Default Did I get a good deal?

Hi,

I'm curious to get some more expert opinions on my fairly recent (October) purchase of a 2009 Boxster S, with 20,000 miles. Silver exterior / Black interior, excellent condition both in and out. Prior owner was an elderly gentleman, who had had a stroke. I purchased from his wife.

It includes the following:

342
Heated Front Seats
446
Wheel Caps with Colored Crest
541
Seat Ventilation
551
Porsche Windstop (Deflector)
573
Automatic Climate Control
619
Bluetooth Interface for Mobile Phone
680
Bose High End Sound Package
686
XM Radio
810
Floor Mats in Interior Color
870
Universal Audio Interface
AN
Black Standard Leather
P12
Self-Dim Mirrors & Rain Sensor
P15
Power Seat Package
P23
PCM 3.0 w/ Extended Navigation
P75
BiXenon Headlights w/Dyn Cornr
V9
Black Top
X1
Arctic Silver Metallic
XCM
Roll Bar Aluminum Look

Sticker was 71,180 according to VIN Decoderz. I received the manuals and both keys. It was serviced at the local porsche dealership (reported via CarFax), up to the last 4 years and 8,000 miles. (That is, I got no records with the car, but CarFax had annual services at the Porsche dealer up to 2012 and 12,000 miles). An Indy PPI found all in very good condition.

I paid 30k, and am happy. I'm just wondering whether it was well-bought.

Thanks for your thoughts.
Eric

I am looking at similar year Caymans and that is more in line with base prices than S...plus seat ventilation is a must for me in convertibles...makes it so much better IMO. Good job...now to find my Cayman!
