You guys need to read Torque Chaps post on his Targa GTS and Euro Delivery. Great read and sweet ride.

What do you guys think of the pricing on this one?

It is a pretty good price, but it does not have PSE and SD steering wheel (paddles), which would add ~$5k to retrofit.

You should consider higher-mileage cars if you are going to daily drive it year round; let the first buyer take a bigger depreciation hit.

Thank you! I feel like a higher mileage one, giving the high amount of miles I plan to drive, would results in an even bigger depreciation hit and maintenance costs. If I buy one with 30k miles for example, I'd be at 75k after 3 years.

It's over $40K off MSRP which is fair with 10K miles. I'd get them to CPO it though. Doesn't seem to be included. I'd say $85K or they throw CPO in with asking price.

Most buyers are looking for garage queens, so lower-mileage 911s are in much higher demand.

You can go full nerd and play with permutations of what you will buy ('14 with X miles) vs what you will have three years later ('12.5 with Y miles) to get an idea of projected depreciation. My guess is that buying a higher-mileage car will result in less depreciation.

Find a good indie shop if you want to minimize maintenance costs.

PSE and paddles are "must have" options, regardless

Thanks!

Good luck. Keep us posted. As you've seen, finding a car close to ones "wish list" isn't easy. Depends how flexible you are.

I'm in the camp of liking very low mileage cars. Lower mileage = better cosmetic condition most of the time. Obviously mechanically too. I'm a bit OCD with most stuff, and would rather pay $10K more for a used car with say 5K miles than one with 20K. That's just me.

I saved $30K off MSRP on my car like 3 years ago with around 2K miles and a CPO. Was $90K. I was very happy to have saved a lot off MSRP, and some additional incremental savings for more mileage wasn't a big deal for me. More importantly, found the build I wanted in my price range. Had looked at a few $100-110K cars, but wanted to be $90-$95K.

Obviously, I can't speak for everyone as there are many different opinions out there and budgets.

Like mentioned, the depreciation downside is less at the lower priced, somewhat higher mileage used cars.

This drives me nuts when I see this in sales ads. I must not be alone.

I think you just have liftable flap envy from having a duck.

Burmester, two-tone leather interior, PSE....if it is in good condition, someone is going to wind up with a really nice 911S for a great price!
