Default Opinions on this 2017 C2S?

Hi all - looking at a 2017 C2S and would appreciate any thoughts / feedback on the options and car in general. It has somewhat high mileage (~41k) but with an in-service date of 5/2016, that's ~11k/year which doesn't strike me as too terrible? Any issues with it being such an early build? The car is CPO, so it will have an additional 2 years / unlimited miles on the factory warranty. Options are as follows:

BASE - 911 Carrera S
0Q - White
250 - Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
446 - Wheel center caps with colored Porsche Crest
460 - 20" RS Spyder Design Wheels
581 - Luggage net in passenger footwell
583 - Smoking package
602 - LED Headlights incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+)
653 - Electric Slide/Tilt Sunroof in Glass
658 - Power Steering Plus
AG - Standard Interior in Black
P06 - Power Sport Seats (14-way) with Memory Package
P3E - Premium Package Plus i.c.w. Power Sport Seats (14-way)
P3P - Sport Package
QH1 - Voice Control
XSC - Porsche Crest on headrests
XSX - Seat belts in Guards Red

Many thanks!

Nice options. You'll enjoy the 991.2 S, if not loud enough just remove the center can. If you are like many 911 owners and don't drive a lot that will be fine. I just detailed a Base 2017 with 50k miles and for $70k it is a deal! The Base 991.2 is the best kept secret. Fast as heck. If you need more than 13 pounds of boost then you probably launch a lot or track. I have a 991.2 S and it is wonderful.

Sounds like a nice build. 11K is not bad; probably a daily driver.

How are the tires? Tread life ok for the moment? How is the battery? Option 583 means you get another 12V outlet in the center armrest. Open and close the sunroof, several times. Mine squeaked a bit until I treated the seals with Gummipflege and Silicone spray.

Check both doors and make sure you don't see any warping of the door panel or other issues. At 41K miles, the car should have had the 40K service completed. Not 100% sure since it is an S, but my base model C2 has air cleaner elements as part of the 40K service. Was the service book stamped by the dealer? Or do you have other evidence of regular service? It has the Porsche book and both keys, yes?

Here is something I wish I had done - pull both front seat floor mats. Inspect the carpet as well as the driver's heel pad. (heel pad on my car was broken and severely worn. Not a yuge deal but could have helped in the negotiations.)

About all I can think of off the top of my head from my CPO search last year. I love my base '17. No major issues on mine. If the price is right, I would not hesitate. Good luck!

As long as properly maintained the mileage is not an issue, especially with CPO covering any issues that come up.

I would inspect the paint as if it does not have a clear bra it probably has some chips and paint imperfections, that does not bother everyone though.

Build looks good, I am quite a fan of the 18 way or 4 way sport plus seats, but they do not fit every body type, so the 14 ways are a safe choice and are very comfortable and adjustable.
