Beautiful 09 S, 8000miles, blk/tan but it's $50,500. That's about 10K more than I want to spend...

IMS install is what $2500? Trust me you want the IMS-less engine. Wait for next spring price will drop, that's a 100% guarantee!

I'm in no rush so I will wait. Not sure if 35k for an 05 S or mid 40's for an 09 is better. Maybe an 03/04 S for 20's is better yet.
I think the dealer with the 09 is going to stay very close to 50k. That's just too much for me.

New one.
I just was speaking to a friend who bought a 2009 - waited forever to get it. And then after winter storage the battery was dead this spring. Then a second battery died and then a third. Turns out they all had a cell go bad and couldn't be charged or jumped. Waited his whole life to buy a Porsche ( boyhood dream) and them got a guards red lemon. Returned it to the dealer and got a bimmer.

SeaNile, for comparison purposes, I recently bought an 05 S w/pasm, 19" Carrera wheels, heated seats, auto climate and full leather, 32k miles and CPO for $30,500.
I had to make the same decisions as you. In the end, I'm really happy with this choice. Great car, very reasonably priced. Maybe I will get an 09 when my cpo runs out...Matt

Matt,
That is exactly what I am looking for. CPO would be a huge bonus, maybe even a necessity with the IMS issue.
Did you buy from a dealer or private? Where in PA are you? There was an 05 that recently sold at Rosen.
