'04 CPO C4s - About to pull trigger...feedback

Hi All - I'm new here and to Porsche. I'm just about to pull the trigger on a mint '04 C4S coupe with 15k miles. The car is Arctic over Metropole Blue and has Bose, Supple and Techno Wheels (no PSE, however...bummer...I'll be asking for aftermarket recommenations from you all).

Deal is $61k with CPO running to 9/09 (still 6 mos on factory warranty). Car was driven by nice lady in her late 50s, was serviced by dealership I'd be buying from. I have all the records and have reviewed the CPO worksheet and repair order (15k service done, 4 new Michelins, Brake Fluid Flush).

Thoughts??

Thanks.

Thanks, Redridge. I drove a '02 TT two days ago...incredible car for sure. I just love the lines of the C4S best of all (even with less power). I'm sure I could get a TT for this kind of money $$ but I'm smitten with the C4S look

if thats the case, do it, thats a good deal, esp with warranty, seems like c4s is holding its value better than the TT

I bought a high mile 2002C4S (77k miles) the condition and the
history + warranty was the factor on my end. Its been the best
Car I've had...There is a post of a GT3 for sale on e-bay and on 6speed.

TT... Way to high for a C4S. But then again, if you buy a TT CPO from a dealer, it's not what it would usually go for... Dealer pricing will always be higher than street price....

I would think a '04 with those miles at a dealer would be more expensive. It could be the interior as metropol blue seems to be a love it or hate it interior color. I've seen '03s at dealers with many more miles for mid 60's. It seems like a good deal to me, the C4S's have held value well for some reason.

Sure you could be very close in price to a high mile '01 TT, but a high-mile '01 is not for everyone. There is something to be said for buying a barely broken in car and save the massive depreciation hit.

Good find

Price is always high at the Store but it is a very nice car with CPO warranty so I think that is reasonable.
