My plans are to put in an aftermarket Nav/Bluetooth/Sirius via touchscreen kenwood or pioneer.

I'm a bit surprised you can't locate a C4S cab with less mileage. Both of these looks very close however the tie breaker for me would be the full leather and carbon package. I highly recommend the sport seats if you can find one with that option. They are far more comfortable and offer better support than standard seats. Just my .02

BTW, I added the NAV TV bluetooth, Sat radio and iPod input into the stock radio and it works perfectly.

Neither, I feel that they're both overpriced given the vintage and mileage.

Neither, as they are overpriced as previously explained

There are more options out there and if not today, then be patient 2-4 weeks and continue searching

what they said too. Lots of money with that mileage. My guess is you can buy for under $70k with less than 10k miles on the clock with some good options. Cab season is over now so it should become a buyers market.

can you wait it out for a few months until winter and the 991 hits? I am sure these prices will plummet...You should probably pay at least 10k less!

I can wait but is this a fact or a guess?

Slate Grey is a superb color and kind of rare.
If you're in the SF Bay Area, you're welcome to check out mine.

Why?

With Porsche PCM you got a lot of options that you will lose with moving to aftermarket, specially if you got Sports Chrono.

Car#2, MUCH BETTER options... it's no brainer, altough Slate Gray is a fantastic color!

Well I agree option #2 has better options but he will not budge on the price. I also LOVE the slate grey.

I have talked Option #1 down to $64,000 and because it's only in Pittsburgh I can drive down to get it and save shipping costs and personally inspect it.

My 1K deposit will have a stipulation that it's refundable if the car is not as described (yadda yadda)

Now maybe I can get some sleep at night!!!
