Default it's here real n mine😆

After a month of emails and waiting and details... It's here!.. picked it up in Montreal on the way back from a weekend of skiing at Tremblant... what a finish to an already spectacular weekend!
So all said and done, (I've done the relevant conversions to US units) $24,360 including PPI... 2004 c4s cab 45000 miles one owner... &...(drumroll) the dealer addressed everything in the PPI, motor mounts, cab top seals, coolant lines, frunk shocks and even ordered me a 2nd key. I've got nothing but good to say about Porsche Prestige in Montreal and the used sales manager Renny.
It already had new Pzeros and brakes...Renntech pedals.
Does anyone know if the stock head unit is pioneer? I intended to do the Fister exhaust mod immediately, but the bark when I started, and under acceleration is certainly satisfying enough... I don't know if this is an aftermarket exhaust, I haven't heard any of the drone at highway speed that I've read about. My only quibble on this silver car is the top color, it's a bit faded and I'm not sure if it's blue or black, I've read good things about renovo so I ordered a kit in black-I just don't like blue.
So far, I'm delighted, a dream come true, and one I've not spoken about much until it was actually here in the driveway. Thanks to all who have given me advice and encouragement along the way.

Lotta car for that coin. But I vote for perma-ban unless you get pics in soon. (j/k)

Default shucks... disqualified as I leave the gate

If Pix are that important I'll send them! But at risk of tar and feathers and burning at the stake...once you've seen one you've seen them all?... other than color and jewelry how shiny.

You got a GREAT deal IMO. Hopefully nothing is wrong with it. PPI, unless it was invasive may not reveal any scoring issues and such. The really low price has me suspicious but hope everything is good.

In addition to pictures (LOL) would you please report back at some time about your Renovo results?

Congrats!

The stock head unit is not Pioneer. It sounds like you've got an aftermarket unit.

Congrats! You got a great price for a mid-mileage C4S Cab especially given the dealer taking care of the items fro your PPI.
