Car 1 definitely has the better packages and price, but car 2 is significantly lower on the milage. Both vehicles are CPO and purchased from my local porsche dealers. Which one would you pick? Please also state the reason

Thank you all for your help, I hope to post pics up soon of my new baby!

#2
Mostly because it's blue.
And for only $3k more has 1/3 the miles and probably one more year warranty.

#2 because of lower mileage/more warranty and the first one doesn't actually have many more substantial features listed that add much value besides maybe the Bose.

I like some of the options on #1, but the car seems priced pretty high.
Before you buy one with 19" wheels like #1 (and no PASM), I would test drive it on the type of roads you would encounter day to day. Might be a bit stiff for comfort.
I think I would go for #2 due to lower miles, but I would factor in the condition of each car.

#1 i like the color combo better but thats personal.

Sport chrono
Bose

But the main question is what do you prefer yourself? Will you be doong many miles or just a little?

The differences seem to be pretty well rekated to the price tags. The blue one may be a safer choice in terms of resale value

What do you expect to do with the car? Daily drive? Auto cross or HPDE events? Weekend backroad drives? It looks like car 1 is a little better set up for performance driving (sport chrono, larger wheels) but car 2 probably has a more comfortable ride (higher profile tires).

this car is going to be my daily car, so undoubtfully car 2 would be the better choice... but love the add-on's for car 1 a lot!

All I can see is Car 1 needs serious paint correction, WTH did they use to dry it with...sandpaper?

Car 1 would be my pick with a full color correction and 3k further discount.

Looks like car #1 has clear bra that is in bad shape. Both cars are over priced in my opinion. You can buy a new base Boxster for close to 54000.

PhilNotHill

Would think you could get a Boxster S for those prices. Or maybe even less.

Love the color combination of #1, but I'd go newer and less mileage with #2 and try to do better on the asking price if possible. I see the ad says Porsche Centre Oakville, so I assume those are Canadian dollar prices. From what I understand you really can't do much better purchasing in the US and importing either.

tcsracing1

blue with blue top. Beautiful.

Prices in CDN dollars seem reasonable for our market. Bose sound system is a nice upgrade - the base stereo is very weak, so depending on how much you value the sound...
Car 1 has a more unique colour combo.
The sport package is nice - little more aggressive shifting patterns.

Not a fan of the 19" wheels - much harsher ride.

Overall, a tough call, but either way, it's gonna put a big smile on your face! Have fun!
