The price is great but my question to the dealer would be why did the original owner sell after a couple months of ownership. If the dealer is offering the car for $18K under MSRP, the original owner probably took at least a $20K hit not including another $5 - $6K in taxes and fees. Unless the previous owner was a multi-millionare, that's a huge hit.

My dealer has all sorts of stories such as this,.....yes, there are many people out there where a $20k hit is nothing.

When I ordered my 2011 C4s a brand new white Boxster Spyder was in the showroom with a used tag on it,.....1k miles. Husband bought it as a birthday present for wife,....she didn't like it. Back to the dealer is went. Got her a loaded 911 instead,....now sweat.

You name it, a Porsche dealer has probably seen it.

This is the only pic I have so far, but I will post more soon. The car is being prep and details. I will pick it up Saturday morning.
As far as I know about the previous owner, it was an older gentlemen who has bought a few cars from them. I believe he got between 4-5% off. He traded it in for a cayenne diesel.
The car is in a perfect condition with no history of any accidents. My salesperson said that things has been pretty slow around where I live. I was also offer a demo 991s black on black with 3000 miles for 102000 (Msrp 118000).

Slow sale in Tampa for Porsches? I would never imagine.

nice one! I'm actually a bit older than I look (I just turned 30 last month). I'm very fortunate to have a good job and investments to be able to afford this car. It has always been my dream car since I was little.

Good for you! Enjoy your dream car!!!

Congratulations. Pg103 - I am also 30, my car's build completion date was the day of my 30th birthday. It has always been a dream of mine to have a 911 and my career allows it (being single and childless, doesn't hurt either).

I've been driving this car for about a week now and I'm loving every second of it. I'm always trying to find an excuse to run errands so I can take it out. I thought I might have regretted not getting PSE, but the stock exhaust sounded just right. I just got the car tinted and clear bra put on. My next project is to install a radar detector. Does anyone have any thought or suggestions?

Ditto on the congrats and sorry I might have missed it did you get a warranty extension , im sure it was CPO .... I asked because I drove a similar car here and am getting the run around about warranty coverage

it;s never good to assume that others have done, everyone has their reasons.. a good discount up front means less loss, trade in means saving the tax (at least in my state).. so on and so forth..

i sold mine after 3 months and 8k miles and didn't lose a dime.. it's all in the numbers and how you can make it work for you..


tampa is weird, in the 3 months i had my 991 i never saw another on the road, even in miami i only saw 1... i think they screwed people too hard on 997.2's before the 991 came out and people feel taken advantage of. LOL.

single and childless is the way to go,

reeves? car looks good.. the 991S has basically the same setup as the 997.2 w/ PSE had, just without the baffles.. thats why it sounds so good, not much to do to make it sound better unless you get rid of the center muffler which only a few companies have made product for yet..

in tampa i wouldn't even reccomend radar unless you live in largo/USF areas... not to sound conceited but have you gotten pulled over in the 911 yet? just my theory but most cops see a sports car and know you have the money to fight the ticket and just dont write it.... i would just drive smart and not worry about it.. radar's seem to give me a false sense of security and lead to more speeding imo... versus just driving smart w/ traffic and slightly (or in florida case, highly) above the limit...

only times cops have been dicks to me is largo/USF areas

i really dont think CPO is needed since cars are so new, i doubt they would have just thrown it in.. car is too youn and CPO costs them just about as much as they usually add on top/that noone is willing to pay.

Congrats on the purchase and I'm glad you finally got your dream car !! The red is amazing looking, any plans for modifications ? It seems a lot of people like the K-40 radar detectors and laser jammers. I would also consider some Lamin-X if you haven't done so already.
