Patient is key, I got my 2009 997.2 C from a Mercedes Benz dealership in SFL, it was a trade. Clean Car Fax, 40K Miles, with all options including 19" wheels with new Pilots N2s, and new brakes for $47,300. The deals are out there, check daily for new inventory and price reductions on old inventory. Good Luck with your search.

 

wow this sounds like a tremendous deal

 

There is a huge delta on S vs non S car. 47.3k is a good price for a 40k mile base but its not what you are looking for. You could add a base car +pdk+chrono+PASM to you shopping list but those are VERY hard to find.

 

exactly and totally agreed!

 

oh i'm sorry, i though that deal for $47,300 was for an S car. yes there definitely is a huge difference between S and non-S cars, i am definitely aware of that. And i've thought about it multiple times but i really don't think i'd be happy with a non-S.

 

Yes, my car is a base 997.2 model, the difference in price should be between 10 to 15k depending on other options.

Here are the huge differences and MSRPs for the 2009 911
997 911 Carrera $77,800 345 PS (254 kW; 340 hp) @ 6500 rpm, 3.6 L wet-sump 4.7 s 180 mph (290 km/h)
997 911 Carrera S $90,500 385 PS (283 kW; 380 hp) @ 6500 rpm, 3.8 L wet-sump 4.5 s 188 mph (303 km/h)

 

I think the 2009 C2S is 385 HP. Also, the 0-60 is a little faster with PDK sport plus.

 

I think I remember that car. Loved it as silver was my first choice. Too bad I just wasn't ready at the time!

 

My favorite carporn website is OFFLEASEONLY.com
They seem reasonably priced. The OEM car lots, often over price, what they think are premium Auto's.
I have seen lots of fantastic deal for Benz's, Jag's and BMW's at my local Chevy dealer. They are often $10,000 less than the branded lot.
I see one Carrera in your price range on OFFLEASE

No potholes, steep hills or rocks on the road in florida. Smaller chance of stone chips ... just sand.
