You’d think you’d get a new set of mats and a nice detail job. Car looks dirty. That a scrape next to the tow hook cap? Nice leaves in center radiator too.
Almost has 6K miles. Not like it’s delivery mileage. Anyway .....

I've been following this forum for the past 1.5 years. Thanks to STG for maintaining a great forum to help people to learn and share. I've been looking at the C2S and the GTS (2014-2018). I finally found a well equipped 2015 991.1 C2S PDK that caused me to pull the trigger.
I've been driving a 2010 BMW M3 manual (normally aspirated V8) for the past 8 years, which was a European delivery....a fantastic experience. I loved my M3 and was not sure I would sell it. I've owned a manual cars for 20 years and limited my search for a 7-speed manual 991 for the past couple years as I thorough enjoy the experience of manually rowing the gears. Last week I test drove a 2016 manual and 2015 PDK 991 C2S and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the PDK and pulled the trigger on the PDK.
My M3 was a daily driver. I had a dedicated set of winter tires for Nov-Apr for safe driving under 40 degrees and in snow. I was debating to keep the M3 for winter and drive the 911 for the nice weather. I decided to sell the M3, buy another set of OEM 911 wheels with winter tires. The 911 is very civilized and too amazing to limit it to sunny days. It is now my daily driver.
The car had an original MSRP of $141K and had 18K miles. I paid $93K. CPO for an additional 3 years 7 months or 82K more miles. The car is flawless. I am not sure if it was the best price, but I was very happy as it had all the drivers options I wanted, plus many desirable visual options including SportDesign package, red gauges, red stitched leather, leather dash, carbon interior, Burmester (amazing sound) and black. The only thing I will miss is heated seats.
I put around 500 miles since I purchased it. I drove 40 miles of twisty roads yesterday and I can say the car is absolutely amazing. Nearly perfect. No regrets!!

Have a set of OEM wheels with Michelin Alpin winter/snow tires mounted if you want them.

Agreed PFBZ. I've owned many jet black cars and it requires a special love of the paint.

Thanks STG. I really appreciate all the contributions to this forum. I agree how the price paid is quickly forgotten. I will not think about it again. I smile every day I drive it. Bonus....the wife and kids love the car.

This thread screwed me on at least two cars before I even knew about this thread. I realized that the second you posted them, they were sold, while I was fiddling over negotiations. And nobody in this thread claimed either of them (plausible lurkers). Thankfully as I said when I got my car, this thread missed it, to my great benefit and new 911 ownership happiness.
