Should I even Consider a 2002 C4S

saw a 2002 C4S at a local carmax.
45k mi, $31k.

Grey with red interior.

Should I even consider this thing?
My '89 Targa just isn't a DD in the Texas heat/humidity.

thanks.

BS. That will buy you a very nice 993 these days which has very good a/c and will hold its value much better. That waterpumper will be 12k in 5 years. The issue is that they are a dime a dozen.

We have had one for about 4 years now with no problems. They are a blast to drive, but totally different in character than the 911SC. I have not driven a 993, but expect it is more like the SC than 996 in feel. All that said, I am happy we have it in the stable.

I loved my '02 C4S. I sold it last year because I had the chance to buy an '04 GT3 an didn't want to miss out. Water pump or not, it's a great car and--in my opinion--the best looking of the Type 996.

2002 is the sweetspot year with the 3.6 engine upgrade BUT don't get AWD unless you need it. Car Max has the most liberal test drive policy I know of.

Get a 993 instead. It will be worth much more in five years and it is just as fun to drive.
