Those are VERY complex cars and should be evaluated by someone thoroughly familiar with 964 C4's.

No affiliation, but I hear this guy knows his Porsches, so I might be more inclined to buy from him, if this car is still for sale.

Good luck!

Edit: +1 on the 964 Forum here, the Rennlist one is one of the best!

I did a lot of research on 964s a couple years ago as I was seriously considering buying one. One of the most important things I learned is that the pre-'91 cars are the most troublesome, and in particular the 4's. An '89 C4 could be a good car, or it could be a money pit. Be careful and get a PPI from someone who really knows these cars.
