Was made aware of this awesome build in my dealer's inventory today, figured I'd share. Not often that you see a PTS base Carrera, and certainly not on PCCB. Looks a lot like our very own @stout 991.2!!!

Yikes, didn't see that. Just saw the color and went

$88k for a lemon? yowsers, talk about optimism

Hurricane

It is a gorgeous car - LOVE that PTS color and with espresso interior and PCCBs...wow, just beautiful!

Not sure I would want to risk someone else's lemon/buyback, though.

-> That's why it does not come with CPO!

I was under the impression that it is his old car. I didn’t notice the buyback report previously. I thought about driving up and having a look but I’m really set on a non metallic PTS, glad now I didn’t waste my time. I wonder if he’ll share the issue that lead to the lemon buyback.

Might be worth investigating the service repair history. Not all lemons are created equal.

Beautiful car, but how there are tons of 991.2’s out there. Buybacks are not trivial things. Do you want to be saddled with that when you decide it’s time for something new? I certainly don’t, and I think that is a stunner of a car!

Agree that the sale price will have to be a lot lower to generate any serious interest, but maybe the dealer is hoping a buyer won't check out the carfax. A low price may make a buyer suspicious enough to ask questions. OTOH maybe the problem has finally been resolved, and if the new owner can get the car at a big discount, it may be worth the risk but not at $88K. I would think the stigma of "lemon" would be lessened quite a bit if the second owner keeps the car for four or more years.

Interesting build. Leather interior, PASM and PCCB, no SC or PSE though. Definitely not one you see often on a base Carrera for sure.

From the carfax it looks like they were chasing down a rattle/noise.

2700 miles: Dash Trim panel replaced and drive belts replaced, ECU checked
3700 miles: doors checked, flywheel replaced, tires checked
5000 miles: tire repaired
11k miles : tires replaced


If this car came CPO, I wouldn't think twice about buying it.
