My second C4

I just got my second C4 today.

Its a '89 with 117k miles. This is an upgrade for me since I just sold my '84 a few weeks ago. I can't believe the difference between the two. Anywho I uploaded a few pictures on my profile for those of you that wants to see it.

Thanks. I miss the '84 but it needed way too much work and money to bring it back to glory. I think this '89 will be better for me, I can tell it used to be a garage queen.

There are major improvements in the 1991 thru 1996 models. More power and the bodies were massaged to eliminate rattles. I could not believe the how quiet (lack of rattles) my 1995 convertible is over the 1990 coupe I traded.

Thank you gentlemen, I will definitely enjoy it. Power wise 245hp is good enough for me.

Congratulations and it looks like a really nice 89. I love the white and red combo but I'm not sure why.

I have had an 81 for 15 years, and in June just bought my 89 with 45000 miles with every option 6 speed. and it like a rocket ship compaired to my 81. It is a great car. I will be redoing my 81 5 years from now with a 290hp crate motor from GM performance.

White with red interior. Can't get any more traditional than that. Good luck.

I have a good feeling about this one. I think it was a garage queen for the last owner. Now she's a daily driver. I do have to replace some of the carpet tho.
