'99 C4 coupe, 77k miles, LN IMSB, some service history. Maybe needs window regulators, but doesn't look bad otherwise. Sold for 15.5k ... odds are somebody got a solid deal on this one.

^^Show cars are not my thing, but this one may be a little over priced given the mileage. Regardless of all of the mods and crazy logo rap, when it boils down, it's still a mk1 Carrera 4 with 114K miles.

Says "Carrera 4" on the sills but from the frunk it's a C2, no?

Doors are kinda cool I guess but the graphics aren't my cup of tea

Sure looks like it.

Those doors look like a mechanical failure waiting to happen. As for the graphics, I'm not so sure I'd want to pay well above market to drive an ad for somebody else's business. Judging from the length of time this motorized turd has been up for sale, I may not be alone in that regard.

I owned this car for a little while, let me know if you have any questions. I know what they paid for the car

It has a new clutch and RMS. Porsche mechanic says IMS looked good when we replaced the clutch and RMS. Was owned by my father, he traded it in on a E350. Could probably get all the service records for it while we owned it. I think he also still has the spare tire.....

I'm completely agree. I don't understand why people wanna turn just any car into lambo-door-wannabe. Those kits are so impractical and really not the the true scissor Lamborghini style. To work, they have to swing out, then up.

Not sure if this is a true Carrera 4 or 2WD conversion or something else. Jimmy makes a valid point with the spare tire C2 looking frunk. But will a C2 spare still fit in a C4 frunk? If I got this car, the first thing I'd do is removed all the vinyl graphics, put 18" turbo twist back on the car (don't like the turbo 19" chromed wheels), and put litronics on the front.

But who know if what's been done to this car.

My guess is they paid you $12,000 for the car. Am I right?

Pretty nice MkII Carrera with an awesome color combination. IMS, RMS, clutch done and cam deviation well within spec. Should be a good buy for someone if it can be scooped up for less than $20k

Great exterior color -- personally, I've never been a fan of the gray interior. IMSB/RMS/clutch is all good, but my guess is that the miles and maybe that intake kit keep the price down.
