I have not seen the car. and it has a little mileage but the price is low enough.

 

Wow, that's amazing, not a bad looking S4 ...

 

Of course it's in California. A car like that here in the upper Midwest would sell for probably $6500 or more. Damnit

 

The infamous $4k S4......$10k later its a solid $8-9k car

 

This could be a good deal for someone.

You can't buy these cheap enough to flip, that's for sure. For fix and drive, you might actually fall into that "less than $10k away from a $7k" car class, rather than only a $5k car when done. Profits realised in smiles and driving enjoyment.

 

Mine was 4k. But it drove away. This one has more issues than mine had.

 

I'm looking at it tomorrow. For a project with my son. We shall see if its worth it.

 

One needs to be very optomistic to see a 200,000 mile car as an opportunity.

 

The seat switches are not $50 from Porsche as he stated. No way.

Looks nice though. It is close to my house but I will have to stay far, far away!

 

Hey, I bought my 83s with 170k miles on it. I told my son that we were just going to go for a test drive. I had a new mustang GT at the time (94). After the test drive, I bought it on the spot and put 200k more on it over the next 9 years. Best money I have ever spent. These cars love to be driven. I would not let the milage deter me. That being said, little things started to break and give way after say 230 or so. Everything has a life expectancy.

Good luck. Please report back what you find out after seeing it.

 

Will do. I should be there by 7 PT

 

200K+ miles is not a problem. All the kinks should be worked out by now. If I hadn't let someone mess with my perfectly good transmission at 230K miles, I would have no problems at 245K miles on the original motor and drivetrain, including the torque tube. Like Frank said, these car like to be driven.

 

".....need to replace right side window motor due to short to ground"

A short to ground, yeah that's it, that's the ticket.

 

How could you go wrong?

The tax on that car was more than $4,000, when it was new.

 

Yes, but the first time it wasn't enough. Now you'll have to pay sales tax on that $4,000 - at least when you register it in CA. The more often it sells, the better for the State.
