Well, thus concludes an adventurous day, with a dream come true.

Just returned from the dealer, proud papa of a 2017 Graphite Blue Carrera S.

FWIW, this is the kind of day you want to negotiate a sports car. It snowed 5"-6" followed by freezing rain.



All in all, super happy with the deal and the experience. Great deal on my trade; 7% off MSRP on the C2S; full warranty plus CPO warranty, so it's fully Porsche-warranty-covered until 2022 or 100K miles. Plus, first service included. Xpel paint protection already on car (all the way up the hood). Plus Porsche Tequipment indoor car cover & battery maintainer. Plus, they're holding the car in indoor dealer storage until the snow's gone. (Although I can get it whenever I want.)

Sales Associate was good guy and a gentleman. Wifely is giddy and looking forward to driving it, and not over it.

BTW, still the same wife.

And here she is (no, not my wife...my new girlfriend).
















Weirdly, I'm excited about waiting to actually drive her. Thanks for all of the helpful insight, ideas and information here on Rennlist.

@MGF

I can see why you bought this car today. Great Deal IMO. Wonderful Color Combo.

I felt like I was sitting at the dealership with you making this purchase. Living Vicariously!

Looking forward to your into thread when you pick it up.

Congratulations and enjoy in good health.

Thanks for all the kind words. Will share more pics when she's in the driveway.

Far away from my wife's SUV.
