Lovely black, LHD widebody C4 with full engine rebuild and re-spray has just been advertised on Rennlist: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/964-forum/675901-fs-uk-1990-c4-widebody.html
Think I'll make an enquiry about this one! Fabric seats and no sunroof, not exactly the end of the world if the car's good in other respects.ORIGINAL: gregmarshall Just spotted this non-sunroof C4 on Ebay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-911-3-6-Carrera-4-Coupe-964-1990-Manual-Baltic-blue-/320831644070?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4ab30e61a6 £11750
Yes. Steve, I've now been unemployed for two whole years and not for the want of looking for work either - the job market is simply crap - I'm now trying to resort to contacts and sheer bravado in order to force my foot into the door somewhere and a job. By nature I'm not a pushy person, so things must be bad if I'm resorting to these tactics! I toyed with the idea of selling everything else (including my body [ORIGINAL: Steve Brookes Have you sold the green one or something?
Hope it works out for you, it may not be the prettiest, but if it's well looked after who cares, it'll be a fun drive. Its got aircon (make sure its working) & cruise too, which some might see as a bonus!ORIGINAL: Amanda964 I've booked to view the ebay listed baltic blue C4 tomorrow.
I can't see any cheap cars on there....not for what they are [&o]ORIGINAL: gregmarshall RS Americas are cheap... http://www.rsamerica.net/market/vehicles/index.htm
Wasn't as good as it looked on the ad. For reference, air con didn't work, but it did have fully functional sun roof. An abridged rundown as follows: Paint code turned out to be 35V, Marine Blue. Velour interior was from a 3.2 (obviously) and I informed the seller of that fact. Although a car dealer, he openly admitted he knew nothing about Porsche cars! It had had a respray a few years ago, but the finish was neither matt nor shiney. It was that in between finish that a paint shop would normally flat down and polish with an electric mop. There was some sill trim rubber missing too that someone had filled with black mastic! With the exception of a bill for a clutch change at around 90,000 miles in 1998, the paperwork was no more than a folder of receipts for sundries, although all the MOTs were present. The service book was last stamped in 2002. There was no supporting servicing documentation, or evidence of major work - although the brake discs and pads were brand new all round. Owners handbook and the lovely leather folders they're in was missing. The clutch was more than due for replacement! I'd want a second opinion on the engine as far as the extent of oil leakage. Engine was reluctant to idle when first starting from cold, the revs needed holding up for a minute or so - probably a simple adjustment needed, but it added to the list of things requiring attention BEFORE I'd be able to use it as transport. Lots of other niggly things like the interior heater fan not switching off even when switched off. The retro fit alarm had issues too and may have been affecting the starting as well. The retro fit aerial on the roof was a complete carbunkle, looked bloody awful. It drove ok, apart from having to bury my left foot into the carpet on the clutch. One last thing, the interior needed fumigating - when you opened the door, the overwhelming smell of tobacco smoke and stale dog hit you like a wall. Not a nice combination of aromas [:'(] Verdict? my search will continue..........ORIGINAL: colin129Hope it works out for you, it may not be the prettiest, but if it's well looked after who cares, it'll be a fun drive.
