Default Just Purchased 2002 C4S #3

Just returned home from my trip to Northern California/Southern Oregon. Fellow RL'er's car. He was extremely obsessed about care and maintenance.
Really nice guy and I've been having a dialog with him regarding the car for about 2 months and finally got down to view it and test drive. Brookings Oregon is not an easy place to access and requires a couple of small aircraft rides and 40 minute taxi ride from Seattle.
Well worth the trip! Beautiful area and got to see live the HUGE sink hole on HWY 101 just near the CA/OR border - This sink hole is about the size of a football field.

The car is a 2002 C4S silver w/full supple black leather - 110K miles and in 12/2015 had new clutch, IMS, brakes, full service/etc done to car only 3K miles ago. Full alignment, newer tires. Has a few rock chips on hood but other than that clean as can be! Also has a nice bluetooth stereo with hands free phone system for my iphone. PPI done January 2016.
This car has a RUF installed FVD Brombacher level 2 kit installed - Increased horsepower and incredible sounding stainless steel sport mufflers

Had a wonderful drive home to Seattle - The car is nice and tight, quiet and smooth. Nice to have a C4S back in the garage! I always forget how sweet these cars drive!! Gonna hold onto this one for at least a week!

Congrats on a great buy ! I'd love to hear how your butt dyno evaluates the FVD kit.

Did you see any vintage Corvettes at the bottom of that sink hole?

Congrats! I moved from the Oregon Coast this past summer, and I remember seeing this car being listed FOREVER. Not hard to notice when you're the only two people on the coast with Porsches

Glad to see he finally got it to a good home!

Congrats on a great "new" car and a terrific experience/ride home. Just a wee bit envious!

Congrats, let's get a betting pool rolling here.

I predict mid to late summer and this car will be gone.
