Sounds pretty reasonable to me, actually. Especially considering that it is CPO (which adds, supposedly, 3-4k). I would shoot for 10% off and see where that takes you. Ive never bought a car from these guys but their service department is EXCELLENT and they have a great overall reputation in the area (no affiliation with them, aside from paying customer). Good luck! -Dom
Sorry,but I sold my base 2013 991 C2 coupe with nothing other than PDK in late 2014 because the PDK bored me after 15 months pf ownnership. I sold it for $68K. I love my new 2015 991 GTS.

Reason: spelling
Just FYI in case you don't already have this, here is the original price and options. Seems to be modestly configured more for comfort/touring/looks than performance, so it probably hasn't been driven all that hard.
Cabs carry some premium even as a base, and it probably carries a little more of a premium in mid-to-south Florida than in some locations. Just a guess on my part. I'm sure they've left some room for a few thousand in haggling... if they don't find a buyer at a better price sooner than later. Now is probably a good time for some haggling.
StornRune -Thanks for the information. How did you get the build sheet?
Freeman - I drive a 996.2 manual and not sure that I can make the transition to PDK however, it is getting difficult to find a manual in 991 carrera's.

I don't know if you are already checking the Porsche NA site for CPO preowned cars, but here are the comparable asking prices there including the one you are looking at.
The asking price seems pretty much right in the middle compared with the others. Some may be optioned differently though.
That one in Cherry Hill has a lot lower miles and appears to be closer to you for the same price!
One more thought. The Cherry Hill car has Sport Chrono and Sport Exhaust. With a PDK, most of us highly recommend Sport Chrono for much improved shifting behavior. I also find Park Assist to be a plus in these cars, although I understand some don't care for the sensors. It's my understanding that its even more useful in a cab than in my coupe.
Cabs carry premiums? I think they depreciate much faster...
Yes - cabs carry a premium. Not as much as they once did but probably 5% with the 991 used market, all else being equal. Don't get me wrong, I still think the coupe is better looking (and I own a cab, though they are closer in shape then they have ever been).

^this^ If you don't get the PSE (sport exhaust), you'll wish you did later. I have Sport Chrono and PSE on both my 991 & 981 and, even with manual trannies in both, think it was worth every penny. You can add PSE pretty easily, I've never heard of anyone adding Sport Chrono. Best of luck, StormRune has given you a lot of great info, I had to fumble around here with search for a few weeks before I learned that stuff...

OP, I agree the car you initially pointed out does seem a bit high as I would guess the trade in to be about $55K.
The Cherry Hill Car has less mileage but a questionable issue on the Carfax you may potentially want to clarify.
I would guess you can get at least 5% and possibly up to 10% off the ask with the winter weather at least in the northeast here.
If both are CPO it appears that warranty will run you to early 2019.
I have dealt with Cherry Hill. I can give you the contact of the salesperson who I dealt with, if you decide to pursue. Just let me know.

Prices for .1s have gone up considerably since then, so that same car is probably around the same price now (considering it has more miles).
The price for that cab seems reasonable. Of course try and work them down, but I found dealers were reluctant to discount .1s much, as ones Id inquire about would go quickly. Thus, what those of us in the market learned firsthand; if you see a good one, jump on it before someone else does.
That said, I notice the market isnt as strong for cabs. Which is natural, especially as time goes on.
