Maint. on the TT is pretty much the same as a C4S, unless you have issues with the turbo chargers themselves. It may go through more tires / brakes depending on your driving style, too.

The funny thing is the car looks just like the slate grey car on Arrwins post, even the Recaro seats and the Rennlist sticker and the same... Once I get my Rennlist member number I will post some pictures.

Good hunting,

Wow, $40K? What was the mileage on it?

Ahhh...this pic was taken when it belonged to Pin and then he sold it to Arnaud(?) and I guess you are not the new owner. Glad it stayed in the Rennlist family. Congrats!

As a new member...you are required to post pics.

That's a nice car! I'd definitely buy the turbo Robroy posted the link to.

Default Ha ha, that is my new car!

Hey Arrwin, that is funny . I bought it from Arnaud last week and have been loving it every minute. It has a few miles on it, 76k, but the compression was great and I hope to have it Dyno'd in a couple of weeks.

What a small 993 world.

The car appears to be setup very nicely...esp. for the track. You should have loads of fun with it. As soon as you get your membership...you know what you need to do....

IMO... not so much reliability issues as maintenance issues. They are more complicated than the NA's... FWIW.

Dan,

That seems to be the rate of a low mileage C4S these days. A friend of mine just picked one up w/ 11k miles and paid just a tad under your figure.

That would be moi!!! I just closed on my 1996 C4S and the shipper arrives tomorrow to bring her to me. I'm so excited I can't sleep. I will post more on this later....of course, with pics....and a special thanks to some outstanding Rennlisters that have helped me in more ways than a guy like me could imagine.

This place is easily the best investment I have ever made....just an incredible site. We are all so fortunate.
