Thoughts on this car?

I am making a deal on this car... anyone know it? Its very clean. drove it yesterday.

I have asked several questions on the board in the last couple of weeks, thanks for all of the input! I really want PDK, but am ok with 7MT for a while until my GT3 gets in later this year.

thoughts?

Have the same car same color on the boat should be in next week. 2014 C4S with similar config, no sunroof on mine, but prem plus and SPASM (so call a wash) my 2014 after discount is roughly 6k more than you will pay for this car. Hopefully you can negotiate the price down some from where its marked at right now

Seeing this car is merely serving as a bridge while you wait for your GT3, you have other avenues at your disposal.
Sent you a PM.

Sticker on this car was $123,370. That does not include the 20" wheels that it has, so call it $125k.

Understood, what I am saying to you is my MY2014 with a sticker of 124,200, after discount, I am getting for 114,6xx therefore the 108,xxx that they want for this car is a little steep you should try to get for 104-105k or better off just getting a MY2014 and not talking a huge hit on depreciation due to it being a 2013

FWIW I'm trying to decide between new vs used as well and frankly, unless the price delta is significant enough to justify the used car....I'll close my eyes and order new. YMMV but is $10-$15k enough of a savings? Guess we all have a slightly different answer to that question.

Looks nice and basically new. There are some leftovers that are brand new that are 20k off...


If looking for a optioned c4s here is a certified preowned that would be easy to sell in 9 months. Even has two sets of rims.

Or a 2013 leftover for 20k off on a c4s right here in fort worth.

I looked at the one in Ft Worth... Beige interior was a deal breaker.

Ended up buying the C4S here in houston in my opening post. The overall deal worked out to be perfect. Really gave me an awesome deal on the trade and then on the C4S.

Going 997.2 GT3 -> Scud -> 991 C4S 7MT is ummm, an interesting experience! There's nothing like downgrading!

Many on here just told me to keep the Scud, but I could NEVER really drive it here in Houston. I've had it for 6 motnhs and maybe put 200 miles on it. The roads efffing suck here and the fear of a rogue shopping cart taking out the front bumper was tough to deal with. Even a small fender bender on the car easily launches you into the $30k+ range for repairs. Plus, you CAN'T put miles on the damn thing!

Even though I really wanted PDK, I like the 7MT. I guess I'll have to wait for the PDK-S in the GT3.

Will post some pics... must say, its a damn good looking car!

avi8tir I get it. I am a transplant from the northeast down in Dallas for a while. The light interior did not do it for me either. I am looking to build my next 991 in the summer. It more than likely will be a c4s if I can swing a base turbo I may go that route. I will see what the dealer can do for me. I have always thought about a a pre-owned 430 or Gallardo but for the reasons you mentioned I would not be able to drive it in Dallas. The Tollway, 75 and 35 always have debris such as a mangled ladder, rocks, wood, tires…It is ridiculous. That and I couldn’t drive something like that everyday. I had a landscaper drop a 4x4 off the back of his trailor and had it go through the front of my S5, took out the grille, bent a control arm and smashed the wind shield. With this 911 I went through a windshield the first 90 days from rocks.

Good luck with the new car.
