Riad

It's a sad day in the Riad household, my beloved C4S has finally died.

215,000 miles and 13 years is a very good run. She still looks brand new, but I had a catastrophic engine failure... and so this is where we part.

Anyone can tell me what I can get for the rest of the car that's in perfect condition? 5k?

x-posted in off-topic as well.


Thanks,
Rob

Ohhhhhhh-noooooooooooooo!

Sorry to hear. I would say a roller for someone planning a swap, or V8 would be looking at $7-9k for a car which is in otherwise very good cond, however the high miles is going to turn a lot of people off. In a case like this, being in a rush is going to hurt value. Maybe if you can wait a few months for the right person.

Good luck moving forward. If you want a 99 C2 aero. I have one for sale, and I deliver too!

So sorry to hear this, What failed?

Sorry again Rob. Definitely sucks

The C4S Cab is rare so that might fetch a little more, but 6-8 is probably the ballpark.

He answered that in OT. Cheapskate

Sorry to hear the news - Whats the next purchase?

Sorry you're at the end of the road, Rob. Maybe you should post a few pics? Never know who might want a project -- those LS V8 swaps are getting more popular every day.

Jesus Riad, it's been a long run for you. Bummer about your engine failing. I'd suggest your roller price might be in the 5-8k range once you locate the right buyer. You must be busy, don't see that many posts from you recently, hope all is well other than your Porsche problem. Good luck finding a roller buyer.

Riad

Yeah... I'll probably get 6k for the car... if you sold the wheels, and hard top you'd get 2k alone!

Seems like the timing chain.

Right now looking at a 991 C4S, or C4S Cab.

Yup! The car still looks new!

Thanks! That's what I'm thinking the price is as well. Yeah haven't been on much, busy and I just sort of migrated over to FB with about 50 other Rennlisters... if anyone's on FB IM me and we'll meet over there.

Ouch! Rob, sorry to hear that. Could you tell what specifically what caused the catastrophic failure. IMS? Chain break like Cuda?

The first pic is the day I drove it home in 2004,

The next pic is from 2015.

And what year was the avatar pic Riad? I bought my C2 2 years later in 2006, and still own it.

The one with the cop car behind me? That pic must have been somewhere 2004 - 2006.

Do a bit of digging around the engine before posting the car for sale. You'll get more money for it if you have some information regarding the engine. It makes a difference if there is no hole in the block, intermix or cylinder scoring to the potential buyer. It did to me when I bought non running 996. The intermix and hole is easy to check.

The car looks really good by the way. This would be a good starting point for a DYIer if the price is right.

The replacement for the 04 C4S Cab... 2015 C4S Cab with 10k miles on her...
