The most interesting man in the world says,

I don't always buy a Porsche but when I do, I prefer the ones I like the, not the ones other people like.

There is nothing wrong with the Plastic dash, but OP was asking about the price. Leather costs money. It's absence is not reflected in that price. Besides, I pointed several options that are not present, and can point even more that affect performance and experience in general. If it didn't matter, nobody would buy it and Porsche would not offer it.

Aha I see, I misunderstood. I didn’t know you were planning on trading in the vette . In that case, I wouldn’t have a problem pulling the trigger if you don’t mind the color and soft top. The door panels would still concern me though. I’d get it in writing that it would be covered if they warped.

I may be in the minority but I think having the non-leather dash and door panels make perfect sense on a convertible.

And of course it's overpriced, it's CPO at a Porsche dealership. If you like it, buy it and make up the difference by lining your pockets with their snacks.

I haven’t been tracking prices recently but it’s a 2019 (last year of 991.2) and it’s Miami Blue. Whether you like MB or not the fact is there are far less of those that come up when compared to silver, black, greys or white. The dealer knows this and someone that has to have that color will pay up.

When I put those factors together in addition to the CPO my opinion from the cheap seats is $90k.

Its a very base 911 besides the Miami blue. Just wondering what the professionals think of it.
Small world! We almost pulled the trigger on this one, My Wife has wanted a Miami Blue cab ever since I rented one for her on for her Birthday (A 992 Shark Blue Cab). We saw this one in advertised Florida, but we live in SoCal. Plus $1000+ in dealer fees and such, and having to buy sight unseen...she was not thrilled about that. (I would have no reservations myself, it being a CPO car) even so, being a CPO car long story short, after a few face time look arounds with Anthony (nice sales guy) we decided Miami Blue and a Cab was too much of a "look at me" car and she didn't want the upkeep, wear and tear of a Cab, and the rear blind spots of a Cab. In MHO it's a good deal, except I would rather have the 14 way seats...but I still dream of having this one myself...a great color combo...90K would be nice...but I don't think the price will go down much more than 95K...I think they want to move it to a different location within the AutoNation network...price may even go up then...
She wound up buying with a 2018 CPO Base Coupe with a SOUL exhaust with 19K miles in Graphite Blue Metallic here in SoCal.
I would go for it...best color...not many out there...

Judging from what everyone else has said I don't believe I'll pull the trigger unless it goes down to 90k or below. I have seen some other base 992s popping up for the same price so I'm trying to be patient. Glad you guys found what were looking for as it's definitely rough out here buying used lol!

Thanks. :-)
lol my Wife said the same thing about the price/prices...good luck if you're set on Miami Blue. We test drove one here in Burbank (a 2019 T) but it was a little beat up IMO...and I believe it was repainted on the passengers side, and he still wanted 95K with no warranty and 56k miles if I remember...cant find it now, so either he sold it or took it off the market...good luck to you!

This time around I went with a local car [one owner] and a base model with a 2015 MSRP of 112k. It has what I need, less crap to break like my S that was 135k. And, this time I decided on a color I don't have to wash as often and is a cabriolet. I went from a stage 2 M4, which had unusable power. Good luck to you!

I’m a Porsche guy so I never try to talk anyone out of buying a car “but”. If what you really want is a Turbo S and already have a new C8 why not wait if it’s not years down the road. Accumulate some cash and get what you really want instead of a fairly basic car. Just my opinion , it’s yours that counts.

This makes the most sense to me. Don't "settle" if it's not the car you truly want. If you do choose to take a swing at the car you've linked I'd suggest offering 8% less than the asking price. They'll likely say no but may also counteroffer. If they stand firm on price or you're looking for something to make the deal click for you ask for more years on CPO.

Just my ramblings. Good luck with your hunt!
