Looks like the "Open Campaign" is making sure any recalls or issues based on the CPO are complete.

I have a 2010 Black 4S that's not equipped as nicely as that car, with 2400 miles. I would take 77 for it tomorrow, I'm afraid. (no rock chips on my car, though)

It looks to me like that's a fair deal without the add-ons like clear bra, etc.

Not driven hard at all - 111 ignitons in range 1 is less than 0.5 seconds. That's why there's a rev limiter to keep from getting into ranges 3 and higher. This is a great car.

Thats what I thought, looks like it was broken in with-out being beat on at all, this is the cleanest DME report I have seen, obviously 3000 miles helps, but nothing in 3 and barely anything in 1 and 2 is nice to see.

Funny the dealer did not even know what the DME report was. They do not sell a ton of P-Cars, mostly Audi's.

Sweet looking car, but then I'm biased because I have the same color combination with the black wheels. This is a really nicely equipped car. Given the low mileage and CPO warranty you're as close to a new car as you can get without paying the new car price. In the end, ~$2k won't matter as much as knowing it's yours and not someone else's. Pick a price you both can agree on and then get the dealer to add in as much of the small stuff you'd like, but wouldn't kill the deal for.

Looks like a terrific find. Good luck with the sale. Very nicely optioned for the price.

Thank you, I agree, my first Mod will be Clear Side Markers.

Like I said earlier I would not have ordered the Black wheels, but I now like them a lot.

That is a nice car, and what the others have said regarding negotiating a price is spot on. If it's what you want, don't let it pass you by for a grand or two.

I noticed on their website that they have a clean 997.1 Turbo for your desired price range. No interest in that? Coming from a GT500, it might be more suitable, although since your keeping the Shelby perhaps you won't mind about giving up some thrust.

Either way, good luck and that is a great Christmas present to your self!

A beautiful car and the pricing seems right. One suggestion. Ask the dealer to have the clear bra cover the entire hood and front fenders. The half clear bra approach with the line midway on the hood and fenders is something I would not want.

Nice car and only 3k miles for a 2010. Hope it works out for you and happy holidays.

Funny you mention that, I did not even test drive it, I was afraid I would want it. I really want the CPO and the fact it is going to share Daily Driver duties pushed me to the "S" over the TT.
