Offer $94K. Then move up to $97K.

Don't worry about starting new threads. There are people here that will help and people here that won't. It's the Internet - it's the nature of the beast. If your thread is crazy, it'll quickly disappear by the end of the day.

Good luck.

A C2S with "nearly every option" would be well north of $160.

The CPO here is nice. Go buy it. Buy smart. A few $$ here, a few $$ there, won't really matter in the end. Once you start enjoying the purchase.

That's a deal. Unless you want turbo.

Default enthusiast versus owner/buyer

The forum is useful because the members tend to respect each others time----If you cannot buy a 911 at this point---simply watch the forum discussion regarding people that are buying a 911 to get a feel for price--when you can make a purchase---Make a purchase.

Seems like you are an enthusiast----Respect the forums time----better yet---buy a 2 year membership---Start contributing and you will benefit even more from this forum----Say you find a 911 in Dallas or SoCal---you can often reach out to forum members to inspect a vehicle when you are located out of state---

Cheers

One thing I find interesting is that in general many people negotiate car buying more aggressively than even their house, which to most people on this forum is a cost that is several times more in value than a car. Yet we agonize so much about getting an extra 1% here or added incentives there on a vehicle. Look at the big picture people. The time you are wasting nickle and diming, obsessing over low percentage points is time wasted in your life. I understand the thrill of scoring a good deal - I get that - but when it approaches obssesiveness it hinders the enjoyment in the whole process. Just my two cents. Find a car you like, obtain a reasonable deal and then go for it. Life truly is too short.

Buddy, just pay what you're comfortable paying. What you can do is go to KBB, look for a reasonable range of values and as long as you're paying somewhere within that green range, it's a relatively fair value.

If you're not comfortable paying the price, try negotiating as far as you can. No one here can tell you if there is negotiating room or not because we're not the dealer.

this is b/c the car is a commodity, if i miss out on one I can always get basically the same car if i wait. can't say the same about most homes

its pretty easy to negociate on these cars, but then i did buy the first one i decided i wanted

Give the guy a break. The search can be almost as much fun as driving the car.

In my case I always custom order my Porsches, so that I get the precise car that I want. It's nice getting a slightly used car for $20K less than the first owner paid, but when I pay $100K for a car it has to be the in the interior and exterior colors that I want and optioned the way I want. Getting a huge discount on options that I don't want isn't a good deal as far as I'm concerned.
