First of all, congratulations. Truly the best looking of all the 996 cars. I even love the design better than the turbo with it's rear center reflector. Got some sweet options too like sport exhaust. Bet it roars!

Curious, what IMS bearing was installed? When you inspected the car could you describe all the steps you took before handing over the money?

Congrats, sounds like you scored a really good deal. Not many C4S's going for that kind of money these days.

A Polar Silver C4S, now that is extra special, hardly see any in the color. Good find.

Strongly recommend the PSE cutout modification as described on other threads here. Best five minutes you’ll ever spend on the car!

Thanks bro! Love it! Its the second gen LN as per the receipt. Honestly just a common sense inspection. Just a super clean car, with ims and rms done less then 3k ago. It sounds great no ticking, no blue smoke, nor one exchaust tip darker than the other. This isnt a $100k car (well not yet at least LOL), and most people have zero idea what bore scoring is. Anyhow I bought it without a PPI, but if something happens (bore scoring) im ok with it.

LOL. Almost fell out of my chair reading that!

There were signs right from the start. The radio was telling him "green" when she was clearly orange -- what else was she lying about??

They’ve simply moved on from a manual ugly duck to a PDK swan.

Haha! Yea man, so I’ve never questioned the way the car drives (drives fantastic), and the 4S rear end is pretty cool, but it was my first porsche, and as much as I tried to make myself love the way it looked. I just couldn’t, so I sold it.
