Default super cheap 2006 C4S cab, with 63K of options...

Wow, I'm guessing this thing needs PCB brakes or something else expensive like the IMS repair...its listed for 37K

I've never seen on with 63K of options added on.

A loaded corporate car, about 80 miles from me. Has X-51, C4S, adaptive seats. If it was closer, I would look at it. Wonder how hard driven, how durable are the X-51 M97.01 engines ? How much trouble are the ceramic brakes ?
No IMS issue (has large bearing).

Little bump damage below right rear tail light.

I live between this dealer and the one in Charlottsville Va, which has less traffic.

No trouble until you need to replace rotors....then expensive. I saw the ding in the back, probably easily repaired. I bought my C4S from them last October, nothing was hidden. But the bumper respray they did on it is chipping after 6K miles and I'm not too pleased with that. It should last longer.

With all those options, I wonder what it tips the scales at ? At least no TIP. X-51 ought to haul it around with abandon. Would be an interesting test drive.

A good detail shop should be able to clean it up nicely, but if it was me, I would go with iron rotors and the right pads. A while back somebody did a neat analyses in here of the 2006 models and his data suggested that a few of the C4S's approached the price of the GT3. This must be one of them with all those options. It might need a clutch too, so anyone looking that this would want a independent PPI and service records. They are part of the Penske group, so its not some small indy dealer.

You are the master of finding the deal. But "cab" is never the answer

And that interior is hideous, IMHO.

Man I don't know....in the country, I wouldn't have it any other way. Ours has made riding the motorcycles almost a yawn experience. So the bikes are both on trickle chargers. I'm hoping the heated seats are up to the task, plan on using them a lot this fall. We typically ride in anything better than 45 deg.

If we ever get back to California Central Coast....well she will work out there too.

Cocca never photographs well, but its nice in person. Its the first one I've seen with the wood trim interior. Its close to having every option that you could get. No aero kit though, but thats not possible with the cab.

I have a cocoa interior with cocoa top and ccream white interior. Looks much better in person than in pics.

Car seems like a great deal for someone....

Holy $150k+ MSRP Batman!

I love the coco interior, should be a good buy as long as $10k doesn't need to go to pccb replacements soon.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I was in the market. That's such a nice deal...
I love the cocoa... wow!
