Any input appreciated from this forum.

Thanks,

For the record, posting the car location might lead someone to jump on it… just sayin’

Looks just like the ones they had recently in Alabama at the PSDS.

IXIXI,

Thank you. I was thinking about that but oh well. It will be an extra car, and I am not in a hurry unless it is a decent deal.

Much appreciated.

John,

Same car, perhaps?

Appreciate the photo.

I don’t think so, the car you are looking at has Platinum Wheels, the one in the pic at the track looks like it has Black Wheels.

Cheers,
Harry.

I don't know if it's the same. They had several when my wife went late last year. In general the cars there have 18w seats and PCCB. Some manual, some PDK.
I would ask and investigate if that matters to the client of course. I've seen dealers announcing those cars as demo, used, executive and even new.

A demo car for $11k over MSRP? No thanks. Maybe for $15-$20k under MSRP. Demo cars can be abused and not broken in correctly and you have no way of knowing. Probably washed with a brush and took the cat to the vet etc.

It's already online and not like it's a good deal or anything.

I'd pass on that. A 2020 with miles for $11K over MSRP? Wait for an allocation near the same number and configure to your desires.

I did a little digging around. The car was purchased from Porsche Track Experience, and most likely the same car.

In that case, I will keep looking.

Thank you all.

Those are driven hard and not necessarily well. CPO PCCBs are not tested for rotor thickness (apparently more involved than using a pachymeter).

pretty sure this car was sold on Friday. I was going to go in and test drive it since I live right next to them and my SA told me that they had sold it so I ended up not going in on Saturday like was planned.

Ah, and the website has not been updated yet.

Well, I am glad somebody got that "good deal" instead of you or me.
