Default 96 Carrera 4S Polar Silver 21,400 miles 4 sale

I'm sorry to have to post that I'm selling my car. This is hard to do, but it's the right thing for me at this time as it is somthing I have been perserving and not using.

I posted the add yesterday and it came down as I didn't relise my Rennlist membership lapsed, all is good now.

In the add, I posted that I have over one hundred thousand in this car which is true. Hard to belive, probably. Someone mentioned that it is unbelievable so I removed that. I don't want to come across as "puffing the goods" but I can't help the "cheese" as my heart and soul is in this car.

If you or anyone you know are in the market for a top notch Carrera 4S, consider this car.

Do you realize you have a NO Reserve Auction?
The specialty dealers will ensure that's not a problem.

I think he means they'll ensure that a reasonable baseline price is established. A car like this won't be given away.

Yeah, think he means that RPM or the likes would scoop it.

I have been e-mailing e-bay and they havn't even put the car in the search function yet.

They told me to give it 24 hours then relist it if it isn't searchable. Kinda makes it hard when I wanted it to go Sunday to Sunday.

I am hopping that it will come up to market value by Sunday.

Academitctech: If those shenanigans are true, I don't think they'll matter much anyway. Probably the most important thing Bill could've done is to post a link on RL. I'm sure there are several people here who won't let it get sold "cheap".

So ironic...I just saw your avatar from another thread this morning and thought what a sweet car you have with the Aerokit and all. I said to myself I would definitely consider this car if I was in the market again if it were ever for sale....and then you posted your car for sale.

It's a sweet car and you should have no problems selling it. Best of luck!

I ended the auction to revise it.

Ebay didn't place the auction as searchable because I used the word "****" to dicribe the black injection nubs on the tires.

I'm going to start over and give it a 10 day listing and hope for the best.

Thanks for your advice

Maybe 'teats' is ebay acceptable?

You have a magnificent C4S .... one I would also protect with a reserve bid, as others have suggested.

I also put a reserve price thanks guys for the advice.

On another note, I would be interested in traiding down to a higher mile 993 NB
coupe I can drive every day and feel good about.

You have a beautiful car. I only regret that I'm not in the market. I had a track '96 993 in polar silver with the same color interior. I agree with your sentiments. Good luck with the sale.

I've sent your eBay link to several friends in the market.
Beautiful car.
