I'm with redridge - in paper it's almost a 2 year old car and you would be paying pretty close to full price.

If you're spending that kind of money go the whole way and get an '07 or do as suggested and get the GT3

Each to his own. Personally, the C2S' prices are gradually dropping. The 05's can be had in the mid 60's at the moment. Be patient and you will be rewarded with a great buy.

For that price range you might consider a low mileage Turbo,GT3, or C4. Maybe not 100 miles, but low miles nonetheless.

My friend is selling his '04 C4S Cab for $69k, has under 12k miles & is very cool. You should buy that .

For that kind of money, why don't you just order a new one and get exactly what you want?
