I didn't realize that the 2009 Meteor Gray C4S with PDK and sport buckets were "Launch Editions." A year ago, when I was shopping for a PDK C4S, 2 of the 3 cars I found using the Porsche search tool that met my requirements were Launch Editions, then. I actually bought the one that wasn't. 
So, what is the benefit of getting a launch edition? Is it a bargain because you get discounted/"free" upgrades/options?

Launch cars are just really well equipped.
GT2 Buckets
Sport PASM
PDK
Full Leather
Etc.
The seats alone in the car are worth $8k on the open market. These cars were sent to porsche dealers to sit in the showroom and show off what the new Carrera was all about. They represent what Porsche thought was the most desirable combination of options.

Though I would put this deal pretty close to the one I got.

That car had a sticker of $118k and includes the sport exhaust. And it's a CPO car. You could probably talk them down to 56k even. Had I not found my car that white C4S would be sitting in my driveway.

Nope, like yours way better! Those seats in the launch, 23K miles... you really lucked out...
heh, yah. That was a pretty crazy deal. The car turned out to be rediculously clean.

Not a fan of the rear wing
PDK
Black interior (my second least favorite after blue)
Yours is much better.

Launch editions are a good .75 of a second faster 0-60 than a normal C4S. Just kidding.

Congrats! Very nice car ..... I ended up buying another 997.1s (Modded) and been having fun further modifying it.
