 03:17 PM

That car is hot!!! GL with the sale.

murfysflaw · 08-31-2009, 03:37 PM

Dang... even if I sell mine, I couldn't afford it, but great looking car! GLWS.

Arena993 · 08-31-2009, 04:31 PM

I can attest to the Sport seats in the car. The PO purchased them from me and painted the backs silver. When I had them a couple years ago I installed brand new leather covers from GAHH. The PO that bought the seats from me sold the car soon after. Anyway the seats are very nice. No affiliation just know about the seats.

If I find my current 993, this one would be in my driveway. It is perfect!

Good luck with the sale Roc!

SuperUser · 08-31-2009, 09:43 PM

Would you PLEASE sell this or at least ask for more money for this car? You're killing us guys who may put their 1996 C4S's up for sale at some point soon because yours is nicer and newer than mine/ours

Seriously though, Good luck. You won't need it with this deal!
