Just my little opinion but look at the kind of buyer you will have when you decide to sell this car in a couple of years. Just look at some of the responses here. Slightly used Porsche buyers are generally the most picky, ****, critical car buyers period. Hell, I am. If it's disclosed to you in writing when you purchase the car from the dealer you should disclose it to the next potential buyer when you decide to sell. If it was on a Carfax most second hand Porsche buyers would steer clear.
You would want the guy selling you a 2 or 3 year old Carrera that the hood was resprayed and the windshield replaced. Right? Would you take a pass even if the price was right when you had plenty of other cars to choose from?

I'd try to get that one on a lease for $899 or less per month and as many miles you could get per year. 10k? Now that would be a smoking deal.

I'd just be wary of a 210 day on the lot car.

Agree. This car is not being considered. BTW, swung by McKenna, said hello to Aric for you!

Hit and miss what they have in stock.

I got lucky. They had almost exactly what I wanted. With the only exception being I could do without the sunroof.

And to use that old adage.... Because race car.

Duke I,

When you do an ED the car is yours at point of delivery. Porsche is acting on your behalf to ship the car to you. When you return the car spend a few minutes and photograph your car with GPS enabled on your phone.

I dont think you can, as for ED you either have to execute a purchase or lease agreement prior to taking delivery of the car at the factory, the car is already
yours when you leave the U.S dealership.

I've done 3 and it worked that way each time.

The car is insured for transport at least from port-port if not factory/drop-off-2-dealer.
