Troubleshooter Posted 24August, 2018 Report Share Posted 24August, 2018 That's a great looking car, Zenith over black of course I'm biased … Hardly ever see them with pretty low ks like that, very well priced if it checks out no surprises....

The only other C4 that’s sat on CS is the black one, with twice as many kms and the bloke wants more for it. It’s been there for a while.

In 2012! This is the ad from back then, hence the rego expiring in Dec 2012. The seller accidentally re-listed the car yesterday through the CS app when he was trying to list his wife's car. Now he can't remove the ad, and CS support are not responding. Oh well... The hunt continues. Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for a C2 manual for about 18 months & I can't recall seeing this one before. Spoke to the seller, he said it hasn't been serviced since 2015. When it was in for the service (at TD automotive), the mechanic checked the IMS bearing and said it was fine. Wondering how you would check a sealed bearing. Are there any give-away signs that it has been tracked? Beside a fire extinguisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What that means is that the IMS hasn't yet self-destructed at the moment the mechanic looked at it. Dave997S and LeeM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the most common check is by cutting the oil filter and/or analysing the oil looking for metal shavings. You need to do regular oil changes and compare to previous in order to catch a bearing in the act of self destructing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently last owner was a Porsche mechanic who installed the extinguisher and s badges. So assume it’s seen a track day or two, not that that’s a bad thing. Probably was better serviced with the last owner than the current Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 25August, 2018 Report Share Posted 25August, 2018 Nice looking C4S manual. Think this is a new listing? Price high, but not out of the ballpark. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2001/SSE-AD-908656/?Cr=13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't buy a car if it had been tracked because the drive train is going to cop too much abuse. Thanks for replies, but I think its overpriced and there's something not right with it.
