Strong price for a car without full leather.
It's hard to tell for sure from the pics on eBay, but I don't think that car has Sport Chrono.

It could be PPF, but you'd need to contact the seller to be sure.

These type of Autotrader and Cars.com ads are always a little sketchy. Private owner with only 3 pics posted... It's either a scam or someone is not really serious about selling their car and just threw it up on the web to see if it attracts any interest.

The only issue with the video is they're talking about the overall market, not necessarily more specialized cars like a Porsche 911. A flood of used cars from rental car companies aren't going to be 911's either.
I don't think you're going to see an influx of used 911's coming to market in 60-90 days.

If you're looking for a mid-sized sedan or SUV, I'd say you're going to hit paydirt.

Here's the spec sheet... pretty mediocre build for 80k IMO, decently low mileage though I guess. But as has been discussed back and forth today... the market is pretty high right now...

You do not have to offer dealers what they're asking. Porsche dealers are a lot worse at bargaining than indy's from my considerable experience. Point is if you're holding out for a car equipped exactly as you want it in the used market better to save and buy new. Compromises have to be made, and make sure you really need all the bells and whistles to begin with. A lot of these performance options most drivers likely do not use as they do not drive the car hard enough. Here's another clean looking c2s with low miles at 75k. Manual, so you do not need sports chrono if you're a seasoned driver.

I agree, i took the 60-90 days argument as a checkpoint

You are not alone. I missed out what might have been a great car for $69k. I took some time to investigate the service history and someone jump in and bought it.

SC is more than launch control. I wouldn’t buy a car without it.
But I like the clock, so there’s that.

Regarding the youtube video on used pricing, I'm not sure the same dynamics are at play for Porsches....the employment hit doesn't impact the Porsche customer base as much. As they mentioned, Wall Street did quite well, stocks are back to pre-covid highs, and so a lot of people who have stocks are doing as good / better than pre covid.

All that said (maybe to make myself feel better), I am looking at 2017 Cabs - How do these two look?

And from the same car guys, why you don't find Porsches at auctions (time stamp 13:30). I enjoy their banter

No launch control on manual. With manual SC only gives you the fancy clock and rev matching when in sport plus mode.
Only the computer can do launch control, so yeah a must have on PDK.
A seasoned driver can do their own rev matching, so with manual you really just get a clock.
