Is This A Good Deal on C4S Cab?

Looking at 2010 C4S Cab with 9,000 miles that is CPO. Car is 2 years old and lease return. Original MSRP 127,000. Dealer will replace PDK button steering wheel with PDK paddle shifter wheel. Want $99,000.

I think it sounds high for a two year old used car.

I agree. Wait 6 months until the 991 drops and you're not paying the premium for cabriolet weather (i.e. summer).

OP -without seeing and driving, it is hard to say with any certainty how good a deal it may be. I do have a few questions:
- when was it originally delivered? With 9000 miles seems like it should be an early 2010 or even late 2009 delivery, but if it is a late 2010 then 9000 miles might get my attention a bit more. Checking the VIN details can answer it.
- does it have Sports Chrono Plus? PDK is enhanced with Sports Chrono. IMO worth it and needed - not too much fun without it.
- called a CPO but seems like date and mileage would suggest original factory warranty should still be in coverage. I would clarify the type of warranty and extent of coverage.
- price does seem slightly on the high end unless it is in perfect condition. Maybe the dealer will come off 10-15% since they already made money on the lease.

Its a little high but prices have risen greatly in the past 2 months. Anything int he low 90"s would be good.

Although not a direct comp, I just picked up a leftover new, old stock 2010 C2S Coupe with 140 miles for $81k. Sticker was $104k. I agree that low to mid 90's seems reasonable with CPO.

Looks like the 2010's are commanding asking prices around 80% of sticker. Seems high. I would wait on the 991 as well to see what happens to values. It may not do as much as we think due to lower supply of 2008-2010 models, but it's worth a try.

Car has build date of 6/09 and was delivered 8/09 so I think mileage is reasonable.

It does have sport chrono plus which I agree is a must.

It is Porsche CPO so has remaining 2 years warranty plus 2 years of CPO warranty for a total of 4 years warranty. Not bad.

Haven't seen it personally but pics look like condition is good if not excellent.

10-15 percent off seems like a lot but I would take it!!

Good eye, I missed that. You are correct, it's a must have with the PDK.

I think getting another 15% off that would definitely be a stretch IMO after having gone through nearly 6 months of looking at used 2010/2011 911s. The used market is indeed high right now, you could wait another 6 months but that's another 6 months without a car you want. When it comes down to it, these are depreciating assets so if instant happiness costs you a few grand more now, that may be worth it. Without knowing your particular geographic market, I'd say mid 90s would be doable. Also if you're trading in, depends what you'll get on that since that is part of the deal. Just my 2c, if it's the car you want with the options you want, work on a deal you feel benefits both parties. And post pics after you take delivery

These cars can be hard to find and went quick when I was shopping. I did pick up a fully loaded 2009 C4S Cab for $81K back in May. Included CPO, SC, PDK. Love the car.
First time with CPO, it adds a whole new dimension to use. 100,000 mile warranty, love that.

Agreed, this is another thing I should've mentioned. My dealer got in a great meteor grey C2S when I was looking, I thought "I'll just go look at it in 2 days" and when I did, an out of state buyer had wired the money that afternoon. Used cars are going fast, my trade-in sold in under a month and most others locally last 2 weeks on average.

You can add SC at the dealership for about $1200.
