We are in the market for a 92-96 C4 Vert w/Auto and FX3. I came across the vehicle in the photo, but am wondering if these 5 spokes were an option for the 40th, or should it have the sawbalde wheels for correctness? ...just a point I might be able to use to work the deal more in my favor. Appreciate any insights, as this is my first shopping trip for a C4! Thank you! Dave

Yea, those are the ZR1 type wheels. Your 40th should have had sawblades on them. My 94 had sawblades on it when I bought it, but I like the ZR1 wheels better, so I changed them out.
 
I like both... this is purely for negotiation tactics... they are asking $15K and has 65K miles. Seems relatively reasonable, but is above what is in my budget (just can't find anything else this clean).
 
Make sure the FX3 shocks are working well. They can be expensive to repair/replace.
 
Hi Tuna, Any specific methodology to test they are working properly, other than drive it in all 3 modes and get no idiot lights on the dash? Thanks! Dave

That's a start plus checking them for leaks. The FX3 shocks have electrical connections at the top of each shock (front shock connections are obvious with the hood up - rears a little harder to see). I have seen FX3 cars for sale with standard shocks installed - i.e. no electrical connection to the shock. Don't pay extra for FX3 that isn't really there.
 
Yea, I had to have my FX-3 shocks rebuilt.....not cheap, but they came back like new.

I actually miss that car!
 
Good luck with the negotiations.
