Making an offer on C4S
I think I've found the right car:
2003 C4S Seal Gray, black leather, xenons, sport exhaust, crests in the seats, brake shifter and hand brake in leather and alum, heated seats, colored wheel caps, bose, and alum and chrome pkg, new tires. 15K, CPO to 12/08, 1 owner car, asking $65K.
What do I offer and what should I expect to pay for this car.

Not to sure about canada.
But around here it is a good idea to check out Edmunds.com, KBB.com, prices on ebay, prices on Autotrader.com. Then make sure that is the car you really want, as many will say don't rush the buy. If its the right car for you then it may be worth spending a little bit more for it.
No one ever spent to much money for something they really wanted, but a lot of people spent very little money for something they were not completely happy with.

Scooped on my deal.
Made the offer negotiated and everything looked good, but the Sales rep was out at the Chicago Autoshow on his cell for this and said he'd call me once he was back at the store. Well just got off the phone with him and someone else sold it from under him while he was out! 
What a drag! i even had the plane ticket reserved to go and see the car on Thursday. Well the hunt continues...

Not sure if you're interested, but here's a good deal on a 2002 C4S for 56K from a highline used car dealer near where I live in Pennsylvania:

Also do a used car search here (you can search Canada or the US):

I check everyday on the porsche pre-owned site: great in the US (lots of cars), useless in Canada with 3 C4S coupes in the whole country! I also check Autotrader, Cars.com, PCA Mart, Rennlist classified too.
Anyone feel free to let me know about any leads on one.

Buy one from here.......You may pay more, but if you re-sell you will get more, And I know others have brought this up, Porsche Cars Canada might not warranty it for you.. I never said it was right, its just the way it could end up..Ask a few other owners that brought cars in from the states and they will tell you.I hope it works out for you.

Paul, if you know anyone who's thinking of selling their C4S, let me know.
I called Porsche Cars Canada to ask about the waranty issue with importing a US car into Canada, and they were categorical: the warranty is valid at ANY authorized Porsche Dealer in N.A.. He went a step further to tell me that Canadian dealers are obligated to service your vehicle; it is not up to their discretion.
I just want to find the right car at a fair market value price whether in Canada or the US, but I won't settle for something that I won't be happy with long term just because it has the right "citizenship".
So the search continues...

They usually get interesting cars, and some classic Benz's and Rolls Royces.
