I have found a pre-owned 2010 C2S that I am very interested in and wanted to get some feedback on the price. It is not heavily optioned but it has most of the options I wanted. The couple of options that are missing can be easily, if not cheaply, added after purchase.

Since color choice and desired options are subjective, I am not looking for comments either way on the color, or on the options. Based on the car the way it is, do you think this is a fair price?

2010 C2S Coupe
Meteor Gray
Stone Gray Standard Leather
Just under 3,000 miles
CPO until 9/5/2016

870 - Universal Audio Interface
810 - Floor Mats in Interior Color
686 - XM Radio
680 - Bose High End Sound Package
672 - Navigation Module for PCM
P15 - Power Comfort Seats w/Driver Memory
603 - Dynamic Cornering Lights
342 - Heated Front Seats
267 - Self Dimming Mirrors
619 - Bluetooth Phone Interface

Negotiated price = $78,500.

I would appreciate any and all comments regarding the price. Thanks!

That list of options has a couple I didn't hold out for on our C2S, the mileage is lower, the market in Porsches has bounced back since we bought ours and you imply the CPO is included that price -- but you're getting it for about what we paid.

Clearly, I think it's a fair price. An excellent price in fact. I won't comment on the beautiful color choices because you said we should not.

Gary,

If I recall correctly, you bought your car new. WOW, you got a great deal on your car. Thanks for the comments, and for those you didn't make.

I think you understand that I didn't want this thread to turn into a "well, I'm not feeling the (chose one) ....color...options.... on the car" thread and move away from the price question.

No, we had a choice of a new base model for that price or the one we chose which was an S model with 11,000 miles. You're still getting a great deal. We paid that much for fewer options and no CPO and ours came with the optional extra eight thousand miles. Didn't matter to us a lot because we expect to put miles on our cars.

I wouldn't say no to that price. That price seems fair to me. Obviously the lower the better. :-)

gota911

Agree on that ^ . A strong point is the 5 year CPO.

Ah, see my post earlier titled "Selling my 2010 C2S" -- I just traded my car in for about 75ish. Check the last post in the thread for details...

Thanks Marc. I hope the BMW 7 works out for you. Hopefully, some day you can come back to a Porsche. Just curious, did you consider a Panamera along with the 7 Series?

Spectro28

Indeed I did -- looked at a whole bunch of cars before making up my mind. The top runners were the Cayenne S, the BMW 7, and the new BMW 6 Coupe, which won't be out for a few weeks yet. The BMW 5 series was also a contender, but there weren't many around to really consider. Comfortable seating was a very strong priority, to let the inflammation in my lower back settle.

The Panamera drove with grossly similar properties to the 911 -- a very aggressive car, with lots of precision, power, and passion. A more GT experience than the Carrera S, but a very focused and engaged driving experience that would have been more work (more fatiguing) than a "flagship" sedan experience over a long drive. It also didn't have the comfort of the cars I listed above.

The Cayenne S was really fun on the first drive, but my second test drive of it didn't impress all that much. It's a very comfortable car, and I imagine one can equip it for a very sophisticated ride. Would love to drive one with the double-pane glass and PASM, the air suspension, and full leather, for instance. But that gets to be a lot of $ for an SUV, and the one I drove, with a Sand Beige standard interior, just looked kinda crappy. Those Sand Beige interiors don't have the value-feel consistent with the brand, IMHO.

That 2010 Carrera S was the best driving car I've ever driven. THe engine had really broken in well, and was SO smooth up to redline, and the car was the most controllable I could imagine.

"I'll be back."

Cheers,

WOW THAT'S CHEAP!!! Thats a great deal right there. Pull the trigger while you can.

pissedpuppy

looks like a bargain (at minimum a very fair deal)

do it

I'm guessing the MSRP is right around $100K. No PDK, no SC plus. So $78K seems good - 22% off. I wouldnt say its an incredible otherwordly deal as others are saying but a good deal nontheless. Its very fair. CPO is attractive as are low miles. Its basically a brand new car. I got almost almost 20% off my car brand new, but things were a little worse in 2009 and there were better deals out there. This on the other hand is a year+ old.

It's a great price for that set of options. Enjoy!

Thanks to all of you that offered your opinions. Before starting the thread, I thought it was a good price, not great, but pretty good. BTW, the $78,500 price is the "drive out" price.

That said, I put a deposit down on the car earlier this evening.

If all goes well, it will be mine next Friday.
