it seems like atlanta dealers have a nice selection, this one is from jim ellis but henessy has a larger selection. I would expand my search to porsche club and local tuners and specialized porsche shops

Ah, the great debate: Which 911 to get? A great dilemma to have.

socalsteve has a good point

all of the CPO pcar are not equal. Sharing the cost and details is clearly helpful . . . but just tmi. Last summer deals of -$20k off the MSRP were standard. This summer it's more spotty but -$20k is still available on some lots (I look at a '09 c4s w/ only 200 miles, msrp at $112k with a off lot cost of $88 tonight). Damn pcars are expensive and maybe you just have to wait and save another $5k ?

If the above car was $83k it would have been done; oh well $5k is large.

stockid's new Car

So with all the research you settled in a much different car (and a good choice). But what's the deal ?

stockid:
Well, I got an 09 Carrera w/ PDK, last week.

is it a base carrera pdk ? mileage ? CPO ? hit your $67 target ? Color and msrp ?

Give after taking seems appropriate.

Well, it was one of the colors I wanted with one of the interiors I liked. It has 4 years of warranty left. The PPI was sparkling. Many of the extras I wanted and was like 8 grand more than the 07's I was looking at with a half to a third of the milage. For the less miles with newer tech and warranty I just could not pass the deal up. Plus I get a free outdoor car cover....that really put it over the top...lol

So price 68 and change milage 7k. Extra's to name a few PDK, ipod, SAt, NAv, phone heated and ventilated seats, sunroof, power seats w/ memory. To me those were the can't live without extras. Now sports chrono, I could live without. I noticed that the 07 with sports chrono manuel compared to the 09 PDK without sports chrono was not going to be a deal breaker for me. Plus there is something to be said about driving the car and not having the car drive you!
