I'm picking up the car next week.

I traded my Tesla Plaid for it. The dealer gave me over what I originally paid for the Plaid including the taxes. I paid about 3k over the sticker price of the 2020 C2S but 2k under the current 2022 sticker price on the same car with the same options.

I ended up saving $10,000 in taxes by trading in my Tesla so I went for it. I hope it holds its value just in case I want to trade it for an R8 in a couple years.

I did it. I am waiting for my allocation for my second 992 and currently driving a used 992 that I paid above msrp for.

If you are nervous to pay over sticker for a used car, why do it? I would use my own judgment rather than asking for advice from others who may have money to throw away. 911s are also very expensive to repair so having a new car warranty is very valuable.
if you are willing to wait, I would order s car from the factory based on your preferences.

Here's one that sold for under sticker.
Maybe market is not what dealership's say it is?

If time is an issue (health), then do it. If not, buy something else. Everyone here pontificates on this situation getting worse over the next few years. However, economic cycles and history say otherwise. The problem is that the current bull run has lasted so long that people have simply forgotten how economics work.

Except you can’t always get your money back.

OP, if your question is ‘am i buying at the peak and likely to lose serious coin if I sell in two years?’, the answer is most likely yes.

If the question is, ‘should I buy it?, only you can answer that.

That has to be the fastest time from asking for advice to making a decision in the history of Rennlist.

That was one hell of a price. I don't like the colors but that is cheap!

This is what dealers are paying for 2020 C2S's right now. There are fee's added onto these numbers as well +++.

I was thinking the same. What a great price for low mileage S.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again here.

You can always make more money. Time? Not so much.

Your choice.

The market is paying more for your existing car as well, it's the changeover amount you need to consider. People often forget to mention that.
