Default Just wondering if I paid too much?

I paid $66k for this with 18,000 miles, I see prices all over the place, since I had a trade I negotiated from $69k down to $66k. Very clean car. All is done and I'm happy just curious. Thank you!

Assuming you meant 18,000 miles I think it a good price. Was it a CPO? That would make it a very good deal in my opinion.

You got an 18,000 mi car for under 50% MSRP. Looks like a good deal for a highly optioned low-mileage C4S!

You got a great deal for a very nice car. Move forward and don't look back. There will always be cheaper 911s but it won't be exactly what you got.

Ok thanks, phew!! I have been hesitant to ask! It was not a CPO, I bought it from Exotic Cars of Houston, found the history and all seemed good. I'm new to Porsche. They have a gorgeous GT3 there with only 500 miles, but $249k I cannot afford & Wifey would kill me!!

Thanks porscheralph, i fixed my post to read 18k miles.

By the way, we need pics of the interior with all that leather and deviated stitching!

I think you got a good deal. For reference, I just bought a 2010 C4S cab from a Porsche dealer with 9800 miles, full leather, adaptive sport seats, manual trans, carrera sport wheels in the color combo i wanted that stickered for $122K for $65.9 (dealer asking and i didn't counter). Main difference is mine is full CPO with around $4k in work (tires, battery, 40k mile service, etc.) that the dealer put into it to meet the CPO standard.

Congratulations- I'm jealous of your red interior. Pure sex!!

Some nice Porsche Exclusive options on this car. In particular, the leather rear center console and extensive deviated stitching are not commonly found. I think the price is right on.

OP, no, you did not overpay. You got a good - scratch that - great deal.

For reference, I bought my double-black '10 C4S cab, 6mt, w/16k miles a year ago for $70k. $123k MSRP, sport chrono, full leather, heated seats, nav, satellite, Bluetooth, Turbo wheels, adaptive lights, non-PSE and non-CPO.perfect PPI and no over-revs. In my mind, in retrospect, I probably overpaid by ~$2k - maybe - but I did that to myself. I saw a car I liked and just simply had no interest in continuing the "hunt" for another 6 months or something -- unlike others here, I don't find the search process "fun" at all.

My only regret is the non-cpo -- not because I've had any problems so far - I haven't- (jeez, probably shouldn't have said that), but just for peace of mind

You'll be jumping in at the 40K service (not sure what's different than a 20K service- maybe sparkplugs) since it is 40K/4yrs whichever occurs first.
