Hi,
Sorry to gate crash your lovely forum.
I've just done a deal on an Approved Used C4S and thought it about time I joined such a knowledgeable bunch of 911 enthusiasts. It is actually my second 991, I currently have a lovely 991.1 C2S in Basalt Black with low miles which I love but I have secretly always wanted a C4S partly due to the lovely stance and have kept an eye on the OPC website for the right car. I love a clean black car but had underestimated how hard it was to look after with any surface scratches showing easily, I've even had it detailed twice.
My car history is rather random. In the early 2000s I had one of the original Boxter S which was a great car. Then I went through various Audis and BMWs including a few M cars. My last non Porsche car was an M4 which is a great car but a handful. I always wanted the 991 when it came out but could never afford new so jumped at the chance to buy one last year. Coming from a BMW, I did miss a few options on my current car so have been looking out for a heavily spec'd 991 C4S and hopefully have finally found the right car, much to wife's annoyance.
For those interested, spec is as follows:
2012/62 - 13000 miles
Aqua Blue with Black leather
20" Carrera Classic Wheels with coloured centres
Adaptive Cruise with PAS
Burmester Sound
Adaptive sport seats 18 way
Carbon interior
Sunroof
Folding mirrors
Rain Sensor and dimming mirrors
Bi-Xenon with PDLS
Light Design Pack
PDCC with sports PASM (20mm lower)
Voice Conrol
Keyless entry and drive
PCM with universal audio and 6 CD autochanger
Privacy glass
Rear wiper
Seat ventilation and heating
Sports Exhaust
Sport Chrono
Sport Design Steering wheel
Crest embossed on head restraints
Black rev counter
Telephone module
TPM
HomeLink
Online Services
TV tuner
Leather rear tunnel with decorative stitching
Fire Extinguisher
Model designation deletion
Ideally I would have liked DAB and possibly LEDs but it has all my must haves.
After some too-ing and froo-ing with the dealer (who was excellent), I got what I feel is a good cost to change price. Hopefully picking up in a week and can't wait to see the colour in the flesh. A fair amount of money to spend on not that different a car but a lesson for me in making sure I get what I want in the first place!
Some pics below of the current C2S and the new steed.
Look forward to being part of your excellent forum.
