That 4S is overpriced. Some people will say that I'm cheap, or you're paying for low miles, but I say that's bull. $43k is Turbo money.

That said, the AWD system is very passive on the 996/997. The 4S has the Turbo widebody, so SOME suspension parts will cost a little more than a narrow body C2/C4.

My personal opinion is that the Carrera4S is the best balance of looks/performance/maintenance for a DAILY driver 996. (Disclaimer: I had an '02 C4S as my DD). If I could have found a 997 in my price range, I would have pursued that avenue.

Honestly, you cannot go wrong either way. The IMS issue affects ALL pre-DI engines, albeit at a VERY VERY low rate. The IMS issue has been greatly exaggerated by the internet.
