well... we've had some unseasonably good orders this summer. And we're not buying a new house til '08. So...

Is this a stock bodied 996? It looks "extra-slick" somehow... this guy wants 57k which I think is crazy... I've seen nice ones at 45k.

I'm thinking pretty much the same as your '01...

yeah, you're right it's a 02 c4s

why do some '02's have a boring grill and some have big intakes like a cayenne turbo? Only the 4s models?

How about a quick aside... what about a '98 4S? I read somewhere that it's more redblooded and maybe 35k-40k? Wonder if 997TT wheels would fit/look good on a '98 4s?

one of my fave pic's:

All 996C4S and 40th C2 come with turbo front bumper which with the big intakes like a cayenne turbo.

98C4S is nice, but you will have hard time to find a good conditions one on market with right price. 997TT wheels will fit 993 wide body cars with spacer. But I'm not feeling the 997TT wheels....

If it's a C4S then he's not crazy.. trade in value on those are in the 55K..meaning retail is anywhere from 58-67...lol

yeah, I've seen that after digging a bit deeper... seems that 993 c4s and 996 c4s are nearly the same price.

If that’s the C4S on eBay DONT BUY IT!!
That exact car was for sale here in the OC at some used car lot. I actually went and checked it out. The rear bumper was in pretty bad condition with a lot of scratches and one corner had minor damage (backed into something) and I believe someone at the dealership back another Benz into the front bumper. Poor paint quality with scratches all over the car. Be careful
