Price Check

I purchased an 06 Boxster S in June as a weekend toy and have experienced 911 envy ever since. I really wanted a 997 all along but was unsure it would get any use so didn't want to commit that much $$. I immediately made a secret (from my girlfriend) deal with myself that I could get a 911 as soon as the small lien on the Box is paid off.

Started innocently looking around for the "perfect" 911...

Then this shows up and decided I could have just paid cash for the Box is the first place so what is the hold up!

2009 997.2 S Cab
Black/black/black
6sp
9800 miles
Sport chrono
Heat/vent power seats
Nav
Bluetooth
Bose, Sirius
Self dimming mirrors
Dynamic lights etc...
Sticker new was just shy of $110k.

Price: $67,100.

Is it worth it? Is this a deal i cant possibly pass up? I'm a little apprehensive MOSTLY because I just went through this 4 months ago for what is pretty much a Boxster replica. And that car is fantastic... BUT this is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Thoughts?

Btw - the Boxster is up for sale now on autotrader & Planet 9 classifieds in case anyone wants to help make my decision. I'm willing to take a slight loss (couple thousand) when taxes are factored in...

Obviously a very good price if CPO. If not, how much warranty remains?

I paid 61k for my 07 4S with 18k. Looks like a good deal to me...if CPO.

Go for it.

Unfortunately it is not CPO but it does have 1 year left of warranty. I believe it was a lease turn in that ended up at Carmax.

Yep...I didn't get CPO on mine and I haven't had any issues since purchase in Jan of 20011. I thought about an aftermarket warranty, which was offered but I didn't spend the money. The car has been rock solid and no issues except for normal maintenece, and new brakes for the front. I had an Indy do the brakes with OEM parts and saved a bundle i'm sure.

The dealer in my area is quite expensive. Jump on that deal though. I wish I had the DFI engine!

Sounds like a fair price for a cab. You might want to check out it's service/maintenance records at Porsche but if its got a year left on warranty you're pretty much covered.

Black on Black is stunning but requires a lot of attention. I know being the owner of a 'Black/Black' 2005. Just remember if you buy this car . . . . "Black isn't a color, it's a hobby".

Good Luck!

If nothing wrong with the engine readout, I'd hit it.

09 has DFI
< 10k miles
Triple black
Good seats, chrono, what about PASM?

$67 is a good price, $65 would be ROBBERY!

Good luck.

I believe it has PASM. The carfax is clean. It will be in Florida in two weeks (having it shipped from California). I will be able to take a look at it, have PPI done then decide.

Here are a few pics:





I love having black cars. Currently have 3. Taking care of them is part of my personal hobby/thrill!

I believe all 'S' cars have PASM.

Are you shipping it to Florida before buying it?

Mod #1 is to remove the Carfax sticker on the back. Car looks fantastic!
