philipk Posted 20August, 2020 Report Share Posted 20August, 2020 A few years ago I thought about upgrading to a 4S but then after driving one for a day,{a friend was selling it} I just prefferd my rear wheel drive! The 4S was not as much fun but I loved the fat rear end!😁 Stepo, MFX, Rod C and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 12 months ago you'd be hard pressed to see a "Pre-owned" Porsche older than a couple of years being sold at a dealership - they used to appear to wholesale them out as quick as they could to just keep current model stuff there.

Stressful morning yesterday, I spoke with Alan (nice guy) from PCP Thursday night when the car hit Carsales to get some more info and he mentioned the engine had been replaced but he was still chasing up warranty history! I didn’t get a wink of sleep all night and was expecting a call back early Friday with the low down! Safe to say it hit 9:30am and I hadn’t heard back, so I got inpatient and called. My timing was bang on as 6 people had already spoken with Alan but he was waiting on the engine replacement info which he had just received! Once I got the full history it didn’t take me long to decide to pull the trigger and put a deposit down. The car is very tidy and has some unique options! Very keen to take delivery which will hopefully be late next week and have my first drive in a 911...

Im glad he told you about the engine replacement. I rang about the car on the afternoon it was advertised (purely out of curiosity) and I got an email with all the info and service history the next morning. It would have been a nasty surprise if you only found out later on. With only 50 k's on it and the engine having been replaced at 15 k's, it has only done 35 k's ... I love my new C4S and I'm sure you're going to love yours as well! .. Well done and Congratulations .. 😀 Naldz88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in a digital boost guage on the factory screen with the red background that often displayed 24psi, a few old school cd's in the 6 stacker and a 50 buck factory amp upgrade from an audi s8 and the bose factory audio is also pretty damn good for last century tech. Makes the few bits of orange lighting in the 996 and the cdr 23, and tackyradio buttons and the optical fibre all somewhat very very plain in comparison. michel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to check the engine number and type. They could have gone in a few different ways. 1. Old stock new 3.6 engine from a 996 Carrera/C4S 2. A new 3.6 engine from a standard 997 Carrera 3. A new 3.8 engine from the 997 C4S If it was from the 997 range, the IMS bearing type was changed in late 06, so only the engine number will tell you. I reckon the the dealer that did the work (PCW) would have that information on file. Would be worth a call to ask. Either way, looks like a nice car. Pity I’m not on your way home as would have loved to catch up and see the car in person ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so it would at least be date cast correct. cheers, Dave. Dreamr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
