Has most of the options I'm looking for except the sport design package. But given the price of the white one, this one doesn't look like a great deal... Or is the white one just an amazing deal?
The white Aerokit one is an amazing deal. I would just negotiate a CPO like I said. Hopefully all checks out clean with no accidents, etc.

Which one are you looking at specifically? That link lists them all.

Guys - what do we think/know about this one?

Its been on the market for a little while
2013
C2S
24,000 miles
WP0AB2A99DS123023

Asking $69,950


Carfax looks clean - one owner no accidents, with service records

I called a buddy of mine who's a dealer, and said they bought it at auction for $65,000 and it was listed as "average" condition..

What is average condition in auction terms?
I would be fine with average if it means just a few rock chips

Thanks for the feedback. Was just listed a few days ago and now it looks like it's already sold. The search continues...

Has a nice build. I'd see in person. "Average" means little to me. Seats look weird. Pics or staining?

Website pics look decent. Looks like typical Porsche lease by the CarFax. 10K service done at dealer. These types of dealers make me cautious. I'd really investigate. Never buy sight unseen.

Warranty is expiring in a little over a year too.

Sometimes I see cars listed with a "741 PCNA Display Vehicle".
I understand this means the car was owned by PCNA and used for either car shows or demo but should that raise any concern from a buyer perspective?
Or is it a good thing somehow?

Thanks for the advice and build STG

So if one were to move forward with this, next steps would be....

1. Check out the car in person
2. if good schedule a PPI

anything else?



Also, is it possible to CPO a car like this, that is still on factory warranty, but doesnt come from a dealer?
E.g you buy it then take it to a Porsche dealer later to be CPO'd?


Finally, being cautious about buying from non-porsche dealers, is there anything that would void the factory warranty, and make the 4yr/50kmile not effective any more like an accident or lack of service records?

A car cannot be CPO'd unless it is sold through a Porsche dealer and goes through their inventory.

The factory warranty is fine. Unless they can reject anything from unapproved mods or that you neglected the car. This car looks fine. It had the 10K service. Why the dealer didn't buy it from Porsche financial after it was turned in I don't know? Usually dealers keep nice cars to sell themselves.

If price point is important to you, this looks like a car worth investigating. It has all the nice performance options, and finding a manual priced well in this combination isn't the easiest

Ok boys. This is a find. A drivers C2S!

2013 C2S with only 8K miles!

Manual, no sunroof, PCCB, SC, PSE, SPASM, PDCC & Burmester/18 ways (for the icing on the cake).

Plus all the other bells & whistles.

Now .... Just listed on cars.com for $85K but their website shows $95K. Price drop or screw up?? This car is SWEET ....
