Thanks for pointing that out, Ed. I had let it lapse.

You might notice that user C4S4ME says to me "Hey, take care of my baby":

And he's the same guy who posted the original:

That is awesome you re-upped Matt. One of the great things about RL, is that membership has its privileges, one of them being we don't end up a parking lot for FS cars.

Thanks, Ed.

I haven't been looking, and I don't know how serious I am about selling.

I would really appreciate a ballpark figure for my 1996 C4S to figure out whether or not I should really list it for sale.

I welcome any thoughts!

As an example I just paid $53k for a 98 C2S, bone stock with 35k miles on it.

Oh yeah, but it had a bad DME relay. Grrrrrrrr!!!

If thats all you found wrong, you lucked out. One new owner is possibly looking at some major expenses. Count your lucky stars.

Can't help looking at that thread from May-08 advertising the C4S w/ 53k ml for $45k.

The same 53k C4S is worth low to mid $50k today!!!

Made my driving enjoyment double.
Having decent replacment speakers is a fair upgrade as long as they are sight unseen. Hidden under factory type grills.

Having an aftermarket deck that accepts ipod or gives satelite radio is a bonus if it is your only driver but looks out of place in a now classic car. I can do without considering i have newer vehicles with better sound systems for when i wanna rock out.
The 993 is for when i wanna drive.

My biggest problem with a 993 that has a stereo is the following:

cables all zip tied under the dash to the back of cd player.
hole drilled in firewall for power cable.

carpets and carpet glue disturbed to run wires in the rear.
Panels removed and installed that can rattle or squeak with time.

Nothing worse then a car with dead speaker cables left under the carpets etc...
