'02 Coupe / '00 Cab

Hi Guys, I have an opportunity to either purchase a pre-owned '02 C2 or a '00 C2 Cab for 70k. I have a few questions. 1: Are those good prices? 2: Which one would you recommend me getting? Thank You.

Hard to say since you are looking at a coupe vs cab. So, you need answer that question first then move on. But, I would go with the 02 since you get a better engine. I think the folks who want from 99-01 to 02 seems very pleased. But I think 70k is bit high for a used 02. I think more like mid60k is the right area.

I guess my question is would I give up alot of driving experience by getting a Cab and I've heard ppl say that they would rather get a Boxster S than a C2 Cab. 65k for a used '02? Hmm..if the sticker is ~75k...is that too low? I'm just afraid to be hustle by the dealer. Thanks for the help

Price on the cab is WAY too high I am looking at '99s and seeing lots of them at $57k I could never buy a coupe, just not a sportscar for me (same with Tip) If you feel the way I do, there's your answer

Brand new base C2 is $68K sticker. 2001 base C2 is $58K dealer price (NADA). Figure $10K diff. Agree with bloke, mid 60's or less appropriate price for 75k sticker for several reasons. Brand new C2 already being bought at 3-6k discounts, it may be MY '02 but it is still a USED MY '02, 7k worth of options in a USED car usually gets minimal credit to the sale price. Also, at $70K, why buy a used car? There may be savings such as luxury tax, but the question that always begs to be asked is, why did it end up as a used car for sale? Wouldn't you be better off buying new C2 with dealer discount?

I recently purchased a 2001 C2 Cab here in central Florida. I think pricing can vary quite a bit depending on location and option (not to mention all the standard things like condition, etc). When I went looking for a Cab I found that they weren't available long before they were sold The pre-owned Porsche salesman told me that Cabs sell fast. I thought it was just a sales angle until I called back the next day only to find out the car (1999 C2) was sold 30 minutes after I drove it. I also found that 996 C2 coupes were readily available (99-02), but I wanted a cab, which I finally got but had to move fast on.

I know this has been discussed before but after chking the price of a loaded C2..it is about a few thousands within a C4S.. my question is since I'm living in CA, would I even reap the benefits of having the 4wd etc? and whether it make sense for me to spend the extra $$ to get the C4S? Thanks so much guys for your advice

For me, YES!!!! Mine is essentially a fair weather car, but the performance upgrades and looks were enough to convince me. As you've said, this has been discussed before, so do a search of the archives. LOTS of info there, as well as conflicting opinions. Keyword: C4S. After that, go look at the cars and test drive them. Only YOU can decide.

i went through a similiar decision i advise like palting that you drive the c4s before you decide. you might like it as much as we do! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> i think that the extra equipment and 4wd are easily worth the extra bucks. just be sure you drive a c4s before you decide! let us know what you decide! <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
