Default 09 C4S Launch car - about to sign

I'm about to sign papers on a brand new 09 C4S launch car. Is there anything I should be looking out for? I've read a few issues as far as the PDK, fuel pump, etc on the earlier cars. Granted the car is brand new and comes with the full warranty, it's still nice to know what to expect with it. Car has 9 miles on it, half of which were me. Sticker $112k, talked them down 12% to around $98k with free clear bra and a few other small extras.

if your talking about the C4S with the buckets/etc i would say 80-88 is about right, right now.. dealer i just bought my 09 from sold theirs for 80k and ive seen others asking between the 2 #'s above.. check ohio dealers..

kings automall,

is this not the same car? asking 88... which means offer 80.

Wow, yes, that looks like the same car. The sticker on it is $112k tho, I wonder why they have it listed online for so little?

They're all over the place for that price, and the ones without the buckets are left too. There are 5 left in the country without the buckets and 1 demo left without buckets around the country. The non bucket cars stickered for 110,120

Just called up kings auto mall and the porsche of village, both sold them already. Any others around? If I can save another $20k, that would be amazing.

Trader, I was looking for the bucket preferably.

just saw ur post, they had em the other day... ill try and think who else i know wth that car.. i was looking at that one originally which is why i knew prices.

trader 220 seems to know how many left, maybe he knows where? or just tell your dealer you saw for 87k @ such and such and 88k at porsche of the village and print out the online price/pic above and see what they do.. be like "i would really like to stay with you guys, but seriously this is massive difference.. and im pretty sure the guy will walk over to his GM and walk back with a smile on his face.." the buckets car were a hard sale because the in/out hassle.

Ruby Red C4Scab launch car sticker about 122k selling price 95.9k In the C4S coupes PDK Launch I counted about 2 dozen that are still left according to the PPN system plus a couple of demo ones and even 2 at the port. Let me know where you are located and I can tell you the closest dealer who has one. We sold all of our C4S coupe launch cars a long time ago.

But how long have you been enjoying it? The price Trader220 quoted for the C4S Cab Launch is below what we paid...but we've put on a lot of fun miles in great weather rather than waiting for the PERFECT deal.

life has its ups and downs.. i thought i did good on used 3 months ago but when i saw what was going on now before the 10's come in... i had to just jump in with both feet..


prices on brand new 09's right now are around the prices of used 07's 3 months ago.. but i hope for the sake of everyones cars on here the prices reboung in the next year or so.. i was looking at an issue of a car sales magazine dated april 08' and they were showing tons of 06 997's for 75-80k!! thats insane.. i wish was the case now. (2 year old cars selling for like 10% off)
