Every Option? Really? Every. Option. You sure 'bout that?

Sorry, don't know a thing about it, but that Ad has some funny $h1+ in it.

125K with 31K miles, no CPO.... not a chance. Turbo's are very sensitive to miles. I am not saying don't drive them, but I would rather pay 135-140K for a TT with under 10K miles.

FYI, I picked up a 14 TT with an MSRP of 189K with 4K miles for 141K. CPO too.

Price didn't seem too far off the mark considering the miles, but I'm not a fan of the color combo. I mostly just wondered if there was a back story. This is a U-Sell lot where you just rent the space, and the cars on the lot are not normally late model turbo Porsches (ahem...). Weird place to sell a Turbo S. It's just sitting out in the elements, squeezed in next to cheap door-dingers, baking in the sun with the windows up, and getting dirtier by the day.

Ya think? No where else would you even think about "Ice Cold AC" as a selling point.

How so? Mechanically sensitive? Depreciation?

Depreciation. This is a a very high mile car... for a 14 turbo.

That's why I asked what would be a fair price.

Fair price, not sure..... maybe 110-115. Personally I would find a few more $$ and go lower miles... this car going to be tough to sell when your done.
