A repost I typed up from another thread... Good cars priced fairly move fast. Cars prices too low are too good to be true. Which buyer are you?

Forum summary by 5 primary user types-
1. Used car @ <1000 miles/year. That seller is crazy and the price is too high. They'll never get that price.
1a. I want a cream puff garage queen that's perfect with a long warranty but budget is #2 type. Compares #2 prices with #1 cars.
2. @>5000 miles/year. This seems like a good deal but warranty, mileage, repairs, etc. Too risky.
3. Hey everyone that I don't know or care about your opinion, please give me your opinion. Does this car have every option that the entire internet testifies I should have as mandatory?
4. Low ***** everyone and then has to think about it. Cars seem to constantly be sold out from under them.
5. First post, new user... I liked it so I put a ring on it and my life was changed forever.

I wish I had your steering wheel . . . What year is yours?

Nice wheels, too!

Thanks on the wheels and it is a 2013 - just like yours. I would suggest you look into DSC - dramatically improved the suspension for me, especially when using the sport setting and I wanted a bit more of a growl and installed Soul street headers and the Soul valved exhaust with a Softronic tune -- those couple of things have made this even better than I thought it could be for me.....

By the way ... I'll bet the steering wheel can be swapped .... also it appears your dash is the same color as the interior as mine is black ... wonder if mine is a bit newer after they decided that there was some glare off the lighter colors.....

the Sport Design steering wheel (the one in the picture you want) is a super easy swap.

Congrats on the purchase!

Thanks for the info. May look into this next Spring. My current steering wheel doesn't have any multifunction buttons on it, so in theory it is just a "take the old one off, put the new one on" kind of thing. Probably would have a dealer do it, though - somewhere I read that the dealer has to reprogram the paddle shifters.

yup! my 2013 C2S came with the standard steering wheel, no mf buttons and with the PDK switches. I got another sport design wheel w/PDK paddles off another 991.1. The paddles are way better and more intuitive than the stupid switches for shifting, in my opinion. It's a pretty much plug-and-play swap. I think the dealer programming, which i dont plan to do anyway, is only needed for the neutral function of pulling both paddles to shift into neutral.
