Nice car....was looking at that from Jordan Motors, but since it wasn't local I never got around to TX to see it. How was the overall condition in person versus what you saw in the advertised pics? Also, did they negotiate the price any further? Looking at a few 05's as well, so just trying to establish an idea of what folks are finding.

Thanks Love the color, BTW!

Congrats on your newly acquired purchase, I practically the same car, color and all.

Do you happen to have a larger picture showing the spoiler? If you're selling I might be interested.

Jeff, the car was pretty much as advertised. The only thing that needed attention was the tires. They were trash, hard as rocks. So I budgeted for the Michelin PSS. Got a great deal from Discount Tire, $1,078 installed with the road hazard warranty.

They dropped the price to $28k and I jumped on it. It was the day after Christmas and I got there when they opened. After the paperwork was done the sales guy showed me several emails from people setting up appointments, said if I had not bought it someone would have that day. They were great to deal with. Gave me the car for a 45 minute test drive by myself, put it on a lift, let me look at the car for a long time. No pressure.

They had the car inspected at Porsche San Antonio, they recommended the plugs be changed and they had it done. Gave me the report from the dealer.

I dealt with Brandon from Jordan. Stand up guy, very nice.

As far as the spoiler, it's growing on me....if I change my mind I will let RL friends know.

Thanks for the kind comments.

The site where Jordan Motor Cars is used to be Land Rover San Antonio from the late 90's to 2008-2009, when they built their new facility at 10 and De Zavala.

Congrats TexPorsche. The original spoiler looks much better, IMHO.
