Been lurking for some time here and appreciated all the info. I actually picked up this 2012.5 C2S late last year / Nov '18. Figured it was finally time to join the forums. Nice to meet you all!
Wanted to get some input/opinions on the deal I got?
Personally from lurking and researching around, felt like I didn't do amazing on the price but got a decent deal none the less. Honestly was looking for 3-4 months for a C2S 991.1 since this was the generation that really did it for me in terms of looks. Turns out C2S's on the west coast under 60k were not really a thing even up to like 65k ish miles. A few here and there were $61-62k with higher mileage. Ended jumping the gun on this one even though it didn't have a lot of options I wanted like Sport Chrono, cooled seats, or PSE. Car was bought from a dealer with no CPO for $58.5k with 46k miles at the time.
Some more details:
- Clean History / No Accidents
- Had 40k service done, all service records were included
- Did a PPI with a local Porsche Dealership, came back clean
- Turns out the previous owner added 5mm spacers to rear wheels? Looks fine / stock to me and have debated looking into getting them taken out.
- Is stock otherwise
- Not really loaded... a few nice options like heated full leather, navi, bose, PDLS, sunroof, PDK (a must for my only car)
- 3 Past Owners (sad face, now 4 if i resell)
I've put about 10k miles on it in the past 8 months as it is my DD, so no regrets ... yet. Hopefully will be fortunate enough one day to upgrade to a 991 Turbo S or something.
Appreciate any input on the above! Will probably sell and try and upgrade before I hit too excessive of miles.
The spacers could be factory options.... Mine had them OEM. That is a great deal. The options are interesting when you are reading online but don't materially change there driving experience. A Base 99 with no options gets you 95% and options including higher trims make up the remaining 5%.
Look Mops, you obviously thought the price was reasonable or you wouldn’t have bought the car - right? I don’t understand the point of posting here asking more than 6-months after the fact whether or not you got a good deal. Doesn’t mean you can’t, just that I don’t get it.
Congrats on your purchase. Drive it like you stole it. Trade up in the future. Wash, rinse, repeat.
