Have an 06 4S. Love it. Want more speed.

Found an a used 2008 TURBO $158K MSRP for $110K. CPO 'til 2014. 6K miles.



1. What are the pluses and minuses of ceramic breaks? Expensive to replace and how long lasting?

2. Price looks OK?

3. Any big changes in 2009?

Thanks!!!

Here's the equipment list:

$158K MSRP COUPE!! PCCB CERAMIC BRAKES!! ONE OF A KIND!! Options- 6 Spd, NAVIGATION, REAR AXLE DIFFERTIAL LOCK, HEATED SEATS, PCCB CERAMIC BRAKES, THREE SPOKE MULTI-FUNCTION STEERING WHL IN CARBON, PARK ASSIST, SPORT CHRONO PKG PLUS, ELECTRONIC LOGBOOK, 6 CD CHANGER, CARBON PKG, SPOILER LIP PAINTED, CARON PKG SWITCH PANEL, ADAPTIVE SPORT SEATS, DOOR ENTRY IN CARBON, SIDE SKIRTS, SPORT SHIFTER, ROOFLINING LEATHER, REAR SECTION OF CENTER CONSOLE IN CARBON, LEATHER VISORS, INSTRUMENT SURROUND LEATHER, STERRING COLUMN LEATHER, PORSCHE CREST ON HEAD REST, INNER SILLS IN LEATHER, DOOR FINISHERS IN CARBON, RED TAIL LIGHTS, FOOTREST IN SPORT LOOK, INTERIOR LIGHT COVER LEATHER. Balance of Factory Warranty. Carfax Certified, One owner. Pristine condition.

 

Unless you track a lot, the PCCB's will likely outlast your ownership of the car. If you have to replace, you can always go back to steel brakes and traditional pads.
Only change for '09 is updated PCM. $110 for that car, IMO, is a bit too much. Low 100's maybe. GL

 

Any pics? car sounds at least $10k above pricewise

 

$110 is too much for that car, you really think so???
Sounds like a good price to me.....good luck.

 

There were several changes in 2009:
- new touchscreen PCM
- iPod, Universal Audio, XM Radio
- facelifted center console
- revised TPMS

It's a fair price for that car if the color combo and options are exactly what you need.

P.S. I have almost 7k miles on my '09 and it doesn't feel like I drove it much. The car you are looking at is basically new...

 

Hey Jeff, MikeC from AVS...

Once you get your feet into the turbo you will feel whole and those monster subs and $100k projectors will mean nothing, lol.

The turbo is a platform that can be amplified like no other. PCCB, diff lock, and chrono are an excellent options, not to mention you will enjoy the rowing the 6speed.

 

is really really nice. I felt that the new center console, bluetooth ipod etc really improved the interior. I don't know if they have all that on the 09 but just the touchscreen is a huge improvement.

 

very expensive maximum 90$

 

6k miles and CPO'd until 2014 no way, $100k would be fair for both sides.

 

Hey Mike.

Is the diff lock an option or standard on the Turbo?

I'm getting the feeling there is some room to deal with the seller!

Thanks guys!

 

Hey Jeff,
it's The Bogg from AVS (lol). There seem to be a number of AVSers here. MikeC is right, horsepower beats watts anyday! Just kidding, they are both awesome.
Sounds like a decent price for an 09, but if you want to save 10-15k look at an 07 or even an 08. I got a nice cpo-ed 07 and did some of the mods that Ash Sharma did. Kicks it up a notch.

 

It was a $950 option and is highly recommended for both track and winter driving if that's your thing.

 

i agree w/ boney

 

Well optioned I would take it at 105k so long as I liked the int/ext colors

 

The colors do play a role in the pricing, what's the color combo??
