I already tried my best. I started at 59, 60, 61, 62 and even 62.5K... they won't budge! I think it's an ok deal. I've been searching all over the nation for 2 weeks now and by far, this car the has the most options. Most of the ones I've seen are in the 59K - 67K price range too depending on the year and mileage.
congrats.

Wait a month and you will find a cheaper car, especially if you do buy this one! But the specifications will be different. It is hard to shop for used and do one for one comparisons. So at a certain point you need to stop kicking the tires and decide if you're in the game or not.
What I can tell you is that, if you do move forward and the car is not a wreck (do your check outs), after a month with the car you will hate yourself for not buying it years ago. You will forget whatever couple hundred dollars you might have overspent. It won't matter.

5K here and there is negligible if that's the car you want. Like others have said, you might find a cheaper one but it won't be the same car. If you offered 62.5K, makes no sense not to buy at 63K. Money comes and goes, but all the time you lose not driving a carrera, you don't get it back

This is still not the perfect car for me. Of course there's no such thing unless I'm ordering it brand new with all the options I want (if I have that means). I will not change anything on this car though except for the color of the interior. I would rather have a black interior. Like everyone's advise, if you have the money, why let a few hundred or couple thousands get in the way of driving your dream car.
I'm thinking of flying with my wife and driving it from CO to CA. Wifey is more excited and eager than me 
Are you going to drive it back or have it delivered? Good luck with everything and welcome.

Warranty on 911
You didn't indicate what type of warranty is with the vehicle, A CPO warranty has to be issued by a Porsche dealer and is a factory warranty good anywhere in North America whereas a dealer warranty would only be good at the issuing dealer. This is a major difference. Make sure you know what you are getting. Good luck

Good job brother. Beatiful car. Im sure you like the car and that is all that matters. Lets just keep oir fingers crossed that when the car comes its even better than the pictures have led you to believe. Pretty sure it is. And when that happens, price really does not matter.

Braking Bad, you seem to be indicating that because it was bought from an Audi/Porsche dealer that the warranty is a CPO Warranty. Any dealer can issue a warranty which is only good at that dealership. A CPO warranty requires a very specific set of guidelines and a payment to Porsche in order to be certified. If this is not a CPO then when the vehicle is taken home at great distance from where it was purchased the warranty will not be able to be used at any other dealership. A simple call to the seller can quickly answer this question to avoid a major problem in the future.
