Question Price check on a '09 C4S Cabrio

I'm close to pulling the trigger on this car that checks 95% of my wants but would like thoughts on price. It seems reasonable but figured it can't hurt to ask.

Seller wants $60k

Specs:

2009 C4S Cab
CPO warranty for another year
Guards Red / Beige
MSRP $115
Manual
Sports Chrono
Bose

Thoughts?

Envy! The exact car I want. But will need to wait a few more years for the price to come down.

Duh. Forgot mileage. It's at 28,000.

I don't have a pic. It could use some love but nothing a good day cleaning won't fix. No PC needed or anything crazy. Very small paint chips - all small.

Price sounds fine. I'm sure others will chime in that the price is high and they got theirs lower, but if the options are right and you like the car, then go for it.

I will second McJimmy.The price is about right and it's the car you want. You may never find the perfect car at the lowest price possible. If you don't buy this one how long will it take to find one that's equal or better?
I say all of this because I bought mine quickly and it's a great car. I now know I could have spent months/years to find a car with almost all the options I think I might want. Mine was well-optioned, a fair price, and a car in excellent condition with a great color combination.

If it's the car you want then do it. I have an '09 C4S cabrio and when I was looking for them they were always at a decent premium over the C4S coupe or CS cabrio's.

Thanks Guys. I wanted to get some outside opinions to make sure I wasn't getting too swept up in the "new" car euphoria.

$60K is probably $2-3K high, but what are the chances I'll find another 977.2 spec'd the way I want in my own backyard? Not likely.

Haven't seen the car and not living your dreams, but when a car is selling for $60k and there is not established set price, there's no such thing as 2-3K too high. 5k high, 8k high, yes, but prices are all over the place that 2-3k at 60 grand shouldn't be a deal breaker unless you don't have it of course. Don't let such a small amount keep you from getting what you want. In the end it;ll be cheaper than all the leg work and PPI's you're gonna do.

That was my point. We're saying the same thing. PPI & DME is scheduled for Saturday. Wish we luck!

Definitely good luck. Nothing like putting that all behind you and enjoying the car.

As reported, I recently purchase a very highly optioned 09 C2S Coupe with MT and 9000 miles for about 62K. Did I overpay? Perhaps, but as many have said "just enjoy it".
If you like it, just buy it and enjoy.

I just went through the process.
I'm in agreement with most above. The price is there.
It's time to enjoy a great car.
Good luck!!
