C4s.. ??
Hi guys,
I am brand new to this forum. Thanks for having me

I am thinking of picking up a 2002 911 C4S. The car is black/black with 45k miles. It has just been serviced, detailed, and brand new Bridgestones.

They are asking $42500.. Seems really good? What do you guys think?

Is this a good car to own?

Any advise is greatly appriciated!

Thumbs up
Price seems in line......what options are on it?

Is it thru a Porsche dealer? CPO?

If not, I'd look into an aftermarket warranty plan. Repairs are expensive. Also get a PPI done.

I love my C4S!

Good luck.

Here is the car.. I am just in love with it.

Nice looking car! Any service records/history available?

I would get an inspection done.

My car had just had approx $6K worth of work done just before I bought it, and had a great transferable warranty.

30K Service, Rear main seal, clutch, coolant tank, complete brakes.....at 32K miles.

Looks like a nice car at an OK price, would be a great deal at $40k.

Like Brando said, get it looked at by a dealer or indie.

Intersport in McLean, VA has a good reputation, at least as far as body and mechanical work go. A lot of people on this board go there for work.

No matter what, get a PPI. There's a Porsche dealer in Tysons, just a short walk from Intersport.
