I’m now the proud owner of a slightly tatty, 135k 1999 996 3.4 C4 for £8k.

Re: New Car
Is that the Hartech one from the ebay thread? Congrats either way
Re: New Car
£8k? Insane.
How broken is it?

Re: New Car
Going by the mot history it has a very serious and ongoing problem with the reg. plate lamp.
Re: New Car
Nice one
Plate surely not included for that price?
ETA just seen it's S11, not 911

Re: New Car
It's not the Hartech one, it was a cheaper on but has also had an engine rebuild, but no idea where or how well it was done, so a bit of a risk. It's tatty, the headlights being the obvious thing externally, plus a mark on the rear bumper. The front seats are pretty fucked and the steering wheel needs throwing in a biohazard skip.
Plan A is tidy it up a bit and use it. Plan B (if the engine is shagged or subsequently explodes) is to throw an LS in it. Plan C would be to part it out.

Re: New Car
Plate isn't as cool as it looks. It's not 911 CPO, it's S11 CPO with a dodgy screw

Emergency start vid please.
Worst case scenario, it dumps it's guts and you've an excuse to find an LS to replace it with as it'd be a better value replacement than a flat six.

Re: New Car
I got it for £8008. I put that as my maximum bid because it spells BOOB.

That 3 spoke wheel is an option and much nicer than the normal one. If it's minging you can get them redone in Alan Cantara along with the gearknob and gaitor.

Coincidentally I was reading the Readers cars thread on pistonheads about the turbo LS swap in the C4
