Advice

I have a 2009 C2S pretty well equipped. Nav, Bose, Lmtd Slip, Sport Chrono, Comfort Seats, Ventilated Seats, Heated Seats, 6 speed, Multi function wheel, colored crest wheels, self dimming, XM, Blutooth, foot rest aluminum.

I only have about 950 miles on it. Any idea what it might be worth?

Yeah at that price I will keep it. Unless I got a great deal on a car in stock at dealer.

I would agree, and I am far from a pricing expert. Why are you selling it?

I am not just inquiring. I really love the car was just kicking around the idea of a C4S or Turbo.

well, if you use the same dealer and recently bought your car - they may help you out in getting into a turbo...they may consign it for you also...its worth talking to them..they should try to help you "trade up"

I'd say 25% off MSRP is just about right as P997S said. So a quick guess would be ~$72K.

Unfortunately, 950 miles or 9,500 miles will make little difference on a C2S. The delta in miles on a turbo would be more meaningful. So don't be shy about driving the car even if you plan to sell it.

The turbo is an intoxicating car. I traded an '06 C2S cab for an '09 turbo. I don't regret the trade, as I truly enjoyed my time in the turbo. I much prefer the driving experience of the 997.2 C2S over the turbo, as I'm an NA guy at heart. I love the high revs and wail of the NA engine.

Have you considered modding your C2S versus trading it?

As others have said, perhaps talking to your dealer, you might even come across a car that you are looking for that has low miles and was traded back in to the dealer for something else. Good Luck

No I stay away from modding. Any idea what 09 turbos are running these days? I hate not getting the new improved 2010 turbo though.

I'd rather have a the C2S you have than a C4S. The 4 is not an upgrade unless you plan on using it in the snow.
No matter what you will take a big hit selling or trading in your new 950 mile C2S.

So you do not want to sell it then as you will need to pay a tax - it may be cheaper to trade it in - speak with dealer and press him hard - his incentive to sell you Turbo will be more than to rob you on a trade-in money amount.

And of course get 2010 car with PDK - why to get '09 Turbo? I do not see a single reason to do that.

Why get a C4S - unless you live near bad weather and need 4WD?

I'd say you're car would sell for $72-75K'ish. MSRP was likely around just at $100K? You dont have PDK, didnt see full leather?

No, I don't have PDK or full leather.

As for C4S vs. C2S, I like the Wide body look of C4S and should have paid a few extra thousand for it last year. I also like the PDK.
I see a basalt black C4S cruising around near me and it looks really sweet coming and going. That extra width in back makes a difference. I also think the C4S feels less floaty up front.

I went from an 07 C2S into an 07 turbo in 07. Best car decision I ever made but it is expensive and this current pricing market is more tricky (especially with an 09 car where the supply was huge, the discounts were also large , and the finance rates on new cars push down the used market).

I agree with others who say 25 percent . I might even say 30 percent.

Let's say they go over allotment and give you a great trade of 75k to entice you towards a Turbo . A new Turbo S will run 180K and that's the car to get. It will cost you 105K plus your car plus tax to get the new car.
It will cost you 80K to get a base Turbo. In comparison with 07 I paid 52K plus my car to make the swap. New Turbos cost more and the "s" model is expensive.

Conclusion -- Get the full use out of your car first.

I think certified pre-owned is way to go. Sucks taking the big hit with the new cars.
