Guys, I think I found one with 90% of my unicorn requirements. Maybe is the desperation to get the car soon, but I think the price is OK (not a great deal, but reasonable giving other available options).
I am completely out of my mind to pay this?
CPO, Manual, good color, PSE, 4 new tires...
16.8k miles,
MSRP: 117385
asking: 80500 (with shipping from FL to CA included)
(sorry about pic quality salesmen sent me via text, so it was downscaled)
Not a bad deal in this buyers environment today. Only drawback is no Sport Chrono. Being a manual, not as much of a deal breaker than a PDK.
Has SPASM and PSE though which is nice. Great color combo, and CPO =

Is that Porsche of West Broward? If so, they do carry a large number of fleet, corp cars, but from my own experience you shouldn't have anything to worry about.... For sanity, if this is the car you want, ask for a fellow RL'r to stop by and check the car out for you. That is exactly what I did when I purchased my GTS recently!
Only other thing I'd point out if this is in fact at P-WB in FL is that they offer free transport to any location in the states but get them to confirm transport type -- they offered me the same, but it was "open transport" and not an enclosed trailer. I definitely would NOT take them up on open transport, but they also offered enclosed for another $500 (in my case FL to PA). Ultimately, I decided to just fly down and drive the car home myself! Much more fun!
Expensive build but not where I would put it. Worst control scheme with PDK without SC and no paddle shifting.
Although it has black leather with ventilated 14-way seats it doesn't count as a luxury cruiser, to me, with no Burmester and skipping the steering wheel heating.
The wheels are heavy and expensive and IMHO only look good with the half black paint option at the time. Also not a friend of the silver colored plain S tachometer.
I bet it makes for killer first impressions, though. DMB, full black leather and all accessories clear (lights etc). I think they will find a non-HFS buyer in Arizona.
The asking price on this one is down to $80k. (It started at $89k!) believe the tachometer is actually black, the silver color being a reflection.
Could the wheels be painted to tone them down a bit?
Here's a quick update on the 2013 Carrera S I bought last week. I took delivery on Saturday morning. As described, the car was flawless. Not a scratch on it. The Mercedes dealer overfilled it with oil, so I had to drain out a liter in order to turn off the warning on the dash. Interesting to find out the car doesn't have a dipstick. The espresso interior is beautiful. I wasn't sure if I would like it. All of my cars have had black interiors. The espresso interior looks very classy and upscale.
Anyone looking at this one? Talk about a hot car. Many pics now up!! Looks NEW! No need to run around in circles discussing the bad ones when there are cars like this. We spend more time talking about the roughed up dogs than the hot ones like these
THIS IS HFS MATERIAL HERE
We didn't make our mark on RL here by featuring bottom of the barrel run of the mill, overpriced, and beat up 991's.
Ha, ha. I knew somebody would comment on that. Poser boy I'm not.
I'm getting ready to change the oil and air filters. Raised the spoiler to gain access to the screws.
Bonus points for working on your own car! Definitely a legitimate excuse for the otherwise lame parked-with-spoiler-up' pic...
(Though I will confess I took many pictures of my old '04 with the spoiler up, though I think that generation didn't look quite so silly in parked-with-spoiler-up mode)

Good Luck!
Yes, I am strongly inclined to get this car.
Will call the salesmen now to see if he can clarify the carfax. The car was not titled until it had 8k miles, and this was in Atlanta where PCNA has an office. Is either a corporate car....or one of those that they use on Porsche Experiences in Atlanta (if is this case might be an abused car)
If any RL is in near Porsche of West Broward and could look the car for me it would be great.
Regarding open delivery for the car....Is that bad? Isn't just having the car cleaned/detailed after shipping enough?
Thank you George! Every time, I drive, mod or work on her with my daughter I thank you. Time was of the essence and you delivered real time help! BTW, driving through a tunnel with the new headers, awe and sharkwerks is simply awesome, better than my 993 super cups! She helped handing me all the tools needed and managed to only misplace - in her coat pocket - only two bumper screws. I think she was going to put them in her piggy bank or purse. The box holds the GT spoiler, but that will wait until the summer. If we get one here!

Congrats on the car purchase. Nothing is free.....! We all pay one way or another.
How much did they hit you up for a doc fee? I've read FL is very high as the state doesn't apply a cap.

You only get one pass with a new car for leaving the spoiler up for pics while parked.
