Default Just bought my first Porsche
Found this great 2008 Carrera S Cab in Chicagoland. Negotiated to $52,000. Only 4235 miles as it was held in a 7 year divorce case. Fully loaded with a $113,800 build sheet sticker. My first Porsche and I think I landed a great one. Had it for the last 2 weeks and I can't stop driving it.

Very nice!! I would consider an oil change soon as you may still have the original factory fill in there. Brake fluid too.

Congrats. She's a beauty. Now, get off the internet & put some miles on that poor car, and put a smile in your face!

I bought the car from the ex-wife. As luck would have it her new boyfriend owns a dealership. He replaced the battery, tire pressure sensors, all new rubber and oil change. Not sure of the brake fluid but it's clean as new.

Believe me I have. Drove it back from Chicago to NJ, 835 miles. With a couple weeks under my belt she went from 4235 to 5970 as of this morning. Will be under cover from Oct. 15 or so till maybe March 15 all depending on the weather. With my office about a mile away I expect maybe 6k miles a year after I get it out of my system.

Excellent! The anecdotal evidence is, the more you drive them, the better they behave. Not sure if that's true, but the more I drive mine, the more I love it. Congrats, again...T

Awesome Price!!!! I've never been much on Cabs but this one is NICE. Welcome to the Porsche Family they DO become addicting when you're behind the wheel & if you don't watch yourself, you'll be going out to the garage more than usual just to take a peek
