Default Can I get some feedback om this car?

Anyone know the car or the dealership? Seems like a decent deal. Looking to trade up from my 996 tip cab.

Anyway to tell if the wheels are factory painted? I don't see it listed as an option.

Thanks everyone!

Hard to tell from the pictures since they're not very good. The one closeup of a wheel looks like the extra cost platinum finish, the side views look painted black. Call and ask what's up with them.

Agree with mtbscott. Can't tell from the pics whether it's the wheels painted platinum or wheels painted black option. Also make sure you like (or can remove) the black stone guards. Standard stone guards on my 2013 C2S coupe are clear (maybe it was different for 2012?).

Interesting it has the red brake calipers of the S also.

The silver 2012 cab S with Chrono they have for a bit more money looks pretty sweet!

It is an Audi dealership. They are feigning ignorance regarding the wheels, stone guards and even the red painted calipers. Porsche dealerships nearby no longer offer PPI services....

I found a link to when it was originally sold - so at least you can compare the photos - maybe even call the dealership.

I guess that confirms the wheels, stone guards and even the red painted calipers are in fact aftermarket. Any idea what that does to resale values? Is $91k a good enough price?

No PSE? I'd say that's a must have.

Looks like a good build, but would go for a S and less option IMO.

PSE, I would skip and go aftermarket, louder and HP gains and reduce weight, love my FVD exhaust

I would pass. It is a bit overpriced for a car that is over a year old. Someone has made some after market mods and you do not know the quality of them. The seller doesn't know what he is selling (lists 19" wheels when they are clearly the 20" S wheels). For that amount of money I am sure you can find some great cars out there.

Take a lot at this one.... http://www.porschenashua.com/new/Por...d0be2a8b92.htm

Is any one local to this car? Price seems pretty good considering $115k sticker. None of the local P-car dealerships offer PPI's. Is there an Indy alternative?

Those are not Porsche brake calipers, some aftermarket with the world's worst "PORSCHE" lettering. Looks lame. My dealer (Stevinson imports in Denver has a new white 2013 S cab for $113k, msrp $122)

The Audi dealer finally admitted that all was after-market. Wheels, calipers and mud guards. I am going to pass. Thanks for all the help and feedback!
