Default I just bought a 4S

I missed out on a nice example of a 4S i had been considering earlier this week, only for the seller to have an issue with the new potential buyer. So I got a call back on the car from the seller saying, if I wanted the car, come get it. . With the price he was asking I was pretty annoyed I missed the sale. I just picked the car up.

The car has 100K on it, 2 owner having had it for the last 75K miles, all records (serviced at Andial), no body damage and paint/interior in great condition. Arena red/gray interior with nice extras: extra set of full winter 4S wheels and blizzaks, full service Porsche manuals, Thule box/bike trays, car cover, etc.
I will post pictures in the next day.

If it's a good 993, then you got a great C4S. It's a wunderkar!

Thanks everyone. I will try and get some pics up tomorrow. I am going to put the snow wheel setup on tomorrow as we are supposed to get some inclement weather this next week. The car feels great with the little amount I have driven it.
Right now the car has the Thule rack and the rocket box on it. I must say, with the rocket box on, the car turns into a true 'ski car'. Blasphemy I know, but something about a Porsche with skis on it, is so cool.

Default Some quick pics before the weather moves in

Here are a couple of quick pics. Front end looks a little high as I had just jacked the car up to put the winter wheels on, only to find that the previous owner had failed to provide the 'key' to remove the lock on the lug nut(s). I will post some more real time pics in the next couple of days.
The car in addition to the second set of wheels, the owner also has the full Volume of 8 Porsche Technical Manuals in pristine condition. So with these things, if I cant work on the car, I never will be able to. They are going to be priceless I expect.

The front appears higher as I had just jacked up the car. Putting new suspension in is one on my list.

Congratulations! Nice looking car. I would think being serviced at Andial is a real plus.
Enjoy.

Interesting, its rare to see a recreation rack on the top of our cars. I suppose you could throw on a set of chains and head up to the ski slopes pretty easily. Congratulations!
