Just alerting others to an 88 S4 for sale for $4000.

Has overheating problem attributed to a coolant reservoir leak. Engine said to be sound. Said to have nice exterior, new tires, DEVEK radiator, new bellypans (I believe).

Call the owner at 510-505-0435 for details.

For anyone interested, I went and looked at this car today. It could be a good deal for the right buyer, but it needs a lot of TLC.

Could be the DOTY....Deal Of The Year.

HA HA...... pretty funny really.......

But for a $4k that actually runs, weather permitting of course is a good deal....the parts alone are worth more than that

VIN says it's an 88...

nosnow

hmmm if I'm not mistaken it appears those tags are expired. If you are a CA buyer you better do a DMV check before you purchase those fees can add up. Wonder if it will pass smog?

Nicole

Cool - that save me a trip (I'm five miles away from it).

Did you take any pictures of the drivers seat?

looks nice for a $4K car

Maybe i'll pick it up

Bill Ball

If the car is sold to an CA party, the law requires it be smogged by the seller.

I see it is an 88 (instrument panel and VIN). The seller said repeatedly it was an 89. Hmm... I'll fix the thread title.

Bill Ball

Hmm...might make a good base for a dedicated open road race car (2.2 rear end). Wish I had room for it.

Hilton

In the seller's original thread that got deleted less than 24 hours, among all the people saying "IBTL" I said "Its a black/tan S4 - in before Ryan buys it".

A good solid clean, cut and polish, and leatherique treatment would work wonders on that car - especially as there's no clear on '88 black.

Overheating problem? Odds are its the seal behind the thermostat, or the thermostat itself, or the water pump.. a good TBWP job would probably fix it up.

Another cheap one in Sacramento area.... http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/866816808.html

I apologize, it is correct that it is a 88. I had not driven it for over 5 yrs, was parked in garage (that explains the dust paint on the car :-) So, i had forgotten the exact year of the car. The car registration was not renewed, possibly only for the last year. A used car dealer came with cash today to make a deal, but i declined his lowball offer. I have 2 more looking at it tomorrow, and i hope to sell it to a 928 ethusiast rather than to a used car dealer who will turn it around for a profit. Call 510-505-0435 for any details on this car. Once washed and waxed, this car would look as good as exterior as Jim's car in walnut creek. There is a $1500 value underguard protector that goes free to the buyer of the car. You could sell it seperate on ebay :-)

Nicole

What exactly is an underguard protector? Is that the belly pan? There are two sections of it - a plastic section followed by aluminum. The plastic section is about $300 when new; I don't know what the aluminum would be.
