RMS/IMS? You need to know.

I owned a 2003 C4S Cab, not coupe. With a little suspension work, that car rocked. But 90k miles and 14 years later, these cars aren't worth a whole lot.

Does 2nd gear pop out? That was a known issue.
Has it had routine and consistent maintenance, especially oil changes? Does he have the records?
Have you checked Ebay and Panorama for comps?

A quick check through Panorama shows a ton of 996's for sale, many with much lower mileage at sub $40 and even sub $30's pricing.

I think this car is in the $20's somewhere. Plus, you'll have to do the RMS/IMS job maybe, which is $3-$4K.

Tread carefully.
