Help me understand. If I were to respray my hood due to rock chips, would it devalue the car at least a few thousand?
Absolutely not. If you document the respray and its done by a respected shop who does a good job, It will raise the value.
With that said, if its a few rock chips, I would have them filled as it avoids the nervous nelly buyer who thinks the sky is falling because of paint thickness.

I could live with the wrap for a while, is it a good deal to pursue? love the grey underneath.
Good deal? so so. Again, it's a Tiptronic.
$65K for a clean, no stories 2008 Turbo coupe with manual transmission at 40K miles would be a decent deal. Much easier to find a great deal on a Tiptronic if your ok with an auto.
FYI, I drove a Racing Green 997.2 C2S at P-car Livermore today. It is in decent shape, but has a LOT of rock chips on the front bumper, at least 30 to the clear coat. Interior seems fine. Boring build: Beige, PDK, SC, not much else to speak of, they are asking $57,900.
I did like the color, racing green is sharp in person. This color is hard to find and for a PDK fan, may be worth pursuing. Car was typical PDK+: aggressive downshifting and plenty of kick in the pants. I prefer a manual, and the sales guy was implying I was an idiot by stating that preference. Kind of like someone calling you an idiot for stating your favorite color is blue, not red.

FYI - That car was on Shift SF for about $47K for the LONGEST TIME.
Sounds interesting an off color is suitable for me I like different looking cars they are attention getters either good vibes or bad vibes the pastel colors are coming back in style. but as for the 997.2 C2S was it a convertible? So there must be story there some where.

Well then, Shift obviously should stand for another 4-letter word! The car hadn't been detailed, needed a full paint correction. $47k is reasonable, I wouldn't pay $57k without it being pristine.
I have looked at that car on line enough to know they are using some of the same photos as Shift.
Lame, somebody should call out that dealer. I swung by as I was in the area, wanted to see how clean it was and post it up here for general info. They treated me as an annoyance.
