In late October 2010 I bought my base 08 C2 Coupe with around 6k miles, Xenon's, power seats, heated seats, Bose and some other options for $58.7 plus tax ... it had 2 yrs left on the factory warranty. The condition was incredible, it even smelled new.

I thought it was a great deal

Noob here as well. Found an '06 C2 with 19",Bose,heated seats,xenon,self dimming mirrors with 35K miles. Dealer (non-Porsche) wants $44k..no OEM warranty left, but has service records, no accidents. What's a fair price? I was going to give him $40-41K, before adding tax (6%) + title/license fees.

help me out please

I think you're in the right range.

I am looking at a few 997's for purchase in the near future. What do you think about these?
05 C2S 25k miles, base package $44.5k
07 C2 18k miles, PASM, sport chrono 19" wheels $48.9k or $51k with CPO
06 C2S 31k miles, sport exhaust, short shift kit, carrera sport wheels, CPO to Aug 2012 $51.5k
I want to use this car as daily driver for about 16,000 m/yr. Occasional track days. Any thoughts? I don't really like all of the fluffy stuff. I have an iPhone which has nav on it anyways. Would be putting a kid seat in it.

I'm partial to the 06s. PSE is really nice to have. Changes the car significantly into a different ownership experience

Not enough to make that a deciding factor.

Edgy's comment was more about the PSE (sport exhaust) than the model year.
Given that you're looking to DD this a lot of miles, don't worry too much about getting a low mileage one.
Mine's at 52k miles and still tight as a drum.

Stopped by Rusnack Porsche in TO/WV today on the way back from a motorcycle ride...stealer told me he had people lined up waiting for 09's to come in off leases...not sure if I believe him but their inventory of CPOs sure was low. He also said that the 991 wont be out until 2013.
