Default What do you think of this car?

Hey guys,

long term reader but this is my first time posting.

I'm getting ready to buy my first porsche and I've been looking pretty closely at this car. I'm just wondering what more experienced people think of it?

First off, welcome to rennlist!!!
All that really matter is what you think, but seeing as you did ask:
No big deal but the front spoiler lip looks chewed up.....
Yellow gauge faces don't do much for me, but I guess they match the ceramic calipers.

Overall a nice looking car with some sweet options, good luck and enjoy!!

How can you go wrong with the power kit and PCCB?

That being said it makes me wonder why someone would order such a car and not keep it?

I think it was a mortgage brokers, I'm not sure, but in SoCal these guys have been getting killed.

On second thought, forget it, buy the black and orange one behind it.

It has X51 and PCCB's! What's not to like?

Oh, the yellow gauge faces are great by the way, a little unusual on a black car, I love looking at mine!

Great specification, black on black, PCCB and X51. Don't miss it!

Does the price seem reasonable? It seems like it's depreciated a ton but if negotiate in a CPO that would add a lot of value.

If you can get it for 95K, with CPO you will be doing well. I would have them replace the front lip too. Over all car is well appointed and looks great.

Even the gauge faces match the PCCB's - nice touch. Beautiful car.

Since they have a similarly equipped 2007 Cab with low miles (6500) and with X51 on sale for under $96k (but no PCCB), I would think you should be able to negotiate a price in the $95k range or possibly lower. The cab started in the 99k range too, and was recently lowered. I always check the trade-in values on KBB and figure that is what the dealer paid for it, so you know how much room they have to negotiate....especially in this soft market. Good luck. Looks like a great car.
