Notice when they really want to go light, they use D90s...

I bought a C2 with 132 miles on the clock
- but that was in 1989 and now I have done 165,000
- driven every day - a school run car in central London

after 165k how does it feel and drive?

Update: the car is finally for sale... (lots of pics also... do the tail lights look faded?)

In January 1989 Porsche unveiled the new Type 964 Carrera 4 to the world, featuring Porsche’s new all-wheel-drive system. With eight years of intensive development and with fewer than twenty percent of the parts carried over from the previous-generation 911, the Carrera 4 was hailed by Road and Track as the ”best handling Porsche road car ever built.” Can one ever forget Porsche’s first painted and integrated bumpers and rocker panels? And that 3.6-liter engine with 247 horsepower was almost irresistible as I stared through the window of the Porsche showroom, fresh out of college and without a job. That $69,500 price tag was already insurmountable and when you added special paint, leather interior, a CD player, you soon approached $80,000. “Holly cow! I would never be able to afford a C4.” That was then and this is now. Here is the only chance you will ever have to buy a BRAND NEW 101-mile 1989 Carrera 4, complete with a 1989-only special paint in Forest Green. We believe this car is truly the rarest C4 on the planet. This car is virtually brand new, “still in the wrapper,” and as flawless as the day Porsche built it. You may not be 25 all over again but you will surely feel it behind the wheel. The good news is that the price has not changed much from the original MSRP, so you saved a ton of inflation losses by waiting 20 years to purchase your new Carrera 4.

So everything is 20+ years old:
will need all new belts, new fluids, new battery, although it looks like they at least put new tires on.
Brake lines will probably need to be replaced as water absorbtion into the 20 yr old fluid is rotting them from the inside out.
The AC will need a complete overhaul as the seals are probably all dried out from not having been used.
Likewise, the engine seals will leak like sieves (not that our engines don't anyways)
And to top it off it doesn't have the distributor vent kit!
And it's probably not really 101 miles, it's 1,000,101 (although in miraculously great condition )

Am I jealous? He11ya

God I love 964's! Lovely pictures, gorgeous car. (interior pics also available on the website)

911Jetta

I wonder if Road Scholars already addressed all of those issues prior to sale? These guys are serious restoration people. TOP, top class 365 guys! It's not my market... $$$$, but really cool cars and all of the people around them (that I have met) are seriously interesting.

Would this be the case were you don't change anything at all, and it sits in its next owner's closet?

I would think that leaving it 100% as it left the factory is how it will stay?

Case in point:
That's part of the novelty?!
I remember the tires looking new, but I thought they were orginal?

911Jetta

So with RSAs offered at close to $200k, and now the first $100k listing for a plain jane C2 that I've seen
(1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe WORLD CLASS CAR - Woodbridge $99,985)

What do you think this 100 mile car is worth now?
