2008 911 S Cabriolet in Cobalt Blue and Sand Beige interior. Very nice car with only 25,000 miles and clean Carfax. Dealer asking $48,000.
Anyone else find what they wanted and then got cold feet? What made you buy it or pass on it?
This is would be my first Porsche.
Thanks. RJ

Most of us have been there. Ignore your cold feet and go with your heart. Get the car, never give another thought to whether you should or shouldn't have. Drive it, wash it, obsess over it, enjoy it.

I agree. I definitely wouldn't pay the dealer asking price, and since it is at a Mercedes dealer, I figure they wan to get rid of it as soon as they can.

I found the most perfect woman. Beautiful, intelligent, mute, and great in bed.
But I've got cold feet. Little bit nervous. Can't pull the trigger.
How does that sound?
Same kinda deal, lots of good, could be some bad once you actually commit, going to cost a good bit of money up front and could cost a lot more down the road. Ya never know.

Hands in your pockets, trepiditous, you will always remain on the sidelines. You pull the trigger now or you will lose the car; it will be gone, and you will never have the exact one you were looking for. Life does not have to be full of regret.

When I have doubts and it is a decision that won't hurt me financially I wait two weeks. I do other things I thoroughly enjoy and if I still am interested I reset, in this case another test drive and make a decision the next day.

Great car.
I bought (jan 2017) 2008 PTS, Full Leather, TIP, CAB from Porsche dealer. 8k mi one owner local car. Complete service, new tires, TPS etc.... Platinum 6yr/72mo warranty. I Paid top dollar 50k with warranty, but it was a unique car that I wanted.
When you find the car in the color and options you want pull the trigger. Keep in mind owning a P car is not a marriage for life. Drive it until your bored, sell it and buy another.
Fun times.
Buy it!
