Ha...you are looking at the same cars I am...how funny. I am in the market for the same type of car. How different is the GT Silver from Arctic silver? Not a big fan of silver but if the GT silver is nice I might open my eyes to them. This car looks good, maybe I should low ball them so you can come in slightly higher and get a smoking deal......then you can do the same for me !!! Do you have a car to trade? I need to sell mine or take a huge hit on trade which makes me have to wait a while for mine......
Good luck!!

 

Joe, I popped over to Sunset today and inquired about the 08 CPO C2S and yes it's gone - being picked up today in fact! It was listed at 65K - surprised that an 08 could be found CPO for that. Was that car on their lot for a while? The salesman there tried to make it seem like it was snatched up in the blink of an eye. Looked at the GT3 - beautiful car, just way out of my price range and no back seats... (for the kiddies)

 

Yanno why ? There were only a handful of 997 models listed on auto trader for years 07 -08 . Two of them were gt3 or gt3 RS models and the rest were at independent lots . In short --that black 997S was the only one within a 100 mile radius.

 

Scoper - that 08 C2S was bought by a forum member, and another forum member checked it out for him. Word was that the car was perfect, and yes, it WAS snapped up almost immediately! Great find - unknown why they listed it at such a great price.

 

Ah that sinking feeling you get when you realize that a good deal just flashed by your eyes...

Oh well, back to the hunt!

 

Yup, as ryr595 says, it was bought by a fellow 6speeder and I was the other 6speeder who went and checked it out for him:

Car did sell quickly. I think they only had it for less than three weeks (which is pretty quick). They originally sold the car new and took it in on trade. Car was originally a build to order. DME scan was great. HRM got a great deal.

That white GT3 is stunning. Listed price is pretty high and they've been sitting on that car for over six months.

 

got the car on sat !

haven't been able to stop driving it long enought to take pics !

will try best to take some pics ASAP.

and to those who said that the other carrera wasn't meant for me.. u were right !

this carrera GT silver with Cocoa leather (i call it chocolate) is absolutley beautiful !!

thank u everyone !!!

 

I agree carlitos !!! Gt silver/cocoa is awesome !! Congrats .

 

Congrats and enjoy your new ride!

 

CrazyCarlitos -

Awesome, nice to know you found one! Where did you get your car? I saw a GT silver/Cocoa leather listed on cars.com somewhere last night - bay area pvt seller 06 911 S

Oh silly me, I saw the link up above...

May I ask how much you ended up paying and was the dealership really open to negotiation or were they more like a brick wall?

 

its after-the-fact, since i already have my 911..

but here is the DME (abridged) and the Carfax report:

Any detail you could provide about negotiating the deal and how much you ended up at?

 

Congratulations on finding a pcar that you like, enjoy!

 

i m afraid there was not a whole lot of negotiating going on...

i was dealing with the dealership's GM.. he offered it at $64,500.. and i said 'ok' it seems like the used car market is stronger than the used, at least here in southern cal.. lot of clean Pcars with low miles are holding their value..

CPOs with popular colors (such as the carreraGT silver ) and options are especially difficult to bargain, IMO

My car is CPOed and has brand new Pirelli's all-around.. and its super clean ! it already had the clear-bra (in great shape) and the previous owner had it garaged most of the time (the paint is still like brand new everywhere)

the interior is also immaculate !

everyone who has seen it thinks its a brand new car off the lot..

 

Congratulations CC. Beautiful combo. I am very happy for you. Glad you got the car you wanted..I told you so.
