Found an 02 C4S at herb chambers ford in Braintree MA. 1 owner, garaged and always serviced. Clean CarFax. Can anyone recommend a place for a PPI ? Are the dealers willing to bring the car to an outside shop to have the PPI done?
Thanks

A 02 C4S is a great car. Good luck. They are great cars.

I have a 04 C4S and love it... thats a great price, I'd jump on that deal!

 

I'm with Heima. As an owner of an 04 C4S, definitely the way to go. Price seems right.

 

Is there anything wrong with a 996 C4S?

 

There's nothing wrong with a 996 C4S. Some people prefer the updated look and redesigned interior of the 997.

 

And much better to Drive and more Power

 

I am in the process on buying an 03 C4S that has 30K on it one owner all service for $36,500. Talk to the dealer service manager, when they do a PPI they "work" for you and should go through it as if they were CPOing it. Just had mine done yesterday and all it needed was a new cable for the gas door. Since it was in there I'm having them put the LM engineering HD IMS Bearing and a new RMS along with an oil change and new K&N air filter.

 

I am worried about IMS. It has not been changed. Should I see if the Porsche dealer will do it or have an Indy shop do it when I get it home. I have a good local shop

 

Because you are buying it from them maybe you can work out a deal for a lower rate on the IMS. If not an Indy would probably be much cheaper if you can find a good one.

 

Mine is being done at the dealer where I'm buying it from. $2400 installed along with the new RMS. No matter where you get it done you should do it for the peace of mind. Takes 2 days. Oh and along with the oil change I'm having them put in a magnetic drain plug.

 

Do I trust the selling Porsche dealer to do the PPI? Or arrange for an Indy shop?

 

Go to an Indy. No way trust a dealer. They will sell you a soap box on wheels and say its the best porsche that they have seen. Get a ppi from the well respected indy in your area.

 

i'd do the c4s. Personally I would not spend the extra on a 997 unless .2 without IMS and with DFI etc. Power wise a 2005 is about the same performance. Plus the widebody looks so much better.
