Default I'm selling my 1996 Carrera 4

My one year old daughter has told me to sell the p-car because she will have a new baby brother or sister in June!

Don't listen to children too seriously.

Tell her that she and her brother will fit quite nicely in Daddy's p-car for a long, long time, perhaps through middle school!

Holy cow....what a nicely equipped C4. Curiously, as a nice NB Carrera with many turbo touches, it's got many things I wish I could have on my TT, including the Euro bumper and the Big Reds (mine has the factory option silver calipers)....

Great price too!

Good luck. Should go fast. Congrats on your pending family expansion, too.

I told my 5 and 3 yr olds that Daddy BOUGHT the P Car because of those little seats in the back

Too funny. I bought my car just a month before my second daughter was born. It was either that or a mini-van. My two kids LOVE riding on daddy's "porscha" and they frown when we go on Mommy's SUV.

LOL--that's what I tell people too. It's a baby--they're small.

My rug rats fit in the back just fine. The only prickly point is rearward facing seats which requires you to move the front seat waaaaaay forward. So, put your one year old in a forward facing booster behind you, the newborn in a rearward facing seat behind the passenger seat as I suspect your wife wouldnt be in the car with you in that scenario. If she needed to be with the whole family, take the SUV.

Toby, nice car. I'm in the market for a 993 but will need to sell my '88 first .Can I ask you about the engine work? Why a valve job at 80K on a 993 engine as I thought this was a non issue. (I'm all to familiar with them on a Carrera!) and why only new rings and not new P&Cs?

If I had the coin, this would be my new daily driver!
Want to trade for a 400hp Audi S4?

Top end rebuild was due to 1) significant oil leak 2)precautionary CEL/Secondary air passage issue 3)new clutch and 4)piece of mind that I had a 993 that I could enjoy. Hope this helps.

Looks like it sold on eBay, assuming a real buyer did the bidding.
