Is there a link to the sale? I'm sure our crew here could give even more insight if the full list of options and some pics were available... plus, we all love pics.

Here is a link. Also anyone dealt with this dealer before? I'm located in the Atlanta area so first time buying sight unseen. I know Porsche dealers do it all the time so not too worried about that aspect.

 

Does it not have Porsche Entry & Drive? I see the regular key and not a dummy fob... that seems a pretty glaring omission for an otherwise well optioned car.

I'm not usually a huge fan of the clear taillights... but the clear tails with the clear light bar actually kind of work on this one. If you can't get them to budge on the price, they need to at least switch out the amber turn signals for LED clears for you.

 

Here is the build sheet.

Yeah, it doesn't look like it's on the build sheet.
I know some people don't care about Entry & Drive, (and some are firmly against it) but I find it essential for a modern high end car. For me, that feature alone missing from the build would be enough to walk away.

 

I don't think that would be a deal breaker for me but would be nice to have for sure. Dealer is supposed to be sending me a video walkaround soon so we will see.

 

To include black box and paint meter reading. If they are selling for a low price I would verify it is due to mileage.

 

I’ve thought about a PPI but’s it’s out of state and it is a CPO car. I assume it’s in decent shape to sell as a CPO. If I buy the car I thought I may have a PPI done locally and address any issues under warranty. What does the black box tell you?

 

For instance if a car was one of the demo or track cars and launch control had been used say 1000 times it would show the number of over revs or the number of times it bouced off redline. Do not assume it is in decent shape due to cpo. A cpo car can have up to 3 panels repaired and painted. Get a PPI with paint meter readings from an independent shop. Also hand them the check once you get there and throughly inspect. They could still be driving the vehicle. Everyone is familiar with PPI and you should insist.

 

DME report, which is a must for a manual car.

 

This car is a PDK. I plan to get a PPI so I assume that is something they would check but I will confirm.

 

White is over priced even w/ low miles
Black has too many m lies even at $70s ask
love Ts but 911s are pricey now, after the open economy in many states

look out of state for CPOs- there are many


IMO

 

Yes, the biggest concern for me on the car is the miles. I think it comes down to if I want a Targa vs coupe. I can get a better deal on a coupe for sure, but I really like the Targa. I also wonder if prices will change much depending on economic changes due to Covid. I feel like there is a lot of uncertainty, but high end cars are less impacted. I've lost a lot of sleep over it!

 

I live close to Porsche Westwood, let me know if you would want me to check it out.

Also - Don't understand why they would take and post pictures of a dirty interior??

 

to the OP, I won't comment on the deal/pricing as I have not been in the market for some time but can comment on having one:
I have had my Targa GTS now for 5 yrs as my DD; its the first car in over 20 years that I kept past 3 yrs; its just such an amazing car. Yes, it is heavier than a coupe but when the top is down, it's glorious. I have tracked it about once/twice a year and it is no problem. I fit my kids, golf clubs, make Costco runs (of course not all at the same time!) and its not really an issue.
It just comes down to whether you want a targa or not. You may want to reach out to local contacts who have one to get an extended test drive to really make sure its for you.
Either way, enjoy the hunt!
