Some things to consider also. As you search you'll find many vehicles with lower mileage and CPO. If an extended warranty is something you care about I would research this before making the final decision. You can find some that are CPO with similar options for that price. Typically the higher the mileage the more the extended warranty runs. Some don't care and simply want a clean inspection. I believe I read you're going to track the car. If so, look closely at the brakes. The PCCBs are awesome but I don't know their life span on the track. Some may chime in about that but something to consider nonetheless as replacing these brakes is very expensive.

I'd never buy a black car again. They're only pretty just after you wash them.

mine is slate and it never looks like any color than gray in any light. When next to silver or meteor you can see that it has a warmer look due to some brown in the color but it never looks other than gray. It is a great color.

Thanks everyone. Yup, Roslyn. They have been great to work with. My sales guy is Darren. They added Ipod, Tint, etc. in 2 days for me. I used to live around the corner many years ago. The price of the car is ok (obviously negotiated off the asking price shown on the PorscheUSA site) but not the lowest around. But ther car is perfect with great options so I decided to pay probably 3K more than other cars but it was worth it to me. Color, Diff lock, low mileage, clear bra, pccb, etc. and of course I didn't have to fly and drive/truck the car made it worth it. Also, I feel more comfortable that if anything happens the selling dealer is not too far away.

Can't wait to pick it up today!

I have to stop by thee today as well, maybe I'll see ya. They are one of the best, easiest to work with dealers around. The service dept has hooked me up several times post-warranty.

Sounds good TT. I should be there around 1. Hopefully we see each other. If not, please keep me in mind for some track events! Thanks.

Yes, I was upset when I was close to buying a TT and he told me it was clean and I was all set and the Carfax showed an accident. At the end of the day it's the right car and he has been great. Leaving now.

Look forward to the pics. Darren was pretty cool, but I can't say the same for their manager Mike.
