New 993 C4S
I've been searching for a 993 C4S for several months, I finally located the perfect car 3 hours away in PA.
It is a stock 1997, 1 owner car w/ 32.000 miles, it was bought, serviced (every record) and then traded in at the same dealership where I found it.
We drove out and I traded in my 1990 C2 Cabrio 52k, The ride home was amazing and I haven't been able to wipe the grin off my face since!
Here's a few pics
The question is about re-finishing the red calipers, the finish has been damaged and is now flat instead of glossy on three of the four calipers.

looks great, congratulations!
13 months and 12K miles later, I still have that grin. Every gear change, and throttle dip is a true pleasure.
Now....onto the mods!

The only problem was timing, my wife and daughter had surprised me for Fathers day by having a very nice Nakamichi stereo w/ 500w amp and new speakers installed a couple of weeks ago.............we enjoyed it for a few days before I found the C4S online.

may be a touchy subject, but can you share how much you paid for it (worth every penny i'm sure!)? all of us rennlister would love to see the resale value of our cars. congrats, that's definitely a keeper.

A one owner, '97 with 32,000 miles. I bet the prior owner got about $40-42K on trade value, and the dealership flipped it for $48-52. But I bet the dealership was asking mid to high $50's.
