Wow, 15 months ago that was a Steal, I am looking to get one with similar miles now for that. I guess with the 991's it helped, but either way you got a great deal.

Thanks! I thought so at the time of purchase and still believe so today.

As a reference point for non-US market (Swiss market):

bought a heavily optioned 2009 997.2 C4S pdk. Here is a list of options in the car - as per sales sheet:

Car had 1 owner who put 28,000 km on it over 3.5 years. He paid a whopping CHF 205k when bought new (about USD 175k back then).
The car came with mildly used winter tyres, new summer tyres, 2 years Porsche factory guarantee, car was consigned having undergone full service ("the big one", where they change spark plugs, brake fluid etc.) On consignment the car looked like new.
Deal done at CHF 89.9k (around USD 96k with today's fx rate), which means a CHF depreciation of about 56% from original sales price.

I'm in the same boat, really want an S. As usual I'm over thinking the entire process, enjoying the "hunt". Now seeing some 2009 30k mile regular C2 cars for $55,000 or a little less...has me THINKING it may be worth the upgrade in both function and resale in the shorter term. My problem is if this "hobby" sticks for a while, I will be on the upgrade train, either in parts/mods or in cars, so I have to make a reasonable buy.

A black 2009 coupe S with 23k miles recently sold for $59k here. It had upgraded wheels, chrono, and other goodies. It originally was $69k on the lot but after 4 weeks they dropped the price twice.

I was set on a cab but decided at that price I would look at it. Sold the day I finally went to the dealer.

I traded in my 2005 C2 in May for a CPO 2009 C2 for $65K. Car was unusual color, Aqua Blue, and had sat on their lot for three months. 12,000 miles and literally like a brand new car. Original price was $92K. Bought at Performance Porsche in North Carolina.
