Much appreciated on the feedback! STG - I don't intend to buy from BHP (unless i can lowball and they accept for example) - I don't have high hopes for that. I was only using that car as an example of a configuration that is acceptable to me.
911seeker - woops you are right that is a little higher optioned than I thought. I probably don't need most of those, but I wouldn't mind having them (and paying a small adder for them). I'm actually pretty flexible on the build, though I would love to have sport exhaust
I definitely don't mind shopping out of LA (San Diego, Santa Barbara, Carlsbad) would be acceptable. Outside of CA -- I would be willing to pay a small premium to avoid having to do that. As I would have to pay shipping, and I would want to personally fly out and see the car before dropping ~80K. So I guess I will be willing to pay 3-4K more to avoid shopping out of state. (I think shipping alone will be ~2k, plus travel costs, and hassle?)
But besides that adder for shopping in Socal, I definitely want to get a decent deal. I haven't seen anything (2014 2S) asking price CPO for less than 80K, so I am trying to understand what should be my opening bid on some of these cars. So it seems like 75K + a california adder of ~3-4k if using this vehicle as an example?
I am assuming there is some price flexibility beyond the asking prices I find in Cargurus, and the porsche finder right? Probably not at BHP, but say at a less popular dealer like Carlsbad or San Diego?
BTW, I saw the lime green one this thread was talking about on Carmax. It looks like it's back again. 72K seems like a low price... but I hate the color I'll definitely be looking out for any more 2014's that might show up there as well.
2015 GTS with PDK, SPASM, 18 ways, Bose, and much more.
$33K off MSRP with 5,500 miles. One owner.
At a Mercedes dealer. I've heard, they're dealing. Maybe you can get it for $105K or close to it? I'd go in ready to rumble. I think they may have been asking $119K for it initially.
I'm local to Porsche of San Diego, just in case you need a Renncheck®.
And on a completely unrelated note:

I've said it before - it's the only option that allows me to autocross using only my pinky finger. BEST. OPTION. EVER.
It will add thousands to resale and turn your run of the mill 991.1 into a true masterpiece, highly sought after by discerning collectors for decades to come.
This one was sold last week. Dealer sent me an email with a $101.5k bottom line price (if I wanted it).
I never trust a seller whose ad is in ALL CAPS! Maybe it's just me, but I'd be willing to bet that a study with a statistically valid sample would yield results that the % of dogs is greater with ads written in all caps.
I had negotiated this car to 101.5 too, but then I got uneasy about the dealer's style, the weirdly badgeless rear-end, and the all caps. definitely the all caps. who writes an ad for a 100k car like that?!
