Post Which is better?

So I have a tough choice here... A 2008 C4S Targa with Automatic (with Sports Chrono) and only 6k miles v/s a 2009 C2S with PDK & Sports Chrono and 23k miles. The 2008 C4S is priced 7k more than the 2009 C2S. Given these choices, which one would be a better buy?

I keep hearing of IMS issues with pre-2009. Is this a valid concern? Any advice is appreciated!

This shouldn't be a tough choice at all. The pdk over tip tonic hands down. Also the upgraded electronics, higher hp rating, better fuel mileage, etc.

That is a tough decision. I specifically wanted a 4S. If I were in the market I would have to have a 4S again and it would have to be an 09+. My advice would be to find another 09 that is a 4S. There should be plenty of them out there.

Those are two different body styles. Initially I had thought I wanted a Targa, however it was the wide body that I was after for my first one. You also have a 3rd choice, wait until you can get the right one.

What body style are you after?
