Well, another recruit for the Dark Side...

I am now the proud nearly-owner of a 996 C4S Coupe, 2002, 28k miles, lapis blue with graphite grey hide, sports seats and Bose, 1 yr warranty and a set of new boots from Nick Whale sportscars up in the Midlands.

It will of course be booked in for a PSE in very short order. I also intend to add some bits and bobs inside, e.g. alu or maybe carbon handbrake and gearknob.

Hopefully collecting monday/tuesday next week.

I will be px-ing my Alpina B3S, and selling the 993 Targa separately later this week(which I will sadly miss)

The C4S will be my daily driver/fun car, racking up 15-20k miles a year so it should be an adventure!

Good move...

Sounds nice - would be one of my preferred choices of colour scheme too. I loved my 993, but the 996 is so much better as a daily driver.

Just had a look at the pics- very nice. I drive past that showroom quite a bit and he always seems to have some nice stock.

Thanks for the comments- it was certainly interesting driving this one with no PSE as it shows what a fabulous system it is.

It was also useful to ask them to bring it over to my office for the test drive- it meant I could to a very objective comparison over roads I knew well, including a really awful surface bit which would show up any rattles or clonks- it passed with flying colours.

It is with very mixed feelings that I part with the Targa though, love the 993s, great cars and worthy of all the hype. The interior of the Targa is very special too.

I do have some reservations about the wisdom of getting a dark blue car when I do so many miles, but it does look v nice, and I suppose I could get it armourfended or whatever.

Here is a link to some pics of the C4S... might work

I've got a dark blue car and haven't had too many problems with the miles (22K) I've put on it. Stone chips seem to show on any colour, I found my red car was the worst for showing them.
