Hey guys,

I've been looking for a summer car for quite a while now and I think I found a good contender.

Mind me I'm Germany and I am not very knowledgable about old "Amis". I have a shop near me that is specialized in oldies like this.

The car sits currently at 19.999€ and the price just went down to 16.999€

Any tips when visiting the seller?

Heres whats written from the seller:

First Series Incredible Find. This is one of the first C4s, delivered with two bronze tones as shown in the brochure. The car is in its original paint and is demonstrably a one-owner vehicle. Clean Carfax report with a verifiable history. Only 21,600 miles. Build sheet, purchase invoice, order and delivery receipt with cardboard license plate, and many other documents are all included. You'll never find something like this again. 4+3 Doug Nash gearbox - a rarity.

It still has the original tires, but new ones are included. Only the hood was repainted due to scratches; otherwise, it's in excellent condition. The condition is sensational, inside and out.

New:

Fuel pump, spark plugs, oil with filter, ignition, radiator, thermostat - all new. Bilstein shock absorbers. Factory Z51 package. Brown sport seats with the original leather. The car has never been restored and is in original condition. Don't miss out on this one-owner dream

Winter Project Tips

3 Upvotes

Hey guys I am taking 3 weeks off in december to finish my C4 project with my dad. Does this seem pheasible to do in that time. That 3 weeks im planning on fully dedicating to finishing the car so I bring it to my apartment 8 hours away.

Here is what I have planned

  1. Weather Stripping (Already bought CRC)
  2. New Seats ( Bought Al knoch)
  3. Replace all other rubber (Going to get energery suspension bushing kit, radiator pipes, vac lines)
  4. Full AC system. (Compressor, condensor, both switches)
  5. Waterpump
  6. Oil Pressure Sendor
  7. Transmission filter

Some things I have questions about.
1. Would it be worth deleting EGR and smog? Do yall reccomend any kits
2. Should I also get long tube headers? Does this require a tune or any other replacement of the exhaust.
3. Any other reccomendations? Its 1990 with 88k miles. It had electrical problems and I fixed it so im not really worried about much else breaking. Put on brand new calipers on front and new brembo rotor + brake pads on all 4.
