As Promised...Here she is...2008 Targa 4S

As I posted on Friday, this is my first Porsche and I am literaly walking on air right now! Woke up last night at 3AM and walked out into the garage just to make sure she wasn't a dream. Thanks again for all of the helpful advice during my search for this car...you guys are the best!

No worries on the question (frank/blunt for sure) but I cant be offended as I have asked the 6Speed family for advice on the 996/997 debate as well as pricing guardrails of each of the platforms; I weighed all the advice and did a ton of pricing research before deciding on my particular car. However, you are completely correct, everyone should feel great about the price they paid for their PCar, they get in your soul way before they get in your head.

I paid $76.5K for mine, 2008 Targa 4S, CPO - Boardwalk Porsche, 6year 100K Warranty, 20'' Modulare M-14 3 Piece Forged Wheels, IPOD/UBS, Bluetooth (Porsche Installed), Full Leather Guards Red/Black, Hard Wired for Radar Dectector.

I was so comfortable with the price that I didnt even consider it a factor. After driving it for most of the day yesterday, the retail price will never cross my mind again...she has my soul! DMac225

I am further North, RGP, by Wakeland HS. I'm looking forward to seeing all the PCar owners in the area. Boardwalk has a rally this Spring and I plan on being there to meet some of the guys.

Nice, congrats, enjoy it in good health. The red interior is a bit much but as long as you like it, that is all that matters.
