I haven't put much thought into it but how about $42,000. It still has CPO until April 2012.

You won't find a nicer example. All original and no repaints.

Sounds reasonable. Those C4S' are the nicest looking 996'. Amazing that there is still CPO on a 2003

Resurfacing this thread only because I'm actually a p-car owner now, after going through all my options, I had my heart settled on an early SC or Carrera, and dd'ing the Saab. But a 964 c4 came up, and it was the right price, so I pulled the trigger. Already have corrected a few of the small issues it came with, and have suspension on order.
Here she is:

And a gratuitous light painting I took the week I got it


First impressions of the car are great, drives fantastic. Would've probably preferred a C2, or a 3.2 carrera, but I'm not complaining. The Saab is a great DD, and is actually a lot quicker than the 964, but I'm sure there's much enjoyment to be had.

You can probably leave the suspension as is until after the snow storm.. That ride height will come in handy tomorrow! Welcome aboard, and look forward to seeing it in person!

I can't wait haha, car is garaged until spring, or at least until the salt is off the roads.

Welcome, Romanoaf. You did pretty much exactly what I did - bought a p-car and garage the bloody thing.

If you find yourself getting up in the night to look at it - its okay, that's normal.

Its a beauty!

Thanks! and nope, I brought it home a few weeks ago and found the HVAC to be insufficient, barely blows when the hot is turned on, something I'll be looking into while it's garaged. It'll come out when the salt leaves the roads.
