Have a PPI done and take it from there.

4s under $20K is a decent start for negotiating on a Tip, what's the actual price, got a link to the car?

The tips are really cheap right now.
I happen to think 18K is a steal for a 4S with tip but it never hurts to try for better.

Good luck.

If that's it it looks pretty nice. As long as it hasn't had a major accident, could be a decent buy.

I agree. But the sellers feedback rating is eh...

Still could be a winner.

That car is here in Vegas where I live, looks very very clean have the guys at Carls Porsche or Trophy Performance have a look at it. For few hundred bucks you might get great deal and know what you are getting...

It looks like the cheapest 4s in the entire country, seeking an even lower price might be asking a bit much, but hey it's worth a try. Have a PPI performed by a TRUE Porsche expert and if it passes buy it.
