I'd offer them $3-5k lower and see where it goes... I agree I got a great price, dealer also did the 20k service and new tires

Or if your ready to pull the trigger and the car fax, Over-revs and ignition ranges looks good, you won't be disappointed..

Sub'd....

Has anyone seen this 09 Carrera S listed for $59.9 with less than 25k miles? Looks like Full leather, Navi, sport chrono, etc....Clean car fax as well. Seems like a pretty good deal considering it's selling here in the bay area...

Either they have screwed up the ad, or there is something very wrong with that car. They've got the description wrong (says a 3.6, a Carrera S is 3.8) so I have got to believe they've accidentally swapped ads. If not, i'd race down there, buy that car and then flog it on ebay for $6-$8K profit.

Go for it!!

Looked at the photos again. That car is straight up beautiful. I don't care much for the wheels, but a Carrera S (an S!!) 997.2 with many great options and super low miles for sub $60K, even if it were a stick, I'd be all over it. There has GOT to be a catch... that is simply too good to be true.

Yeah since it's a Benz dealership, I can't imagine that they swapped ads or make a mistake on the price. But 59.9 is too good to be true. Maybe it has been in an accident but just not specified on the car fax.

That's advertised $59.9. Negotiated would be even less. There must be a catch. Salvage title?

Smile 08 C2S Cab

I searched the US and Canada for three months looking for a white 997.1 C2S Cab 6spd.

I found one matching car (an '08) and bought it a month ago. It's loaded up with PSE, PASM, Sport Chrono, body-coloured seat backs and centre console. Guards red belts and gauge faces, multi function wheel, cast aluminum park brake handle, sport seats and leather trimmed mats! Dealer told me the options list was $20k.
33K miles, one owner traded back in to original dealership on a 997.2

$58,900 cash in Texas.
I can't get the stupid smile off my face every time I take it out. Worth every damn penny!!!

No catch, they simply priced it too low according to the sales manager. Said they received 40 calls, and sold it last night. Was a gorgeous car, and someone got very lucky.
