Good info here. I'm thinking and hoping a nice (real) TURBO S cabrio can be bought with under 20k for miles in the low to mid 60's. The 70k range seems a bit steep for a car almost 6 years old!

 

Most of them are in the 70's with under 20,000 miles. Mine had 16,000 and I was lucky to get it from a dealer certified for 62,000. it took me almost a year to find it. Remember there are only about 400 of these out there

 

Are the majority of the 2005 TURBOS NON S cars??

 

Picked mine up in Dec of 09 for 75k +/- with 6800 miles on the clock

Being a Midnight Blue example, I pulled the trigger without hesitation as I had been looking for a non black/silver/gray car.

 

kind of agree on the pricing but it makes you think for an extra 25k you could have an 08 TURBO 997 CAB

 

^^^ Yes, but then it would not be a Turbo S

Although I did not know the whole story when I first located the car, the more I looked into the Turbo S story, the more I became convinced I was happy with my purchase and the price.

 

There are some 2005 regular turbos. They were mostly end of year 2004s that were classifed by regualtion as 2005. Remember 2005 was the last year of the 996 turbo body style. So Porsche always does something for ending model year. Everybody knows the new turbo is coming so most people will wait for the new model so to create excitement they come out with a limited run while they tool up for the next model .

 

WOW..... If these turbo S cars are really bringing 70 large that's big money in this economy.

 

this should clear things up!

If you find the car you want, is clean & near the price range you are looking for, pull the trigger. Don't worry about it, cars are never a good investment. Finding the right car is the most important thing with the color combo & options you are looking for. A few thousand either way may cost you getting the car you want. Not as many deals out there now as there were 6 months ago with low mileage. Just my 2 cents.

 

I missed buying your Turbo S by 24hr, next time when Nick calls me with a good deal i will send the deposit first and then go to look the car. You got a great deal with your S!!! They have now a beat up 04 with 30k+ miles and they want $63k. When you are ready to upgrade to an 07+ model let me know.

 

Yeah it was a great deal I am friends with Paul Gavel the Sales manager and I had asked him a year a go to keep his eyes open for one and contact me as soon as he finds one. He called me right away when he got it and I had to make my decesion on the spot which I did. I knew how hard it is to find one so I did not hesitate. There are several nice ones on Auto Trader. There is one at Century Motors on Route 22 in Union which is nice but they want 72 for it they would not budge on the price but that was 5 months ago and it is still there.

 

Saw a 2005 Turbo S coupe. 14k miles at a dealer. Asking $69K.
