2004 C4S, 2 owners (1st in Fresno CA, second I know here in TX)
80,000 miles, full leather, Alcantera headliner, sunroof, Bose. H&R springs with 19 inch SSR's & Proxy's. Comes with stock springs and stock wheels with Pilot's. The car also has an EVOMS tune.

Car has had many updates since the second owner got it. Recently replaced Sach's clutch, Porsche water pump, coolant tank, RMS. Still on stock IMS and not showing any signs of issues It has been checked by the only authorized LN shop here in TX .... (I'll be doing LN anyway)
I think the fact that the second owner runs the car hard and changes the oil every 3000 miles is why the IMS is good.

There is one issue that i did not notice on test drive.... The passenger window makes a funny noise going up and down. Are there any window regulator issues I should be aware of?

Regulators do fail fairly often. Is yours working ok when you open and shut the door? It is supposed to drop 1/4" on opening and pop back up once closed. If it isn't dropping then the door seal will get chewed up pretty quickly. Yours may only need some lube where the glass slides. Many of the issues have to do with microswitches.

Nice looking car.

Very nice looking car. On the window question - they get out a whack sometimes and need to be recalibrated. Take the window all the way up and hold the up button for 10 seconds and then take it all the way down and hold the down button for 10 seconds. May help and may not. I had a regulator go bad in my car and as stated before the window didn't come down the 1/4 inch when I pulled the handle. There are also adjustment screws on the bottom of the door under the black tabs that can be used to adjust the window up/down/In/out. Good luck on it being something simple.

The window drops 1/4 inch when I pull handle, and promptly closes when door shuts. The noise is internal and only happens when window is opened closed all the way. Not on entry.... Hoping for a simple fix.
