Actually that is the reason why I bought a car with a fair number of miles. I'll be driving it and as such paying premium for a car with little to no miles didn't make sense.

When I was looking for my car, I saw a 40th but didn't know enough about the car to know what I was looking at. Many non-porsche dealers are the same way. They list the car at the same price that a standard carrera is going for not knowing what is under the hood or option list.

When I bought my car the dealer had one still new.....offered it to me for 20k off sticker....they were HORRIBLE sellers new, but that makes them bargains now because most people dont list them any differently, but you got alot of nice options plus the extra HP.....enjoy.

That is what my dealer told me. They said that the 40th anv. came too close to the C4 prices and they had to discount them quite a bit to move.

I was mostly after the X51 + LSD, but the full leather looks nice too

And I was looking for a preowned car so even with the discount the new 04 Ann. 996 was still more than 20k more than i wanted to spend and about 30k more than I did spend.

Even if someone said you paid too much, would it really matter? Get in the car and go out for a drive. You won't remember any of the negatives.

Unless you are buying a grocery-getter/commuter-mobile, buying a car involves a lot of subjective and emotional decisions.

Sweet car. Just enjoy it.

Great Deal, I agree someone didn't know the difference, this car should have gone for much more...
