Is it really an S or did someone stick the S on a base?

Good point...doesn't take much to stick an S emblem on a car...is it a five or six speed? What color are the brake calipers? Does it have a central radiator in the front bumper? Not completely conclusive, but should be in the right direction.

I checked Carmax and couldn't find the car. Is it sold? It sounds like a sweetie though at a fair retail price for excellent cond. I miss cruise control 2-3 times a year when on long trips, otherwise I never need it.

I put the car on hold. They take the listing down when it's on hold. So go find your own sweetie!

Very wise! I bought my car from Carmax 6 years ago and it has been pretty flawless. I don't plan on changing horses any time soon so your car is safe for now. 2003-2004 are my favorite years for a 986 and a lot of car for $22k. Enjoy!

When you get it, come out to the track and play.

I was looking at a dealer listing for a 06 base box that has Active Brake Differential. I think this would be more important than PSM. Does anyone know if the 04 S comes with an Active Brake Differential as standard equipement or an option? I did a quick but couldn't find anything.

That would be too funny if it wasn't, but I'll check the central rad to make sure. It has a six speed with the S dash badge and red brake calipers and cross drilled rotors (see attachment).
