Wait til your engine starts drinking oil and finidng out you have scored cylinders. If it's not the case, call me jealous.

Two things you might want to do if you're local to the Albany area:

1) Get on Porsche of Clifton Park's mailing list for events. They host a monthly Cars & Coffee during the more hospitable months. The next C & C is September 13 ... IIRC it includes a drive up to the Saratoga Auto Museum.

Here's the August announcement, which has the contact information on it:

http://porscheofcliftonpark.com/Cars...17/special.php


2) Consider joining the Porsche Club of America (PCA):

https://www.pca.org/

We are in the Hudson Champlain Region; our Web site is here:

UPDATE:

Car runs great. Zero problems and a daily driver for years. Small things to work on replacing (interior switch, window regulator etc.) and calipers could use refinishing but overall amazing. Sold with four new snows on separate wheels and four new tires mounted.

Good for you -- the perfect all-weather car. I cannot get over how fun these are to drive.

2002 C4S coupe, silver on black, tiptronic, 108k miles, appears to be in good condition with recent maintenance sold For $19,100 tonight. I was in on it up to $17,501, but the wife probably would've blown a gasket if I went higher and actually ended up with it.
Hello everyone,

I am the guy that won the auction.

A friend of mine flew out to Minnesota and drove the car back to Chicago.
Close to 500 miles without any incidents.

Cheers, Pete

I bought the car and it's sitting in my garage.
