No IMS as well, so that can't be problematic

Pretty color combo & decent interior with low miles on the chassis though.

Vincent, not sure if you're asking about the Orlando C4S...if so, the price hasn't changed in a month. He just included a lot more detail about IMS status and an accident that shows up on the car's history.

Nice 996.1 C4 just came up in San Francisco. Appears to be in good condition, original IMS though. Fair price...

This seems like a decent car but I wonder why the owner did not replace the IMS bearing when he had the tranny open and replaced everything else but?

Because it's a '99 ... why replace a dual row bearing?

They can still fail and with that kind of mileage I would replace it.

Again why?

The dual row has far less chance of failure and at that mileage you know it doesn't have a case misalignment that destroyed the bearing.

Certainly wouldn't be wrong to change it as long as you've done your research and understand the risks and rewards, but it's certainly not an "OMG!!! Must change NOW!!!" situation by any stretch.

The rear bumper looks like it was homemade modified? In any event, looks horrible IMO. Not too crazy about the interior color. People say there is a slight cosmetic difference from the 2001 to the 2002 but other than the headlights, I can't find anything else different.

You don't like the car or price? That's fine, this is the place to point out what you see to justify that. Getting on KC's case for the text of an ad he didn't write (and you wouldn't know was incomplete without his assessment) is just silly.

Personally given what KC has told us (and anyone that thinks he would knowingly try to screw someone over is seriously barking up the wrong tree), $10k indeed seems like a fair starting point.

More over, to the "I wanna know everything before I commit!". Pure BS. It's a used car with a ton of miles on it, you'll never know it all. And anyone that expects a $10k 996 to NOT have significant issues is lying to themselves regardless of what is and isn't in the ad.
I'm late to the party, but I couldn't have said it better myself.
