local dealer has 05 CS with sport seats/sports mode .9K miles .wants 75 i'll offer 67 ,question I plan some upgrades,how does upgrade to suspensions affect the sport mode opinion,does it become worthless ,opinion on the offer price ,coming over from the darkside (BMW) thanks Bob

 

75 is too much!

 

My opinion 75 is a little high-but he is trying to justify it with the low mileage on the car. In any case I feel that 67 is a fair number for his car but seems a lot for him to come down on his price...If you look around a little more you might be happy to find some other options.
Some one called me today regarding a 06 white c2s with all the nice options you suggest, same mileage for 74K--(not affliated or anything-I was actively looking and people are still calling me)

I have already found my car and sent a deposit but you can maybe use that as an example. There are always other deals out there.
__A certified preowned car by the way in my opinion would obviously be worth more. Also when you see a car in person and you buy from a porsche dealership you have a way better piece of mind and gaurantee of service and commitment that smaller dealers cannot replace. That in my opinion is worth a couple extra thousand.

 

Sorry to step in but since this an open thread, just a thought: What's the point getting an 05 pre-owned or demo car for 75k whereas you would get a brand new 08 C2 for 73k MRSP? I know, it is an S and there are options but over time a car depreciates by 30% to 35% over the first 3 years (then the curve flattens), options drop some 50 to 60% during the same period (then plummet to eventually zero), modifs fall even faster than options and in some cases have had a negative impact on the value of the car. With a long term view I would say that the more core value you buy, the better.

 

I agree ,I pulled a keely blue book showed top $ @ 69 ,can't see him coming down ,i'll keep looking

 

i would agree to keep looking. you can prob spend less money for a 06 and get an extra year of warranty.
