Help with 09 C2S
Greetings guys! Been lurking/posting as a guest, finally signed up. Next step, get my P-car.
I know there is a broad network on this board, so hoping someone in the WA area has dealt with Porsche of Tacoma. More specifically, I am also trying to determine what a starting point for negotiations would be.
Car is pretty well optioned (minus PSE, but gundo hack). Can anyone comment on this car regarding the pricing? I have seen some low model 09's for about 5k more, but lack some of the options on this vehicle. Plus CPO through 1/16 or 100k...

The price is a little high considering the mileage but it's nicely optioned. Also, when was it punched? There's a recent thread in this forum that asks what people paid and would give you some good info. GL, Dave

Car looks great. This car with PASM, Sport Chrono, 14 way electric seats etc sold for 110ish, so sixties is not a bad price. You can find other S for lower price but it wont be with the PASM and Sport Chrono.
Perfect combination if you ask me, go for it.

stltim1979...if you are looking for another point of reference, I bought a 2009 C2S in September from a a very large dealership in Atlanta. When I purchased it, it had right under 19K miles on the odometer. It has all of the options that your car shows with the exception of the sport chrono package. The dealer was asking $74K and I got them down to right at $70.5K. I agree with some of the other posts, it looks like a nice car and a couple thousand when you are talking about a $70K purchase isn't too bad. Also, for point of reference my car new stickered right at $98.5K. Another point of reference and something I find interesting is that there appears to be a shortage of CPO 2009 models in the dealerships right now unless you want a cab, which I did not. I routinely check out several Porsche dealerships within the Southeast US, and there are few if any 2009 C2S in their inventory right now. Good luck with the decision, once you pull the trigger it will be something that you truly enjoy!!!

I have been looking at other threads on aftermarket 'install' of SC, but only on PDKs. Can you do the same for this manual?

stltim1979...private owners may offer a lower price, however, I bought via a Porsche certified dealership so I could be sure to get a CPO car. Given that this is my first Porsche, and knowing the cost for replacement parts, I have some peace of mind knowing that with the exception of clutch, brakes, tires everything is covered. Also, the fact that my car was CPO in September ensured that it should be good to go for many miles and years to come.

My next recommendation, buy locally vs trying to find one far away for 2-4k less. Taking it for a drive, looking at it yourself, taking it to the shop for a good PPI is much more valuable than saving 2-4k.
In this case, the Sport Chrono and the local buy is worth $5k.
25000 miles on a Porsche is nothing, and it is better than 5k miles, all cars need to be driven for engine, coolant lubrication, belts needs to be stretched etc.
Note; for -09 engines Porsche eliminated 40% of engine parts (997.2 direct inj) over the 05-08, one of these parts were the famous IMS. RIP

Very fun process, but very stressful at times as well!
I appreciate all the help and guidance.

The first one you listed is a bit high. A similar one here with more options sold for $60k. It had 23k miles too.
I am also on the hunt but want a yellow 997.2 cab and those are super hard to find! Good luck!
