Default New Member.....Looking at first P car

Hi All,

I'm thinking about selling my 2003 M5 and getting my first P Car. Living in Hawaii does not afford me many options so when this one appeared it sparked my interest. It is a 2007 Meteor Grey/Cocoa Turbo with 20,300 on the clock. Below is a link to the website. Just wondeing if the asking price is about right for the options or should I be offering something a little less. Thanks in advance.

Rich

I have the exact same car - and I love it. Never have had single problem. Also, looks a lot better in person than in the photos. I was nervous about the cocoa interior, but it actually looks great.

If you could get that for $80K that would be a steal!!! Beautiful car!

Meteor/Cocoa is gorgeous. Can't get any better than that.
And it has the rare comfort seats to boot!
Good price for a PCCB equiped car with that mileage, whatever you knock off the price is a bonus. Go for it.
I just got an Arctic/Cocoa Turbo last week and am happy as can be.

Very nice.

The options list shows 'leather PCM package' but the pictures show basic volcano crap gray finish. Ask if there is any history to the PCM being replaced. If that option was true, the entire PCM faceplate section would be cocoa leather, and would look stunning too.

Not a deal breaker, but get the VIN and ask Porsche for the original build sheet.

I saw that too, also the option list shows *** with leather backs.
I suspect the reseller is using a Porsche online configurator sheet from the first owner which decided against a few options. Either that or this car has been tampered with, easy enough to find out.

Edit: window sticker is clearly readable and no mention of *** or Leather PCM.

Eric,
I once owned a 2002 M5. I believe you will love this Porsche.

Thanks everyone for all the advice. I ended up pulling the trigger and picked it up today. All I can say is...

Zero Cool, I think you should change your user name to 'Uber Cool'
What a great car you got !
Honestly, if you would have let this one go you were not really going to buy one anyway. That car is just incredible. I have looked at it over and over again since you posted the link. The yellow brakes combined with the deviated stitching on cocoa is really perfect. The first owner did a great job on speccing that car. And low mileage and great price make it a complete dream.

Since we all helped you so much I think it is only fair you post tons of (decent size) pictures.
