In the buyer's defense, anything to break up the ugly face of the old MF steering wheel might feel desirable. I don't recall whether wood was cheaper can carbon fiber, but CF isn't everybody's taste either.

Nice build but no SPASM. Less than 3k miles, CPO. High ask of 120k but they want to move this car, $115k would likely get the deal done.

That GTS in San Antonio is really clean- same dealer also has a well optioned base 911. Would have made an offer had it had the alcantara interior. Either way, the dealer is pretty motivated to move them as of a week ago.

I am just not a fan of wood in the interior of the 911...strikes me as odd.

YMMV...

On HFS, we're specializing in 991.1's.

For 991.2 pre-owned Carrera's there's this thread. Interest hasn't been high by the participation. Hopefully it picks up.

Hi all.
Anyone have a good contact at PORSCHE Bellevue that knows about HFS? Or have used a good guy there? Thanks as always!

Ask for Ahren. I'm working with him now to find something, and he's been super helpful. I haven't mentioned HFS to him yet (I don't know if we want dealerships posting to this thread), but I have been softening him up on how much I want to pay. If we combine our frugal forces, maybe we can get even a better deal!

Yeah, dealerships and board sponsors post in the classifieds. We have a more objective view here of what a high quality car is. We're not on commission trying to sell anything on the lot.

If I do see a car at a dealer I'm familiar with, I do post a contact if I have one. That way it's an easy in for a buyer having a contact to start with and hopefully get a good deal. The few guys I'm familiar with are top notch brand ambassadors. Way better than some cold call.
