In January I sold my 996.1 C4 to a friend and since then have had a dabble with the dark side in an E92 M3 V8 but I missed the curvaceous rear so the slab sided battleship had to go. Poorer financially but much richer in so many other ways. Much to Mrs Endex's displeasure this one is Arctic Silver too but she'll get over it. Seeing as I only have a photo bucket account, pictures will have to wait until after collection so I know this thread will be worthless!! :thumb:
In brief the car is a late 2005 997 C4S with 32,000 miles, black leather hardback seats, colour coded transmission tunnel, park assist, PASM, PCM, multi function steering wheel. Sure there's much more but I'm too giddy to recall!
Endex, Good to see you return from the dark side mate and into a widebody 997. having come from a 996 and time on here in the past you will be very up to speed I am sure on the things to check at PPI etc.
look forward to seeing pics :thumb: :thumb:

Cheers Phil - I checked all the reported potential shortfalls on the 997. Previous owner had a full PPI done on it and has done less than 500 miles in the year since so I'm content it is good time now. No one can predict the future though!
James, the E92 M3 isn't a bad car but it needs taking up the Rev range to come alive. Hugely practical compared to any 911 and if you need the space a definite contender. I did specifically want 4wd, I had a 996 C4 before and found it very useful for crossing the Penines in winter as my parents are both in their mid 80s and throw up the odd emergency between them!
Is it an early 2005? If so get the IMS bearing changed if it has not been done already, they DO FAIL (ask me how I know :sad: ) Personally I'd go for the EPS roller bearing if you do. Other than that enjoy, they are fantastic cars!! :thumbs:
