It's actually 3 years old now since 2013's are readily available. It seems like prices have dropped significantly in the last few months - I've been thinking about selling/trading mine to move into a newer one with fewer miles and up until recently I thought I cold get $105 - $110 for it - now I think I would be lucky to get $100 and it's a $165 msrp with 30K on it. Must be lots of them coming off lease and the old supply and demand rule is in effect

 

Mine stickered for 173k new. I paid less than 100k, let's say with a brand new set michelins pilot sports 98k. The guy was asking 115k two months ago as a private party. He ended up trading it into a small dealer for a cl65, the dealer was asking 110k. I watched her for month and in the end thought I did very well. The exterior and interior look brand new, car smells new. I was specifically stalking this car, but didn't let emotions get the best of me. I waited and lined up finances and talked to the owner of the dealer for two weeks before I pulled the trigger. All in all I am in love with this car. Couldn't be happier. Make a list of what options you want and be patient. I almost made move on a similar car, but it was missing cool seats and rear power seats and large console. Glad I sat back and let things workout. Anyways, good luck.

 

That is one heck of a deal - one of the best I've heard for any car. I can understand why you're so excited. Congratulations!

ps - any leads on some 19" Panamera wheels for my winter tires??

 

Congrats, looks really nice. Coming from a 997.1tt myself, the car is a true joy. And remember, if you need more power there is still the powerkit! Only thing in my experience that is worse, is reliability. Hope yours has had ALL recalls done, its vital for this car functioning. Id check it out rightaway.

 

Your PTT is gorgeous! +1 on the espresso interior...that's what sold me on mine. Well done, by the way on getting the car you wanted!

 

Thanks, yep all recalls done and up to date. I purchased winter tires and a used set of 19's and TPMS....for under 2k. Should have them mounted and then put on the car in early November. Depending on your 19's, you can use Cayenne fitments as well. They may not be staggered, but after tons of rogue on my own research you can use those wheels as well ( 9.5 x 19's or 10x19's) all around.

 

any ideas what recent recalls were out there?

 

Congrats! I need to enlist your services for when I start shopping!
