If you like the power and look of the one you are looking at I would pursue it and not look back.

Hope that helps in some way. Good luck!
5 options I like:

1) PSE
2) Alacantara headliner
3) Adaptive Sport Seats
4) PCCB
5) Full Leather

@Quadcammer -- I take it you know which car I'm looking at. Are you familiar with the vehicle or dealer?

yes, i know of the car. Dealer is pretty clueless. They had it listed as meteor gray until I had them correct it.

Car seems nice, front bumper has some wear.

I was very interested in this but ultimately decided to wait for a 7.2 or 7 turbo.

good luck.

I have a heavily optioned 2009 C2S Cab, but could live without most of the options.

Try to find an "S' with a 6MT and sports seats in a color that you like, and you'll be happy.

There are lots of cars out there, and this is a good time of year to buy. Don't jump at the first car you look at.

Good Luck!

PCCBs are awesome, providing you have them properly inspected before buying the car and that they don't have any chips, nicks, or cracks and if you don't plan to track the car. They last forever on street driven cars, even spirited street driven cars, don't rust when you wash your car, make absolutely no dust to mess up your wheels, have very good initial bite and tremendous stopping power, even when hot and the 6 piston front caliper is a very nice upgrade even over the Big Red 4-piston version.

I wouldn't make PCCBs a deal-breaker, but with the above criteria met, certainly are quite a bit better than the steel Big Red brakes.

PCCB'S are the very sought after, X51 package is a pink unicorn.
