Default Deal/Opportunity on a 2018 TTS Certified - $165k

Only 3k miles - $165, no affiliation, but seems like a good deal to pass along in case anyone is looking to upgrade to the 991.2

That’s a great price. The 17’s with 9,000 miles are advertised at $175-179 here.

Seems about $20k too good to be true.

I wonder if there is any documentation of the damage. Doubtful right? I'd pass.

Nicely specced too.

What I have noticed in the past is that when the price is unusually good, there is an accident which is not being disclosed.

One time a car was listed at a great price. Someone showed pictures of the listing on this board or 6speed and it turns out that the previous owner posted that she had owned the car and been in accident. While it had been repaired to a high standard she sold it. The dealer pointed at the clean carfax and didn't disclose the accident. The only giveaway was the low price.

Sorry guys, I didn't run a report on it - my naive understanding was that in order to receive CPO certification from Porsche a car had to be accident free...

Barry - is carfax your source? If not, is there another database to check?

You are mostly correct. I believe there's a damage limit above which a Porsche isn't supposed to be CPO'd.

There is ample evidence that a lot of Porsche Dealers simply pay the CPO fee and don't bother at all with any of the inspections or maintenance required for CPO.

In my case, our CPO Macan received none of the required-for-CPO service. Or, at least, it was poorly performed.

The two major exceptions prohibiting Porsche vehicles from ever entering the Porsche Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Program are:
  • Porsches that do not have a full and complete authorized-dealer service history
  • Porsches that have crash damage, i.e., with four or more repainted panels and/or with evidence of frame repair
