Default She's mine now officially!

After some extensive conversations with my accountant I purchased my 2010 C4S off the lease a little early.



I have only 21,000 miles on her and she runs perfectly and I truly love this car. Whether it's the color or the 997 or the gorgeous Natural Brown Leather or a combination of all of these things....I just can't give her back!

Did a few things....not much really...the SSK, HREs and Tubi exhaust so that figures into the equation as well. I just have to get into the car or even the prospect of some kind of driving and my day brightens. When I actually get behind the wheel....well that's too good to describe; but you guys all know the feeling!

We have a home in Florida and I spend as much of the winter there as I can and I can honestly say that one of the things I miss the most is turning that key and hearing that engine come to life.

Good way to start the New Year for me. My nephew's glad as well as that means he'll get the car many, many years from now!

All the best,

Tom

Feels better knowing you own it now, doesn't it?
Congratulations!

Were you able to negotiate any discount or did PFS require full payment? With the strength of the used car market, I suspect the latter. Beautiful car, dave
