I am looking to buy a '95 993 from an honest seller in the desert area. He was so honest that he mentioned that he has fretted about watching the temp gauge climb like a demon when stuck in traffic. In fact, he thinks he should consider a different car altogether due to the fact that the climate (and his use in the climate) is not conducive to a 993's overall health. If I get a compression check and a leak down test, would that be sufficient testing to reassure me that the heat had not damaged the engine? |

Appreciate any input from the experts. I have one solid opportunity and a lot of other opportunity input. Solid one is a Red 2006 911 Certified Cab w/13k miles and solid amount of options (Xenon lights, Wheel caps with colored crests, CD changer, Power seat Package, Heated Seats, BOSE stereo and 19” Carrera “S” wheels). The price would be $65.9 but I think I can push them a bit more. I live in CA. Other things I'm encoutering from Porsche dealers, non-Porsche dealers having Porsches and private parties is centering around high 60s to low 70s. Certified cars are going in the 69-70s range. Questions: 1. I had not really thought about a Red 911. My optimal colors are Black, Silver, Gray and Blue. I know color is quite personal, but any visceral reactions to "red"? 2. Is red considered a "lower value" or "problem" color that could make it harder to sell down the road? 3. Any thoughts on the price of $65ish for this car? 4. Any thoughts on an additional $4-6k to get a preferred color (again, understand somewhat personal)? 5. Any thoughts on the 69-70ish ranges I repeatedly am hearing for these cars (outside of the red one I've found)? Thanks. 1st time Porsche buyer so want to do it right!!

| Is anyone aware of any reputable dealers who are giving good deals (~10% off msrp) on 997s S, S4 or Turbo (no tip)? I'm flexible on date of delivery so I can wait another 6 months if I can get some good savings. I would hate to pay close to sticker. | |
In my experience, a good deal on a NEW CS4 would be first finding one and then hope color and options are to your liking. Most dealers will be selling at list.

Replying to: marinedoc (Apr 19, 2008 3:49 pm) In my experience, Porsche makes it very easy to check dealer inventories using their web site Porsche USA, clicking on "Find a Dealer" and then checking inventories of every dealer within 50-100-200+ miles of your location. As for "most dealers" selling C4S's for list price, I don't think so - unless they stumble upon a naive buyer. There are plenty of C4 and C4S's around, at least within 200 miles of my location (Washington DC). If you are willing to compomise a little on your exact option preferences, a $10k+ discount on a $100k+ MSRP C4S cab is certainly not out of the question. That's the discount I got from a Baltimore dealer on my C2S Cab in 2005 at a time when the redesigned 997 Cab's had only been out for 2-3 months and the economy/demand was much stronger. Today, the 4 DC area dealers that wouldn't take more than $1k off any new 997 in 2005 are all offering significant discounts on in-stock cars, if the buyer has the common sense to ask.
