  1. Very helpful member!

  2. The sport chrono doesn't do a lot on the C2 or C4s other than some suspension tweaks .. You will see a bigger difference with that option on the turbo as it adds some additional torque mid-range. My wife's DD is a 2011 911TT ... We test drove a 2011 C4s and the only difference was about 115hp and some pretty substantial torque, Other than that the cars were pretty much identical. All of these were 6MT .. We don't do slush-boxes. I am a firm believer that you don't own a modern P car without a warranty even if you're a DIY'er ... YMMV. --CC If PDK was not available, I guess it was a tiptronic. Is that not a good system?
  3. I hoped I'd get suggestions about the 08 911 turbo CAB but as I read my own post, it was not very good. I was looking for suggestions on how I can evaluate the car and decide on an equitable deal. I am an older beginner in the Porsche. I am not familiar with this car and hoped others would comment about their experience, what they would look for. I have driven a 2010 Cerrara 4S and liked it (not a vert). Not a turbo but very nice. Price about equal to this 08 turbo CAB. Should I play it safe and purchase the newer car with warrante in trade off for performance and the CAB? I don't really need a CAB but see it as a bonus. Is this garage queen a car to consider or should I look for a CPO? This car is at a Porsche dealer. I don't know if others have negotiated service or warranty rather than price. Ideas from others appreciated. Turbo's are kind of funny when it comes to price. You will see a similar year and mileage and a crazy variation in price.. I think that $98k for the car you mentioned is too much. How many miles are on it? It is cab though which demands a higher price. I bought a 2007 TT coupe with 38k miles with all options (including ceramic brakes) for $76,000 last year. I absolutely love my car...:clapping: I would definetly try to get a CPO car. I have a CPO on mine and although nothing major has happened it has paid for many little things and my dealer really takes care of me.. I would shop around and look everywhere to get an idea of what an average price is for the car you want. Be patient.. There are a lot of Turbos out there and take a look at the 07's as well. Good luck This car has ~8,000 miles, with red brakes not the yellow ceramic brakes. Great to hear you love your car. Yes, I will wait for the right one.

  5. I had a very nice test drive yesterday of a 2011 Cerrara and a 2010 4S. The 4S was very much enjoyable. Quick cornering made this car stand out. I prefer Mannual but both were PDK. I liked the PDK and the paddle shifter option. The sports exhaust was ok. I'm not sure I understand the sport chrono option (benefits). Tomorrow I will drive an 08 911 Turbo that is NOT a CPO with under 10K miles. What do I need to know about this car? The 08 Turbo is priced the same as the 2010 C4S (<1,000 miles). 2010 has warranty turbo does not. How do I verify the 08 was not over rev'ed? Thank's
  6. Here is a good place to find DE and other track events:motorsportreg.com http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/calendar?utm_source=msr-calendar&utm_medium=email&utm_content=toplink&utm_campaign=Jun11
  7. I also ram at Road America May 6 & 7 for the PCA Milwauke DE. Was a good time and tires grabbed well.
  8. I sure appreaciate this forum and the advice of Loren and other experienced members. Does 911 Turbo designate a specific model? Sorry, I'm a bit uncertain. Price$98,990 Get ePriceClick Here .Bodystyle2 door ConvertibleEngine3.6L H-6 cylExt. ColorGrayMileage7,468Stock NumberP10290AAVinWP0CD29948S788280. What can you do to evaluate & Negotiate price. Go to Autotrader or Edmonds? Thanks for all advice.
  9. Thank you for the wishes of good luck. I am very impressed with this useful reply. Perhaps I am better off going to a Porsche dealer to reduce odds of big problems. If I go for a PPI and there is 3-4 hrs of inspection, we can be sure they will find some work. My gues this PPI will cost ~$500-700 If the extra things are done ~$1500 What is a fair way to approach the price valuation @ $26,900? Appreciate all advice.
  10. I have three BMWs and I'd like to consider a new to me car. http://appleton.craigslist.org/cto/2369744218.html This is a local car. 1. What do I sak owner (service history, accidents, accidents) 2. What do I expect to pay for PPI and what approximate costs and what needs to be done? 3. Should I be looking toward a newer car with newer technology? 4. What might I expect. Thanks, this is my second post I appreciate your advice.
