Pursuing my first P-car. Wondering if anyone has some input. Thanks.

Looks nice, love the red. Get a PPI! Price feels high. I paid less than that for an 04 X50 Cab Tip, but with high miles, 18 months ago.

Should be able to negotiate.

Did I say I love the red?

 

PPI lined up with RAC Performance.

I'm unfortunately an out of state buyer, so I'm dealing with a local dealership to get me the car (also take in my trade).

 

While I have complete confidence in RUF (RAC), I would be wary of Ecarlink. Don't have anything specific other than my own limited exposure to them, but I was not impressed with either the owner or the cars that I drove. I could be wrong but take extra care. Price seems high to me.

 

I think it looks good. I don't think the price is high as stated above given the wing and the $5000 wheels on it. Looks like it is in great shape.

 

18 months ago was when the stock market and every other market was at it's all time low. Prices have definitely come up.

 

I looked with Ecarlink before, I too was not impressed with the owner.
just get a PPI, verify everything.

 

Your PPI should include the entire Porsche CPO checklist, PLUS a dump of the DME for codes and over-rev data...and maybe compression/leakdown if it looks like it was flogged at all.

Seems a tad high for a 2003... if pristine, no stories, full records... might command something more than market.

Be careful... sounds like you might get screwed by two dealer on this deal, eh?

that car looks awesome, good luck!

 

the price is high ..... i would let them know that the supple leather is less desirable than sports seats and cut the price accordingly. i would offer them between 45 to 49. nice car ........ and im really liking the red

 

I'm doing VERY WELL on my trade with my dealer, + the sales tax benefit.

I could try bargaining with my dealer, but not sure what my leverage is (not knowing how much they are paying+shipping to get it here).

Open to creative thinking though.

 

If you're interested...I'm selling a 03 turbo (seal gray not red) with 20k miles, gt640 evoms package, bilstein susp, 19" wheels, stage 3 clutch, full carbon fiber int, killer alpine stereo, nav, dvd, sat radio, techart type wing. Car fully gone over by vividracing in Houston less than 1000 miles ago. Alot more for your $. Contact me if interested. I'm going to a 997tt.

 

Can you email me the info to newnode@mac.com

I have someone who may be interested.

 

I don't think the price is high if you happen to want the GT2 decklid and those wheels and would get those items later on if you bought a Turbo without them.

I paid $49k for my '01 3 months ago. That's when many on the board think an '01 should be selling in the very low $40k range. But the car I picked up has the factory aerokit, full CF interior, 19 inch wheels, exhaust, flash, sound system, coilovers, etc. Things I would do if I were to buy a car without. However, if I were to get a bare bones '01 for $40k, it would easily cost a lot more than $9k to replicate the options/mods on my car. So to me, the car was a good deal.

 

PPI complete...

300 overrevs in stage 2 along with a rear main seal leaking.

i've started researching what those overrevs mean...any advice?
