Hi,

I pulled the trigger and am the newest member in the 2009 C4S launch car club. 30k miles. Picked it up last Sunday in LA and enjoyed every mile on the way to the Bay Area (in the rain)
30k miles, paid $65k

My other car is a 2002 Boxster S, which now feels like a Prius, compared to the C4S. But as the saying goes: "if you live in California one of your cars should always be a convertible"

Planned mods:

Gundo hack
Sharkwerks X-pipes
rear spacers (I'll start with the 5 mm I still have from my Boxster)
paddle shifter wheel

anything else?

Super nice car. I came very close to picking up this exact same launch model. I really liked it and thought I would get used to the seats etc... Somebody else snapped it up. Congrats and welcome. This is a great forum.

I had GT3 knock-off seats in my Boxster and these seats a clearly an upgrade.
I think the seats are the reason why these cars sell slow, most people don't like them, I love them (can't wait for track season to start)

Hatzenbach, congrats. Beautiful car. There's at least two of these for sale in California right now. Did you look at those? One's in SoCal and the other is in Santa Cruz area.

Your car is the one from Sports Trend Auto in Sherman Oaks right? Nice car. I was looking at that on cars.com. I'm surprised they didn't come down a bit more on price. It's a very clean car though.

I don't know why I had Santa Cruz on my mind. It's Monterey Park, Topline Automotive. It's got fewer miles but they want a bit more @ $69k:
