Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Thats a pretty good deal today, but it won't be a good deal in 2 months when the first 2004's hit the dealers and the lack of options is not a plus to me.
POST 3Original post
it's a very fair deal. the only problem is that if the car is a northern car, no basic options like heated seats, but this is a small problem. you are getting an $11,000 discount-you certainly can't get hurt with this deal.
POST 4Original post
It is a very good deal. there has been a lot of discussion in this forum about the fact that when most people sell their straight 996s, they don't get their money back out of the options that may constitute up to $25K on a well equipped 996. However, the C4S has the most desirable options (PSM, Full Leather, AWD, 18" wheels, metallic Paint,power seats w/driver side memory, to name a few) as standard equipment. Try taking all the options that come standard on the C4S and build a Carrera on the Porsche web site and you will exceed the asking price of this C4S very fast. I would jump on it because the C4S is one of the most desirable P cars because of low production.

I can think of two other variables to consider. First, "sales manager's car" is synonymous with "demo". If you are planning to lease the car for three years, and the car will be under warranty, no big deal perhaps. If I were buying the car with the intent on keeping for it a long time, I would want a car that had been broken in properly. You can be pretty sure this car has not been babied. Second, since there are no options, the extent to which this price represents a good deal hinges on the color. You don't mention color in your post. Certain colors, especially silver, grey and black retain value much more than others, such as white, green and yellow. What color is the car?
