Fellow 6Speed Members,

I sold my 09 C2S about a year ago, I'm considering getting another and would like opinions on the following car:

2009 C2S with less then 10,000 miles
250 - Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
619 - Bluetooth Phone Interface
640 - Sport Chrono Package Plus
680 - Bose High End Sound Package
870 - Universal Audio Interface
B4 - Carrara White
FC - Sea Blue Sport Seats
P03 - Sport Bucket Seats
XSH - Seat Belts - Silver

I was looking for a car with Adaptive Sport Seats but like the Buckets BUT have never spent a lot of time in the. I am 5'11 late 40's 200lbs and good condition so getting in and out is not an issue. My wife will also be driving, she is 5'2" and very athletic. Will the Buckets be a mistake due to limited adjustability?

What are your general thoughts on the car and options?

?Does P03 adversely effect the value?

What number would you put on the car with CPO?

Thanks,

Rodney

 

I'd say about 60-62-ish with the low miles and CPO. Sounds like a decently optioned car... not sure about blue interiors.

 

Sounds like a very nice car. The sport seats are highly desirable to many. I have them in my C4S that was just delivered Tuesday. I haven't found a graceful way to get in or out of them yet but I love them while I'm in them. With those options, CPO, and low miles... $65K

 

Thanks for the opinions fellows, I've had Sea Blue in the past and like it. I need darker a interior due to kids and I wear jeans which transfer (Crocking) on lighter colors.

Keep it coming 6Speed'ers

 

Have you got into and out of a 911 with the sport buckets? If you plan to use the car often, it will get old. Since most people who buy these 911 variants will use it often they will shy away from cars with sport buckets.

If you were selling a GT3 or GT2, than the sport buckets are a plus. Since the buyers are looking for a track ready car and not looking for DD comfort.

 

Adaptive sport seats are very doable for a daily driver.
The bucket seats are annoying long term. Can have a wallet in your pocket without feeling it.
You sit on a normal seat. You are hugged by an adaptive seat and you sit IN a bucket seat
Nice car though.

 

My CPO'd C2S PDK with 28k miles negotiated down to $61k. So it had more more miles and no buckets, but did have adaptive sport seats, full leather, ventilated & heated seats, heated steering wheel, and Nav on top of all of the options you mention (plus new rock guards and Nav data updated to latest 2014). I'd think that you'd be able to get closer to mid-to-high $50s if you are willing to press on the negotiations.

Whatever you do, don't tell them you like the sport buckets even if you do. Make it seem like something you are settling on against your better judgement.

 

I have an 09c2s and have no complaints about the bucket seats.... I have cream white with the sea blue and get lot s of complements on the combo and they are not seen often. Dealer even commented on it.

PO3 will not adversely effect the price... I have heard guys on this site trying to get their sport adaptive seats removed, so to each his own.

My car came from Ft Meyers Porsche down by you. less than 5K miles when I got it two years ago.
Orig sticker price?

 

Thanks to everyone for your opinions, I need to go park my butt in these seats for a few hours.

Cerbomark,

Gorgeous car! I remember looking at your car at the dealer in FM, hopefully they wiped my slobber off the windshield before they deliver it to you…. LOL

 

Really??? Two years ago this Feb... It was a good experience with FM. Drove it home to NY.
I agree that you need to decide something like seats for yourself after you sit in them.

 

Yep, looked at it two times, really dig the cream white; if it had only had PDK….

 

LOL, I drove 3K miles to get a 6 speed, coupe....
