I have one more questions for the experts around here. The 08 C4S i am looking at does not have the Sport Chrono Package. I just saw that i feel like i will be missing something..Can you give me more info on this option please?
How much does the option cost so maybe i can bargain with them for lack of it?
Thank you and appreciate your timely help!!!!

(3 different Porsche dealers initially offered this opinion when I was car shopping. As I dug deeper into Sport Chrono and have now read the instruction manual - I have to agree. Might be nice to have but I sure wouldn't pay extra for it.)

I agree with MB230s. Once I decided on manual, I found the Chrono package not to be too much of value. If a used car has it ok, if it does not no prob. Would I pay for it on a new car. Previously I thought yes. Now that my car does not have it, I am not sure I would.
To sum up, manual not a problem with or without. PDK, it would be nice to have.
Cleanliness and history is more important than Chrono package in my opinion

Which transmission? In a manual 6 speed car the Chrono package is essentially a very expensive stop watch and some some additional features of little value. In the Tip/PDK cars it makes a bigger difference b/c it changes the shifting.

coupe and convertible are quite different, so it really depends on what you prefer.
i don't think sport chrono is a big issue - I don't have it in my car and I still love driving it. Besides, you don't have that big clock sticking up from the middle of your dash : )

Maintenance between the two is negligible. 2WD is all you need unless you drive in snow, and is lighter. If you like 4WD and or WB, get the C4S. The perfmance difference is debatable. I like the WB, but I could care less for 4WD in California. I like the tail wagging of the C2S. Also, CPO is built into the price up front and cars depreciate. Buy it and drive it like you stole it. A redline a day, keeps the Dr. Away.
