Thinking about buying a 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S from a family friend. He's offering 30k. Here are the specs
2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S – 40,100 miles
Black/Black
VIN:
Options:
• 6 Speed Transmission
• 4 wheel drive – traction control system
• Automatic rear spoiler
• Sport suspension
• Anti-lock brakes
• Power steering, window, locks, sunroof, keyless entry, cruise control
• AM/FM Stereo; multi CD changer
• Air conditioning
• Aluminum interior trim
• Aluminum alloy wheels
• Black all leather power bucket seats; leather steering wheel
• Air bags, front and side impact
• Cover and lock
Car looks to be in good to excellent condition. Is this a solid deal? Posting the same in a car forum but curious if anyone around here has some advice.
Message me the vin.
I used to sell cars. I'll have someone from my dealership run Blackbook on it. 30 seems a little steep from a Private Party for a car that is now 10 years old. (especially a family friend)
I would personally advise against a Porsche. Go BMW or Mercedes. Porsche will come off as SUPER try hard to some (meaning most) women and you will only impress the gold diggers. And I highly doubt you are looking to buy a Porsche to impress your mom..... BMW and Mercedes are still luxury (obviously) but you can still appear like you are economical. Blowing your money on a car really isn't worth it. Especially one that is that old.
The brakes alone on a Porsche will run you about 2500 for BRAKE PADS. Maintenance is a BITCH.
