Default Considering a 991, appreciate feedback

Hello,

I'm considering a 991 S, 2013 w/20k miles and Certified. Black/Black w/PDK.

I understand we all have our preferences on color and transmission, but I would appreciate any constructive feedback on the car, price, and any watch out for.

Yes, I've owned and own several 993s but looking forward to adding a 991 to the mix for daily commuting mostly.

You can find one with lower miles for around the same price. This one is expensive for the mileage. What is the original sticker price?

I know of a red one with tan interior for a great deal if you like that color combo.

Original sticker looks like around low 120's or so? Hard to follow the options on the site. I think I have them all.

2014 Red Carrera C2S

131K sticker and only 6K miles!

You can probably get it for 92.5K from what he's said. Know him from 6Speed. He takes great care of his cars. Mint shape.

Original sticker was approx $120k.

Black is the must have color wise.

Their down to $87k now, probably out the door with certification at $85k.

Have you seen it in person?

I'd highly highly suggest it. 25K miles is high. If you can swing 85K certified, it's so so. For that mileage I'd like to be around 80K.

I wouldn't do it with that mileage, but if you really like it it's up to you.

Previous owner put 25K miles on it in only 15 months. Where on earth did they drive to? Cross country non stop?

Commuting from Florida to Texas daily?

That's a little over 400 miles weekly. If it was the previous owners DD and weekend warrior, that's approx 59 miles a day.02 T

I did 11 thousand in 7 months. On sunny days. 1 or 2 drives a week.

Ok, maybe not Texas! A little exaggeration on my part.

Regardless of miles, if the price is right, that's all that matters.

I would want to see it in person definitely. I'd suggest not a penny over 85K with his money.

Myself, I'd have other ideas. That's me though.

The car for sale I posted above is a great deal.

I'm very picky myself.

Can fit approximately 66 Connecticut's in TX, so yeah it's is pretty big. Appears the OP is looking for a black exterior. Best to shop around first cause there are plenty out there. re: ebay, cars.com, auto trader, Hemming's, etc.02 T

I wish they would have cleaned up the car a little more before taking pictures to place in the ad.

After owning a car with a full leather interior I probably would pass over this one and continue to look.

Price wise they are all over the map and if you feel good about it that's all that maters.

Maintenance wise with 25K on the ticker it's probably on its 2 or 3 oil change and I hope riding on new tires.

If you start wheeling and dealing have them toss in the 40K maintenance service into the deal.

Yes 20k miles is high for that model year. Curious what the in-service date? If the mileage doesn't bother you you should be able to wheel and deal.
