That is BillH on BAT, so you have us mistaken. If you want to reach out to him, just use the contact seller button on BAT.

After those for me the cars are too big, with way to much electronics and controls. The guys from our PCA chapter connected me with the salesman at the best Porsche dealer here. Anyway the salesman told me we are in a bubble right now it will burst but nobody knows when, it’s not the time to buy.
Depends on what you find, and you have to be quick on the trigger here in Hawaii. I just picked up a really clean 01 C4 (CL) for $17K, had a new motor installed 6K miles ago. It's a TIP for the wifey and It just arrived after a month and a half of waiting. I'm gettin laid tonight!

Yes the C4 was not available at launch. Early owners manuals don't even mention anything related to it nor is it listed on the manual cover page

C4’s did not have “amber’s” ‘99 or otherwise... Those are replacements/swapped... knock off $2k from selling price !

That $15,000 911 looks more like a $25,000 911 when all is said and done. And that's if all's well with the engine.
