Haha, I saw this one yesterday and got a kick out of the steering wheel swap.

It's back! The repairs of the 2013 accident must look awful in person. It has been floating around at Carmax since May, 2015! At that time, it was priced at $86,998. It is now priced $20K lower, and no one wants it.

Mine had a low battery as well... Ended up cutting apart the module to replace the non-replaceable batteries. How much easier would it have been to just pick up a pair of $1 glasses two weeks ago?

Wow, who would do that? Completely lame... I love the Sport Design steering wheel, but get the one without paddles if your putting it on a MT car!

Last three hops were LA, SF, now in Roseville... Car probably has more miles on the back of a transport than on the odometer.

It must have had a bunch of test drives, too. It had 13K miles when advertised in 2015, 25K miles now.

Lime gold shows well if photographed correctly. At this rate, CarMax should do a nice detail of the car, get a professional photographer, take some shots in nature....and lower the price for at least another $5,000

...but it seems to just become the next locations problem when it gets shipped off to the next customer who reserves it. They just don't seem set up to adjust on a car like this.

It also never stays 'available' for very long, so it probably doesn't trip whatever automated price adjustment systems they have?

In the pictures, it appears that the color of the "bumper" does not match the paint on the rest of the car. I wonder if it is more impressive in person? It would be interesting to know details about the accident.

I've seen some pretty rough Carmax 911's... Others have bought beautiful examples. This one likely falls into the first category.

Well, we'll see if it shows up again. Regarding the extra miles since 2015, I think some of the miles reflect it being moved to the next location. A friend of mine just bought a SL550 from CarMax and the car was driven to the nearby location. Nice for whoever is a CarMax driver

Default Decisions Decisions - Need your advice

Hi guys,
Need your help to decide which car to get. This is going to be my 1st 911. Looking at two beautiful cars basically the same color with similar packages. I am sure I would be very happy with either. It is not going to be a garage queen as I plan to drive it as much as possible. Except that I don't plan to use it in the snow.
  1. 2017 911 Carrera C2 MT CPO with 3,270 miles - price $89K
  2. 2014 911 Carrera S C2 MT CPO with 3,612 miles - price $90.9K (I am trying to get them down to $90K)

Which one would you get? I would love to talk on the phone (here is my cell 908-917-8070) to some of the long term 911 owners (i.e., experts/addicts/veterans) to discuss in more details why you recommend either car.

Thank you in advance,
Guido
