Default Considering C4S - opinions please

Hello all!
First time rennlist poster. Hopefully first time owner soon.
Have been looking at used C4S 2009+ for a while and found 2 cars that I like.

2009 Atlas Gray
Pros: Sports Chrono; Sport Exhaust; wheels; low milage; and I love Atlas Gray!

2010 Meteor Gray
Pros: Bose audio; rear wiper; it's a 2010.

Prices are practically the same, but I'm leaning toward the 2009.
I would appreciate your opinions and advise.

Thank you
Jay

Jay,

My two bits would be the 2009. I personally like those wheels better and I think the sports exhaust should be a blast. The sounds of these cars are a delight worth emphasizing.

Just bought my first 911. Happy to help with any search experience questions.

Good luck!

cvtbenhogan, yes sorry, C4S. I noticed that immediately after I posted. I guess I should review what I type before posting.
Apologies to everyone in advance!

They look like very similar cars but I also like the wheels on the 09 better... Chrono and exhaust put it over the top!

Good luck!

I like the Atlas grey car. Both cars have been for sale for quite awhile (4+ months) you should be able to negotiate a discount.

sport cronos, multi function wheel, sport exhaust and nicer wheels (wheels good looking enough that even if you dont change them it wont bug you)

09 would be my pick.

OT - is it just me but i thought atlas grey was a lighter color (more gunmetal)... this 09 atlas grey looks almost black or dark blue (perhaps its hte photos or my laptop)

If you can find a 2009 C4S launch vehicle, you'll get sport buckets, full leather and a lot more options. I haven't looked lately but their was a time when they were readily available. Issue was that the seats don't fit all but if your a$$ is a match, you are golden

I like them both, and have owned a 2010 C4S in Meteor Grey. But, I prefer the '09 because Atlas Grey is a fabulous color Also, the '09 options are more to my liking, sport exhaust in particular. I agree though with some posters that you could find one with full leather. If that's not so important, The Atlas Grey looks great, and the car is very low miles for an '09.

imo full leather makes a huge diff (not to the drive of course) in the overall feeling of the interior luxury fit/finish.

I go with the 09 just because I would NEVER buy a car from a Used Car Lot, I know to many that are crooked as hell, much worse than New Car Dealerships.

I would either buy Private Party (Rennlist/6-Speed/Maybe Autotrader) or CPO, but that is just me.

I'd go for the 09 as well. Atlas gray is an awesome color. That, the S rims, and the sports exhaust gives it the clear win.
