Actually my preferred color is slate grey. Next is arctic silver. The Sonnan dealer said his car was priced perfectly 60k out the door for a 07 Carrea....really ugh!

 

Take your time and do a broader search. Sonnen is over priced.
You'll find the car you want. My search took like 6 months.

 

One major thing to consider in any used car is Warranty. Next is the stick or tip. If it was PDK then that would be just a personal thing, but non-PDK, the pros say to go with manual. Tip apparently can not keep up with the cars full performance level.

 

Separate topic --but my feeling is that the primary driver ought to be the central focus of any car purchase . Even if I am buying the car .. if I am the secondary driver I would place the needs of the other above mine .

However if I am the primary driver (and paying for the car) i will still consider the other person but i have found that i can not think of even one person who didn't want me to get the car i wanted.

If someone else were to buy a car for me to use --Ha ha ..I must be dreaming --
I would just say thank you .

 

Then let him buy it .

 

Just for fun I took the following topics -

1) Black Exterior --your first post was all black cars.
2) Authorized Porsche dealership only
3) certified Car
4) Low miles
5) Manual vs Tip -I figured all is solved with PDK .
6) Nearly every option --including good wheels
7) 2009 only -- First year of PDK.
8) A 997 "S"
9)Priced within reason but above your search range.
10) Carfax shows 1 owner car bought and serviced at the same dealership.

Looked at all the cars listed and this one caught my eye .

first car was atlas grey other 2 were black. If I can get a PDK can dip a little more into the bank account. But it would have 2 be not more than 67k out the door.

 

Wait one year and the PDK prices will be in that range. It gives you time to save and look --so that when you get the car it has eveything.

 

Hell, just give me your car. LOL

 

man.... aint that the truth.... i've spent too much money compromising... after all the wasted time and money, i found my c2s...

 

I agree. I found an 09 leftover in the low 70's -maybe a demo bcause it has 3K miles or so.
Silver .So cal, base coupe, no sport chrono.

I found a slate gray at the same dealership but it's a manual and he wants tip . Plus Tip is not PDK.

They have a tip but it's not CPO .

In short .. to find the car that has what he has requested at the price he's looking leaves him making compromises and chasing after cars above his initial starting price .

It just makes no sense to buy the wrong car.
He has nothing to lose by waiting.

 

You would not want my car . It's white with terracotta . It has everything else you'd want but even dealerships were offering me 75 in trade (on a gt3RS) so that black car at 84 is comparable to mine.

Except it doesn't have my upgrades but it does have CPO.

 

Here is this?

I think you need to nail down a budget, then drive some cars and see what you want. If you can afford a PDK then get one but make sure you get one set up right with the options you want. It's a bunch of money to spend and then 3 months later wish you had gotten one with X.

Keep looking... the search is part of the fun.

 

Good things comes to those who wait. im lookin for a new car to replace my cayenne S and i drove 5 cars today, including the new panamera S. crazy fast!
