Ok so just under a year ago I sold my 1999 C4 - what a mistake that was because every other day, without fail I'd find myself logging on to here reading about what everyone else had bought and done, pit falls and problems they had encountered..... I'd also log on to the autotrader and watch the prices looking for a bargain .
To be fare I knew I'd be driving everyday so the C4 wasn't practical so I got myself into a Audi A5 coupe black edition.......... Good car but as boring as hell!, so now I'm back and eager to get myself into another 911!.
I'm thinking still about a C4S around the 22k mark?, I know this may get me a high miler but I'm thinking that the right one would have had some engine work done and so this would save me some grief ?............there are a few around, even seen one for just under 17k but had 220k on the clock with a load of invoices.Having a look at 997 3.6, there's a few around the 25k mark,again they have a few miles on the clock but looked after and in recent years have had the engine rebuilds.
So what do you all think? Would it bother you to get a 997 that's had its engine rebuilt in the last 8/10 years........ Having dipped my toe with the C4 I found this forum and advice second to none !
Any views appreciated, prob looking at getting into another 911 in the next few months.
Cheers
