Would pass on this one. I don't think it has sport chrono. Or no wart on the dash. Pdk without it on a non s would be less fun IMO

why run? I do not see anything wrong in the car to "run" from it. Am I missing something here?

i would offer $65K. then installed 'sport mode' software to activate additional PDK programs - as i understand it can be done this way.

No sport,no pse,pdk,non s will be a very difficult resale. Riley almost had to give away his similar car.

Depends on what you want to do with the car. Adding the sports chrono software is worth it. Just don't expect an easy resale. They should know this as well which could help your bargaining. 65$ could help see if they are even interested.

It's overpriced. These folks are famous for trying to get the full offered side. I'd bet you can find an S with all the things you want (PASM/SPASM, etc.) for less (I got mine for less than that at Walter's in Riverside).

Agreed - overpriced. I bought an '09 Carrera S with fewer miles last year in Palm Springs for $69k.

^^^ ++ no sports chrono... overpriced. Wait until the 991 comes out and you'll see prices get soft.

Nice color and the two tone interior looks great in a black car.

Seems a little high priced.. You may want to get an S model with the sport chrono... However,the sports chrono can be added for around $1200.
and it doesn't need the S or sports chrono to be a fun car....

But it sure is a pretty car....
and your original question was what was a good price.... maybe start at 65K
