Hi All,

I am very new to the community, and just at the point in my life where I can contemplate actually buying a Porsche and not just keep dreaming about one. since I have always considered buying one a distant dream until now, I have very little experience and insight into buying, negotiating, and pricing one - especially when it comes to a used one.

I started looking very recently, and found a potential candidate. The details are below. I was hoping to get some feedback from folks who are much more knowledgeable than me in this matter. Here are the details:

2014 Cayman S

• Private seller in North Carolina
• White with Luxor Beige interior
• 15,000 miles
• Warranty will be up before the end of this year.
• Bi-Xenon headlights with PDL, Bose Surrund Sound,
• 14-way power seats and Premium Package
• Original MSRP with the options and destination charge was $69,000.

The owner is asking $51,000 for it. I have recently become a member of the Hurricane region PCA. One of the members there who has been in the community for a long time suggested that I can probably negotiate the price down by several thousand. I am already a risk-averse person, and in completely new territory, so I am quite concerned about the very little warranty left on the car. (I am also not too keen on the Luxor Beige interior, but I am trying to convince myself I can learn to live with it).

My questions are:

1. How much can I expect to negotiate? What should I offer, and how much should my limit be?
2. What do you think about it in general? Any opinion or feedback is appreciated.

Thank you.
