Guys DCP took care of it for me Photographed what I needed to see.
I am just afraid prices are going to drop more and I m going to spend
10-15k more than I need to.

I think this is the Midnight/Natural Brown car that Tim was linking...when I click on his link it takes me to a 997S search...
http://pioneer.porschedealer.com/200...63686/info.php
They just lowered the price from 92 to 89.

Edit: Crap, all of my links go to the same Cobalt 997S. I can't understand that. I have never had that happen before. Damn.

2nd Edit: I figured out what happened to my original links. Doing a "general search" from the main Porsche site will give you the available cars, but if you copy those links and then change to another search criteria, the original links get screwed up. You have to go the the individual dealer site to get the link to "stick."

6 speed. so time is on my side except on my AMG trade.

just a general word of advice-the price will always be lower on anything that you buy-i have been watching your thread and it seems that every price that you see is a bit too high. prices now are lower than anyone ever thought they would be 6 months ago. if you really want to get the car, and you can afford it, then there are great deals out there now. life is too short to constantly be looking for a better deal. too many people wait and wait, only to have something unfortunate happen. enjoy life while you can-it is good advice.

Doc, lots of good advice. Keep following to see if there are any more mistakes seriously.
But really I was ready to pull the trigger twice today. The problem is the dealers are all over the map on
my car. I was within $1000 each time. . And when the price was X8,999 he rounded UP on the price making it X0,000 like a thousand didnt mean anything to me AFTER wanting me to pay for the CPO.
Believe me after paying 130 for my 997 GT3 and having a 996 GT3 that stickered for 126K I dont mind paying for a car I want.
Really its come down to my trade. And what sucks is my own dealer my MB Porsche dealer offered me the LOWEST amount all day on my 2500 mile 5 month old C63! THEN I find out after he made me pay top dollar for that car that it had A BUNCH of trunk money with it. I know what trunk money is. My BMW dealer usually shares that with me on purchases.
So yes I am choosing to look for a really good deal this time. In the past when the economy was better I moved much faster. But I am going to wait this time and be patient which is VERY hard for me.

Yea Doc this has been squirrely. I keep hearing Used cars have more mark up yet the prices I have seen today, have not moved much off prices. But they want to move WAY off the price on my AMG. And here is another little issue. On the west coast some dealers which will remain nameless but rhyme with Shauto Gallery have no problem asking over 100K for cars with over 15k miles. Yet the east coast puts a premium on cars that are under 10kmiles and those cars are $100K. So if the east coast dealer had cars with 17 or 18K they would be under 90k by their reasoning. But they have only low mile cars. And the West coast dealers have ridiculous prices. Its all really weird right now.

I am sorry my links got screwed up, which only proves that no good deed goes unpunished!

Doc you got that right. Its the last time I go into the AMG bucket unless I get a Black series.
The thing that has me stopping from "lifes too short, get what you want" is this descrepancy from the
east coast to the west coast. Its 10K and thats keeping cars from getting right into my wheelhouse.
I have never really seen a difference of that much money on the same thing.
I saw a 07 TT somewhere today with 20K++ miles for over a hundred. I saw a silver GT3 RS
the least desirable color for 179k TODAY. I know it would be easy to get into an RS for 120 right now.
I think its proper for this sinusoidal disturbance to settle out.

OG, how did you make out? Did you find one to your specs? I'm on the hunt myself but just can't seem to find a low mileage one with all the goodies I want.
