I don't think you paid too much, that's a fairly unique build an a great color / combo. Also, are you really going to care about $1-2K in the grand scheme of things, when you have a big **** eating grin on your face whenever you drive it hard (or easy). You did well.

Its really not the 1-2k, you have to consider the bath I took on the 2015 C7 Z51, 3LT pkg. that's what sucked, I'll never buy a brand new toy again, not worth the depreciation drop. They gave me $54k on a car with 3,000 miles on it. I am truly happy with my purchase, just curious. BTW, I wore that grin last night with the top down driving a bit hard. Difficult not to when folks pull up next to you with blaring V8's!

You did very well. Not MY favorite color for an interior, but it's a Cab, show that s$@& off!
You bought a lightly used car for about 1/2…
The 997/2 cars are very dependable, no surprises, enjoy what looks like a nice example.
Good Luck.
If you don't have the "wonderful" Porsche Sport Exhaust, consider Tubi.

Cream white, MT, natural brown leather interior, sport shifter, Bose, nav, sport chrono plus,
Sport seats, body colored (seat backs, console, dash trim, door pulls), Carrera S II wheels,
Rear wiper, blue tooth, universal interface, crests, heated seats, etc. MSRP was $109,000
Absolutely perfect: no flaws, no paint work, new Pilot Sports
Paid about 60K. Trade makes exact price hard to determine.
BTW, I think that you got a very special car at a fair price...enjoy

This car is what I have wanted for awhile, whyI bought the C7 Z51 is beyond me, lol. That's was buyers remorse!!
Gorgeous car BTW!

VanSant62 - the car is incredible...as others said don't look back.
I know I overpaid for mine, but I wanted a blue Targa with sand beige interior...very hard to find so I knew I had to just go for it. The car brings such joy to drive I don't let the dollars I overspent bother me. It is just too much fun to drive
