I think PASM does lower the ride height a bit and is standard on the S.

Nice one here in the forums:

I think this one says it all.

I needed back seats so the 911 was my only choice, but even if I was an empty-nester, if I could only have one P-car, or if I was buying my first of many, that only/first Porsche would be a 911.

Great to know!! See that's the thing, although I'm ultimately going to buy a Cayman S, the quirky looks (BEST way to describe that hah) kind of have me scratching my head.

I've always loved the 911 experience. I think I'll be right at home having come from a 996TT most recent. I'm certainly sold on the 911, just debating between the S and non-S

Thanks for the link! It sure as heck fits the bill (aside from the wheels which I'd swap out for lobster claws or something, but like the other car with the Aerokit a previous user posted, I have to have Carrara White or Speed Yellow (although I wish they had PTS Signal Yellow for the 997.1's)

You're 100% correct. I had a base C2 and a C2s back to back at my friend's dealer (unfortunately their prices are astronomical for the cars), and noticed a very minimal drop on the S than the base.

This will be my 3rd 911. I have a 944 Turbo S Silver Rose which I love to death...probably the one car I'll never let go of. But in modern standards I'm certainly sold on the 911. Just a matter of grabbing a base vs an S model now.

Oooh, I wish you hadn't said that. I'd love to have a 944 Turbo. It's one of those aspirational cars I want to have from back in my youth...and I like that color a lot.

Got any pics?

Curious - applies to both S models, and non-S models.

Is right now not a good time to buy from a dealer?

I know (in theory at least), the best time to buy would be mid-winter, especially January into mid February.

Why are all of these higher mile cars priced as high as they are? $36k for a high 92k mile C2S? I could see the color being a rarity but come on...and $38,400 for an 81k mile C2S with factory Aerobat?

When do you folks feel is the best time to buy from a dealer?

It's a plain Jane car, but I love it. Doesn't turn heads or anything...but it moves. It's special in so many ways

JO911

It seems like dealers put these cars up for 5 to 7k over what I think is a good deal. In the winter I think those premiums fall to maybe 2k to 5k depending on the dealer, just in my limited experience. I think these prices/colors/options are why it can take a year for some guys to find the right car. Aero kit may make it a bit more challenging too.

AfroThunder

Agree on ALL counts.

JO911

The car you found at Park Place looks nice. I noticed it has the lightweight flywheel though and I think Raby has seen some problems with those...

But who knows - it's far too easy to get sucked down the M96/M97 rabbit hole and forget what awesome cars these are.

AfroThunder

Good find!

Every time I walk out to any of my cars there's a high likelihood if falling down the rabbit hole

Sweet 944. Love the interior! Thanks for the pics.

AfroThunder

Thanks! Anytime
