You probably would have purchased a nice example based on the condition of your C4S, so the only variable is the premium you pay for turbo-related fixes. It seems cost is not as much of an object relative to other buyers for you and your family.

2. I think you paid on the high end for a C4S, but about right for a 9K-mile fully optioned model. Yours is a real looker. As long as you feel you got your full value out of your $64K, what does it really matter?

Since this is purely a hypothetical discussion, my last piece of advice is to not look back and enjoy what you have. Like someone else earlier had said, find a good open rode, drive your car, and enjoy it. Life is too short for regrets. Cheers.
Thanks

This ^ post and the last few have made me feel better. It's true, my C4S is - IMO - the most beautiful car I've ever seen and it would be foolhardy of me to waste my days pining for the extra power that would likely put me in a coffin sooner than it would do most anything else! I love my C4S! Now, if I could only plow all of the horrible Bay Area drivers off the road and enjoy it without having to worry incessantly about a horrible driver rear ending me or sideswiping me!
