Comments please? Good deal bad deal. They have no haggle pricing the price is the price. Looks like a great deal to me.

My .02 cents - that's a helluva deal. That's the same color combination as my P-car. Pictures don't do it justice.

With a measly 7K miles on the odo, the car has plenty of factory warranty left, and figuring that it'd cost $90+K to buy a new one equipped like that car is equipped - hell yes, that's good deal.

With the money you'd save over a new one, you could buy a very nice set of 19" wheels and a PDK-paddle steering wheel.

A month ago I would have pulled the trigger on this car.

I would never buy a car from a NON Porsche dealership . Even an independent dealership may be a better choice because their business thrives on customers who change cars frequently . Usually dealerships like Lexus, BMW. Ford , Mercury , Mercedes.... buy the cars at auction (if not traded in) .. but these cars may or may not have issues and the risk is far too great.

Look Here ---- his example had a better ending than many but it stil was not without a headache .. and unltimately he ended up having to go to a Porsche dealership ... so whatever he saved in price he's making up for in stress.

I hope this works out for you .
I agree with others that the price is acceptable but in my opinion that's what most non Porsche dealerships have in common (they always look pretty on the used car lot).

Have the PPI check everything -even water damage if possible. Check every control , paint meter, structure, as well as how it drives (both cold and hot). check the PDK for any clitch .check computer module . Have it PPI done at the dealership of YOUR choice . Look at Carfax .. how many owners .. where those 7K miles werre driven. Learn as much as you can because once you pay for it .. it's yours.

If it passes everything I'd be happy for you .
It's a stunning color combination.
I also feel PDK is far better than Tiptronic.
good luck.

Wow !! I knew all along that PDK was the way to go over tip . My only hesitation was the non Porsche dealership but if the PPI came back great then it's all good!!!

Congrats !!!
