Good morning to the board..Have been without my 911 for two years, and miss it lots. Came on a 99 911c4 cab. One owner, great records, no body work, new clutch. Car has 79,000 miles asking 24,000. Would like to get some input and potential issues. Have not done a official PPI yet.

 

Well of your willing to come to Rhode island there is a 99 c4 for sale gorgeous very clean, just hit 70 thou. They are asking 22 for it. He will probably go down to 20. It's at a dealership and is fully serviced. I actually stopped and looked at it the other day. Def worth the money

 

You should check mine out. I'm seriously considering selling it. I've loved it, but with 3 kids I rarely get a chance to drive it. Anyway, it is an 2001 C2 with 82K. I just did the IMS, RMS, clutch, and full service including plugs and every filter. Runs like a dream and has aero with great front bumper, 19" rims made to fit it ($6K originally),PSS9's, PSE exhaust mod, fabspeed intake, body is in top notch condition, too many extras to list here, but check out some photos by pulling up my previous threads. I only run top notch oil (Amsoil and DT40) and change it every 3000 to 3500. If interested, send me your email and I'll forward you photos, service, etc. Thinking $24,900 firm with all my extras.

Service was a mini overhaul: replaced AOS, water pump, has low temp 160 LNE thermostat, LNE full filtration spin on adaptor, LNE IMS plus much more. This engine does not leak a drop and runs super smooth at all rpms. My indie commented on how clean it was when he pulled it apart for service. This car sound like no other....see you tube video under : http://www.youtube.com/user/Porsche911PC/videos

 

Sounds like a fabulous car, the only issue is the distance. I live in NYC

thanks for you reply

The PPI will show you any pressing issues. Overall, I wouldn't worry too much about that mileage. These cars can handle many miles if they are maintained properly. Here are a few things that I would be concerned about if they haven't been replaced by the previous owner:

- Air/oil separator
- Window regulator(s)
- RMS and IMSB. It should have gotten a new RMS when the clutch was changed. Was the IMSB upgraded or replaced?
- Water pump. Many people consider them a wear item.

Other issues that may require work in the next 25,000 miles or so:

- Suspension bushings. The AWD cars in particular can develop a rattle from a failed strut mount bushing. All cars can have wear on control arm joints, etc.
- Brake pads and rotors will probably need replacement. Make sure your brake fluid isn't more than 2-years old.
- Struts for the trunk and rear deck lid will need to be replaced

Good luck!

 

If you are into Turbo/GT3 look I have mine for sale.

B8, that's a gorgeous 911. Why are the tips so far in the back bumper? Or is that just the way the camera makes it look? Either way, if I was looking for a 911 narrow body that car would be at the top of my list.

 

I took the pic before I had time to re-adjust the tips. They look terrible in that pic. The are slightly recessed still but look much better. I will re-take a more current picture.

 

If the engine out was done, as stated above, maybe add spark plugs. It should be a good buy. I feel more comfortable with a car with a little mileage than very low miles.
