'14 981 CS CPO 16k miles, stacked options for $52k
Doing some research for my first Porsche. Looking to get a 981 but sadly probably won't happen until next year. I came across this CPO from Porsche of Rancho Mirage in CA. Seems like a killer build for an amazing price. Does it seem to good to be true?
I figure I'm currently not in the position to buy right now but someone in the community should investigate and hopefully buy it. Hope this helps! https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...9b41f6d997.png https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...d5f8f5ebcf.png |
Nice build, and good but not killer price for a CPO car. The only thing I don’t see is PASM. Big plus though for the sport exhaust. |

Ah ok. I'm surprised to hear you say that it isn't a great price. It seems to be an outlier in the National CPO search when you compare similar price or build. I'm just educating myself so good to hear others thoughts.
And yes, sport exhaust seems to be more on the rare side for the current lot of CPOs (in my price range of <$55k anyway) |
Make sure you do a search at Cars.com or some of the other sites as well.

That dealer has had that car for quite a while - you should be able to do a lot better than $52k, I think it should go for no more than $48k.
|
Seems like a good price to me, at least on the east coast. I just picked up a 15 CS with 10,000 miles and it was a few grand more.

Wrong steering wheel, no sport chrono, but yes, given the options and miles if the car checks out with no prior big crash damage and PPI is clean, price is OK. If not planning to track the car, the steering wheel and no SC are probably not big deal, IMO of course.

Great point. I wasn’t even considering the steering wheel. I do plan to track the car. So the sport wheel is considerably different? I’ll have to find an example of each and try them. |

Sport chrono will give you more aggressive sport plus mode for automatic transmission shift points and also the dynamic transmission mounts that stiffen up when the car is driven aggressively. If you were a serious track rat, you could accomplish the aggressive auto shift points with a Cobb PDK tune (expensive, because you have to buy the basic Cobb first, $1,295, and then the PDK tune for $700), and you could install solid or semi-solid engine and transmission mounts, but for a dual purpose street/track car, sport chrono with the dynamic gearbox mounts is a better choice, IMO.

As a data point, I picked up a 2013 981 Boxster S earlier this year that had PDK, sport chrono, sport steering wheel, PASM, nav, etc. It was pretty heavily loaded. Only thing missing that I really cared about was the sport exhaust. 10K miles that I bought for upper $40K’s from a Porsche dealer, CPO. |

The sport wheel has aluminum flappy paddles for the PDK instead of the thumb push buttons, but sport wheel also has no ability to provide multi-function buttons to control music, etc. The flappy paddles are nice and long, cover a good area of the circumference of the steering wheel. You don't have to have your hands so your thumbs are right by the buttons. You can always use the shift lever though with either wheel. The sport wheel is a better looking piece of hardware also, if that matters to you.
I really appreciate your explaination of SC. I thought for a manual it was just a throttle response change but the dynamic engine mounts are significant. I probably wouldn’t go the after market route. This will be a DD with spirited driving and only about 6-8 track/auto-x sessions a season. Sounds like SC is going in the “must” category. |
Correction- I see you said “transmission” mounts and not “engine” mount. |
