looks very nice only missing PSE all the other toys seem to be there , Right sort of money as well :thumb: :thumb:
 
it does have the sports exhaust. they are offering it with a warranty with Blackstar warranties

torn between this and a C2S which is the same year 8k miles less, same good condition and spec and £1k less with OPC warranty and a recent PPI.

there really isnt much difference in the price so really comes down to mileage, condition and difference between the two warranties
 
The Spec' won't suit everybody eg. no sunroof, no rearwiper but not having those would be a + for me.

Looks like a very nice car.
 
Looks like a nice car - the spec is spot on!! Price may be a little full at this time of year from an independent especially one that does not specialise in Porsche. Do you have the link to the C2S?

Price looks high, that's been for sale an age and the warranty unless OPC is worthless. Also missing the proper sports design steering wheel.
 
those were all my concerns and even though they have come down in price i think i needs to be £40k when compared to yours (or even less) :roll:

i doubt they can come down that much without loosing money

would rather get it cheaper and get them to do the 111 point check so i can obtain the OPC warranty immediately

Unless you buy a car from an OPC or have an existing warranty transferred from a private seller you have to have owned the car for 90 days before you can get an OPC warranty on it.

This would almost certainly mean that another 111 point check would be required.
 
as they have had the car for over 90 days they would be able to get this done and just effectively add it to the price of the car after the negotiated price has been agreed so avoid any waiting without cover for me
 
Warranty from Porsche doesn't apply when sold by a non-OPC dealer.

*in theory, in reality most dealers pass on the OPC warranty :thumb: sold on behalf of the owner etc. Plus Porsche are never going to check where you bought the car.

Is it a private sale :?:

If it is then the current owner could put it through the 111 point check ,get everything flagged up fixed and put the warranty on it. Between you could use the results of the 111 point check to agree a price.

If it's being sold by a dealer they cannot put a Porsche Warranty on it.

I would, because that's what happened with mine when I bought it from a dealer. He was allegedly selling it on behalf of someone, so warranty transferred no problem, and I know that because I had a couple of things under warranty done, like coil packs.

OP, why only a C4S? Have you driven a C2S? they are really very different animals. C2S is a purer drive, I really didn't like a C4S when I took one out, took 5 C2S out though :) It will give you much more choice.

Now, on to the car market. Prices are dropping across the board, especially in the high end classic market. 8 years ago you could buy a nice Ferrari F355 spider for under £40k. Last year, good ones were £110k, with the cheapest being £90k. Now, good ones are down in the mid £80k's, with LHD ones are even under £60k. So, wait a coupld of months, even until after March next year and see what happens. Prices are very very unlikely to rise between now and then I would say.
