Dealer gave $28k for it and I'm not under the impression they overloaded. They'll likely list for $34.9k or more.

I can get it out the door for $30. That includes:

Admin Fee
Tags
Sales Tax
PPI
Alignment

Basically that works out to a $28.5k sale. The $30k is $1k more than I wanted to spend.

thstone - I'm thinking you are right and they may have overloaded because of the low mileage. It felt very close to a great buy.

You think it's a good ( great? ) buy, but $1000 is a deal breaker ??? Everyone likes to brag about what I hard deal they can drive, but 1K is nothing over 5+ years of ownership if it buys you a truly excellent car.

I here ya. I'm actually not trying to drive a hard deal. The deal is actually what it is, I guess I'm just being indecisive. I talked to the sales manager at who is a good friend at another Porsche dealership and he felt it was a decent buy. He said if I plan of parting with it in the next year to plan on taking a 4 to $5k hit because he thought there would be a lot of other Boxsters coming on the market with the appeal of the 981.

I appreciate the feedback!

I can understand that, plus you already have a Boxster, so there's no "urgent" need to buy.

$500 isn't worth worrying over. If you like the car, buy it.
