- 2009 XLR Platinum. - Radiant Silver
Two days before Christmas, sight unseen, I committed to buy a 2009 XLR Platinum by sending a $2,500 down payment to a Porsche dealer down in Florida. I had been looking for a clean, low mileage XLR for about a year, preferably a 2007 or 2008 because of affordability. Two weeks before I committed to buy, a new ad popped up for a silver 2009 XLR with only 10,400 miles on it. I called and talked to the salesman who described the car and told me that the original owner traded the car in on a new Porsche. The owner was a doctor and a friend of the salesman. After a half hour on the phone I made him an offer. He told me that he couldn't come anywhere near that figure. However, lo and behold, while visiting my daughter during Christmas week, he called and asked me if I was still interested in the car. His boss had said that they wanted to close out the year and move some of the pre-owned cars. I told him that if he met my original out-the-door offer we had a deal.
I flew down to Florida after the first of the year and drove the car home. Exactly like he described, it was in pristine condition.
