Hiyas cpmd,
as as for the car itself, only you need to like the car’s color config. while I like white 911s I’m partial to black interiors.. yes, the car appears to be very clean. while that car has a manual transmission, my 2013 Carrera S had to have its entire PDK transmission replaced. things do happen, even if unexpected, the cpo extended warranty is worth it.
as for the price, given that it’s already 5yrs old, and to help protect your downside, I wouldn’t pay a dime over $70k.
best,

SHOW me one comparable car with a CPO and mileage for $70K or less.
Use some common sense here.
There is always "downside" to all cars. They will all depreciate.

Nice manual builds with low mileage and CPO aren't easy to find.
Search all the current listings out there and someone tell me what they come up with in this price range.

This looks like a nice car- I recall taking a virtual look at it when I was in the market a few weeks ago before I got greedy and went for a 991.2 
. I'm always willing to pay a premium for low mileage cars assuming the maintenance history is there and the overrev report checks out ok. I just want my used car to be as new as possible, but there comes a point where new is a better value- but I don't think that's the case here.
I personally like the white with beige interior - a lot, as I get tired of black interiors.. and I'm a fanatic about cosmetic maintenance, the low mileage would really help out here because beige can look tired faster. The only thing that turned me off was the front license plate mount, but there are work arounds if you like the car, unless of course you plan to use the front plate.
This dealer advertises "free shipping" - that in itself tells you that there is room to negotiate on the pricing- I think I'd go in at $73K and meet in the middle. Make sure the CPO service covered the full time-based items, and not just mileage based. Hopefully there's a new battery and tires in there, too. Good luck!

and since when did folks around here start thinking that a dealer’s asking price was the correct price to pay?
in your own words.....”use some common sense here.”
