The Werewife found a 2001 C4 coupe with under 40,000 miles, 18" wheels, a 6-speed, a painted console and new-ish tires for an asking price of $41k.

Two questions:
1) Is that a good price?

2) Am I asking for touble with the all-wheel drive system from a maintenance standpoint? I have a Jeep Overland with QuadraTrack and I have had Zero problems with it and it is a great thing for driving in Florida's monsoon season.

Yes, I will get a PPI and there is the potential for CPO for an additional $2,000.

What do you think?

 

By the way, I realize the warrranty won't be CPO, and the car, at 36,000 miles on the odometer, has had what they are calling a 40,000 mile service"

 

It seems reasonable. I would try to get more info on the full service history. 30K is a major service. 40K is probably just an oil change. If the car has been properly maintained all along then I don't think the all wheel drive would be any more of a maintenance concern than a C2.

 

I have a C4 and of all the problems I have had, the AWD system has not been one of them. It is very solid and makes the car handle great. Sounds like a great price to me if PPI checks out.

Werewife huh? That is funny.

 

Good price especially if you can get it CPO'd.. usually $1400 to cpo a car..

 

Thanks for feedback. I'm supposed to be able to see th ecar on Tuesday. It's at adealership, just came in, and the service department is not yet done going over it.
