Default Please help find my first Porsche, I know its out there looking for me.

I could use some help finding my first Porsche. Just sold my M3 and a few other items and have collected about $50k.

Looking for a 997 S Cab in Red or Silver. Would prefer a low mielage car under 20k miles or a CPO car under 30k miles. I figure if its not under warranty it better have very little use.

Checked with my local dealers but everything they have is suspiciously priced at $59,995 and they dont seem wiling to negotiate.

I live int he try-state area but are willing to travel up to 800 miles.

Thanks in advance!! Any advice is welcomed.

Just messing around and came across this car. 2006 C4S Cab. Triple black. 6 speed. 20,900 miles. Private Party sale. Warranty thru 2012. Liste for $55k. Probably get it for $50k. Seems like a really good price. Am I missing anything here?

Thanks JoeShark. My last car was black and I swore I would never do it again. Although its the best looking color (or lack of) its too much work.

I'm only considering red and silver.

The Link is incomplete by the way, but sounds like a good deal.

www.porsche.com and do a preowned search. You can check the inventory at every dealer, you set the distance from your zip code and www.autotrader.com Good Luck

Dan Jacobs is a great enthusiast and head tech for our CVR PCA chapter. He also has a sister business to his Hairy Dog Grrrage: http://www.weissachautohaus.com/

If he doesn't have it in house, he can probably get whatever you are looking for. Here's an example, 05 C2 Cab in Lapis with an asking of $46k: http://www.weissachautohaus.com/cars/090502/090502.html

Sorry, my bad.

Might be irrelevant as I heard there is already a deposit down on this car. It went fast.
