thanks for all the responses...fwiw, the guy ordered and paid sticker for the car + the porsche extended warranty, tire/wheel warranty, xm for life, lojack, etc...out the door close to 135K. He used the car as a daily driver...for me it will be lucky to see 6-7k miles per year at this point. I'll see and drive the car again on Saturday and make a decision...closer to $90k than $95k is where this will likely be. I've looked at what is sitting on dealer lots...there are several meteor gray/black C4S PDK out there w sport seats. The thing that brings me back to this one though is it is uniquely optioned...wont likely see another one like it out there.

Close to $90k for a well optioned and colored car, with all those extras sounds like a fantastic deal.

You can most likely get a very similar car for $10K+ less.
A similar car a year older (maybe with less miles) for a lot less than that.
If it's worth it to you, buy it and love it!

I am always of the opinion that if it is "reasonable" then go for it! I think too often people try to get the absolute best deal possible even though there are so many variables (including time) which make it almost impossible to ever know if you got the "best" deal.
Fact is it has a lot of very desirable options which you also want. It is a beautiful car which is in the ballpark for price. If other cars don't have the options you want... what's the question?

Awesome. Did you buy it? I dont think you need a DME scan with PDK. Not sure you really can over rev a PDK car (can you?).
I would highly recommend getting it - these things are fun...
