PRICE REDUCED - Concerning price - Up until the crash - perfect, low mileage Turbos seemed to be running about 50% of MSRP, which would have priced this one in the low $70k range. That, of course, is no longer the gauge - everything seems to be dropping currently and I believe no one knows where the bottom will be. My philosophy has always been to get the car I REALLY WANT, not necessarily the most screaming deal. I believe that when everything is all done I want to be thrilled every time I see/get into the car and the "deal" becomes of less importance. Also, I believe because of particular options and outstanding condition there are cars that are above the market. I think this is one on those cars.

That being said, I am reducing my asking price to $62,500. I cannot say this price is firm because I do plan on selling the car and at this point the market itself does not really have a clear method of valuing anything.

I hope this helps - I sincerely believe the first potential buyer that stands in the presence of this car will take it.

Even with the current pricing we are seeing for these cars, I think you should indeed stick to your guns on that price. Yes, many will say it is too high, but for that car, there will be a buyer who will want it and will be glad to pay maybe a bit over what others of similar miles are selling for.
Bye the way, she is a beauty and I love the interior look of the car.
good luck

I assume that you mean market "crash" not vehicle crash....correct?

Sorry about the lack of clarity - the stock market crash - of course.

There is not a single scratch. In fact, I put the clear bra a little higher on the rear quarters to eliminate the possiblilty of road rash caused by material coming off the front wheels. No matter where you go, your front wheels are ahead of those rear quarters and with the all wheel drive, material will be thrown rearward. The paint is in great shape - no spiderwebbing. Swirl marks come and go depending on polishing and waxing.

Note: I would never "wipe down" a car dry or cover a car after being driven. I believe nothing should touch the paint after it has been driven at all unless it it is accompanied by copious amounts of water. I only use Griots polishes and waxes and have won many Porsche Concours with this car and others.

Great news...for both the seller and the buyer. Beautiful car, beautifully maintained. I'm pleased to finally see one sell relatively soon after posting. This current Porsche market is truly depressing.

Thanks again, Bruce, I am back in Austin and loving everything about this car. Tomorrow she gets washed to get the bugs off.

To anyone who does business with Bruce in the future, this man knows how to properly care for a car. It is just in perfect shape, I could not be happier.
