Another thread...Give me your thoughts on this guards red 59K mile for sale locally

I know this car personally and didn't get a chance to purchase from the owner prior to him trading it in. It has a 2 owner history, first for a few months then the current owner. Meticulously maintained at the dealer, original paint except bumpers, nice interior but wear consistent with mileage and age.
This is a driver, probably not a collector. Dealer is not likely willing to go under 142. I feel like this is all the money and then some and i don't feel the provenance of the previous owner makes up for it. Should i pass on to a lower mileage example. I believe for near 150 i should be getting a 30K mile car.

30 miles car, first paint in very good condition cost in Europe at least 200k €
as soon a car with 30k comes in the Us market for sale 150k the Eurodealer will beat you

If you realistically think for approx $10K more you can get a car with half the miles in equal condition, then yes the answer is pretty clear.
Although keep in mind, you say the detailed history is known, well maintained and in a nice red/black combo do add some value. Unfortunately the reality is the dealer has to make some $ too.
Proceeding with a thorough PPI would be a good start. Cause the reality is even a vehicle with half the mileage doesn't mean it won't require $ into it. And with these cars the bills can add up pretty quickly.

History of the turbo s interior goes like this....first owner was limited founder mr wexner. He bought this car first... once his turbo s came in he sold it immediately to the second owner. Heapparently didng like the carbon fiber interior of his turbo s so the dealer swapped with this car..

A couple TTs sold at Mecum today.
Red/black 17k miles for $140k:

Silver/cashmere 27k miles for $157k:

(Plus a unicorn red/red 5000-miler for $305k but that doesn't really count.)-
$147k for that 59000-mile car is way high. If they actually want to sell it it should be in the low-to-mid 120s. I'd say pass and watch it sit for all of 2016.

The cars had been posted for a couple months. I believe you can arrange for a PPI if you're genuinely interested.

Im all for appreciation of all porsches. I have 4, but i think dealer overpaid, they might have to hold it till spring. Not a lot of tirekickers in the frigid temps next 6 weeks. I might throw a number at them and see if i get any interest. Imo. Huge difference between 20k miler and near 60k. Still kicking myself i didnt buy a 993 in 2004 when i bought my 996tt
