$51k and 24k miles. Light weight seats. Looks like a very good deal but has been there for months. Had anyone seen it?

Modifications and a pretty base spec PDK car.. and it’s at CarFax??? Oh and it’s offseason.

Pros
+Sport Buckets
+AC
+Sport Chrono

Cons
​​​​​​-GT3 Vent Cut into Bumper
-Front Plate Drilled
-Black Painted Wheels
-Base Radio
-Non Factory AUX added?
-PDK
-No Xenons
-Interior condition?
-4 owners

keep in mind this is what I see based on my personal opinion and photos and realize it’s just that... an opinion.

Looks nice. Aftermarket exhaust, cut front bumper and suspect wear on steering wheel/overall dirty - would concern me.
Seats, sc and pdk are pluses for me, pdk maybe not for purist.
Wheels not sure. Vents, front and side black vs silver (I had mine painted at Porsche dealer too)
looks like an ok deal if it all checks out.

Interesting - the wear on the steering wheel particularly. https://www.carmax.com/car/16758962#&gid=1&pid=11

It is an upgraded wheel, that looks like it really has been abused. Not sure how that can happen in such little miles, although the radio buttons are all worn in the same way. Maybe sitting out in the sun?

Either way - with the LWB's, still pretty darn good deal. Put the carmax warranty on it... not bad.

Keep an eye on it - I was told by the Carmax in Austin that they will often send cars to auction if they don't sell AND the interior isn't great - which is what you are seeing here. On auction this goes for $40K, that is a steal.

The frunk front trim is pulled out, not sure what that is all about and it makes me wonder if the front bumper was repainted or hit? The interior definitely looks like it’s been beaten and not cared for. It’s worth checking out though, if it’s been maintained and just needs some cleaning and a few trim pieces it could be a great deal.

clean it trim it re-cover the SW, offer $47K and you have a great deal if no accidents and a more detailed review of interior (scratches, nicks, dents) is acceptable, tires?, wheels close-up condition? and not smoked in.

Problem is they won't negotiate. There was a 2014 Cayenne S I wanted to buy from them, dashboard was a mess - leather was scratched. They would not move an inch on price, until they finally send them to auction. Strange method. It would not surprise me to see this one wind up in auction and go for less than $40K.

Better yet, buy it, swap out the seats, clean it up and sell it for what you paid. Seats are worth 10k alone?

The price is always firm, but they will fix a lot of things for you. On a Cayenne they refinished wheels, replaced a compass ($600 materials), replaced a window button and more.

I saw it dropped to $49.9K, now it is showing on the site, but cannot be reserved. Curious. https://www.carmax.com/car/16758962?...tm_content=DSK

Either someone has reserved it, or it is going to auction.
