Something has got to be off. Salvage/accident? Wrong vin on the listing. Their website has carfax for the wrong vin as well. Need to do the homework here.
One of the first things to do when you see a suspicious ad like this is to pull up the dealer website and a google image of the location...
Does this look like a dealer that currently has the late model Porsches, Mercedes, Tesla's, Maseratis and the classic Camaro SS listed on their web site? Pretty common scam... They always have a nice web site with high end cars attractively priced and a middle-of-nowhere dealership. My guess is they try and scam internet deposits from folks and that they have nothing to do with the underlying dealership.

Does this look like a dealer that currently has the dozen or so high-end vehicles listed on their web site? Pretty common scam... Not sure how it works, but they always have a nice web site with high end cars attractively priced.

Yup. SCAM.
Seems like it once was a legitimate business. The old phone number is disconnected. The original owner passed away like 3 years ago. These scam artists find some defunct business, set up a website, and start scams.
Beautiful car with SPORT DESIGN package, manual, Sport Chrono, and PSE.
I would expect to have seen this listed for $10K cheaper though. Have easily seen cars like this for low/mid $80's 1-1.5 years ago. I'm still pretty shocked at the pricing out there. Needed to list it and catalog it here since it's a nice find.
When I bought, similar 991S's with CPO were around $90k. That's almost three years ago.
It's interesting how the 991.1 had massive year 1-2 depreciation (like most luxury cars) but then flattens out remarkably. Some of it is the overall bubble market, some the .2 effect, etc, but for someone who hates rapidly depreciating assets, 2-4 year old 991's are looking pretty good!

Yeah, there are some serious discounts for a 2-3 year old 991! Worked for me...I bought used ones twice LOL...
I got my 2012.5 S with $125k sticker and full TechArt kit for $58k just about one year ago (had front end accident fully repaired by Porsche body shop, no frame damage, and 35k miles when purchased). Even with the accident history, I think it will be a while before I would lose any money on this car....and I wouldn't sell it for that price any time soon either. Cannot justify an extra $50k for GTS or $70-80k for GT3's incremental improvements, the S is pretty awesome already. Seems prices haven't dropped hardly at all in the past two years from when I started my search.
Deals are out there, just have to find them...I love driving manuals but glad I made the switch to PDK, makes my life a lot easier and it's so damn good.
So, I'm almost 5 months in.
And I absolutely despise the PDK.
The car is great. Just sooooo bored without the third pedal.
So, I've decided to sell the car if anyone is interested.
Not sure how CPO works with private sale though.

I'm long time air-cooled junky and this'll be my first water cooled 911.
Found this one near me that I'm going to see on Saturday.
Any thoughts on the price?
Thanks for you help.
Cheers,

CPO passes to buyer through private sale. Miles? Price? How long have you had it again?
