Very, very nice. I just bought an '87. I was seriously considering a 996 after test driving an '01 but they were still out of my price range for now. Great cars though.

Jon that is sweet. Congrats. I had a C2 that color. I can imagine the C4S is even more spectacular to drive. Supple leather?

You're going to love it. Did you keep the 85? I was able to keep my 88 when I got my 996 - a great pair.

Hi,
No...I just sold the '85. While I could swing it financially, I don't have the space at all. I got a decent price, and it's going to someone as their first p car, so it's all good. I know I'll miss it, but the creature comforts that will allow for me drive the new one daily outweighs anything else. In the event I get another down the road....it will be a cab with a g50 anyway. Best,

I think you bought the right year--the first 3.6 year. I looked at an 01 C4 , and finally decided on an 03 Boxster (looks like the black one with the tan interior in the background of one of your pics). The C4 had an RMS at just 27K miles, and that could have been a warning sign. Plus the cost difference was substantial.
I also tend to favor water-cooling over oil-cooling, having had an SC. The later model cars also have better front end cooling ventilation, and should have less oil leak problems over their lifetime, though that didn't seem to help the 3.4 engine.
