Good Deal?
Fair Deal?
Overpriced?

Will a dealer give these numbers any credibility in a negotiation?

One thing of note is that the Carfax shows it as entering dealer inventory on June 24th, 7 weeks ago. So the stuff the salesman was feeding me about being "not sure" if the car would be there in 10 days was so much wishful thinking on his part.
It's Porsche of Arlington. The sales staff have a reputation in the DC area and my personal experiences with them align with that reputation.

Does it have to be a yellow manual convertible?

I have a feeling that car is going to sit for quite a while. It isn't cheap, most folks don't want a yellow car, and manuals are harder to sell (especially in a convertible).

For my wife, yeah. She's dead set on both manual and yellow. She doesn't care about the rest, she'd probably be fine with a base. I was a bit psyched because it was a manual GTS convertible.

She's now against this because she likes her Cayman, doesn't like the yellow instrument dials, and doesn't like the look of the alcantara seats or the carbon fiber trim.

Here's a loaded 2014 C4S for sale you can find on the PCA Mart, with low miles, X51, PDCC, Burmeister, LED, etc. Manual tranny too! He is in Dawsonville GA, looking for best offer, but asking $115k

Listed at $115K. Yikes!
I am currently a serious buyer for something in this class/category but that sounds pricey.

The car is solid but it may be time for a new wife!

Agreed. The build is key, but as many of us have come to know, options in the after market ain't worth much . . .

I would rather have the $170k msrp '13 C2S, 15k miles, that was posted earlier for under $98k.... (assuming the PCCBs checked out).

At $115k, well, you are competing against some very well equipped (and perhaps similarly equipped) GTS's out there.

No question that it has a very nice build, though!

7 Speed Manual, PCM Nav, Carrera S Powerkit, PDCC, Sunroof, 9 Speaker Burmeister audio, 18 Way Premium Adaptive Seats, Fully Leather Interior (incl Door Panels, Air Vents, Seat Backs, Dash Trim, etc), LED Headlights, incl Porsche Dynamic Light System, 20" Carrera Classic Wheels, Lo-Jack, Full body speedcoat, Always garaged, non-smoker. BEST OFFER Original MSRP $165,845.
Mileage: 10,500
Exterior Color: Black
Interior Color: Natural Espresso Leather

MSRP sounds about right. My C4S is $138k without the X51, Burmeister, and leather every where.

Leather air vents though? I would consider that a deduct since the glue tends to peel after time due to the condensation.

I've seen crazy builds like that on turbos but for a C4S... that's insane.

imo $105k including fresh CPO would sound a little better.

Those kind of builds come up every once in a while...
