You wouldn’t happen to have any info on this car do you. I’ve been trying to track it down to buy.

This is more an informational post than anything, but figured the data point could help someone in the market. Just picked up a 2017 991.2 GTS cabriolet, 57K miles, PDK, full PPF, CPO, looks and drives absolutely like new (couldn't find a single dent, ding, scratch, or chip on it, there's no way in hell you'd believe the odometer if you drove it) for $99K. They were asking $119K but over the month prior to my purchase they'd dropped it to $109K, then $105K, and I bought for $99K. Amazing car, super pleased.

I had that car saved in my autotrader! Sounds like you got a great deal. Enjoy!

I'm glad I beat you to it! LOL I'm super thrilled with both the deal and the car, it was exactly what I was looking for. Literally the only thing I would change is the Burmester for the Bose, but I'm doing the tweeter swap as we speak, so that will help.

I've been tempted to list my 2017 GT350 because the market seems okay-ish still, well at least in Utah. My goal is to move into a Porsche and with the prices coming back to normal on them, I won't have to wait too long.

Very nice! This makes me happy.

Nice deal. The high mileage CPO cars are very intriguing to me. Minimal downside and nothing to worry about mechanically.

I had my heart set on a T, but found this CPO GTS for sale.

https://www.porscheconshohocken.com/...1a12a021a5.htm

I am seriously considering buying this one as I love the GTS too. The basic spec is:

'17 GTS Coupe
33k miles
CPO
Lava orange
Manual
Heated/vented 18-ways
Bose
Standard 20" Carrera S wheels (I think this means 5-lug?)

I had wanted RAS but for a car like that, I think I'd be ok without RAS. I have yet to see any pictures. They're asking about 112. I was going to offer 105-107ish. Does that sound about right? Any input appreciated!

This looks great value, good luck!

I once bought a CPO 911 from this dealer. They were nice to deal with generally but I found out later they didn’t replace the battery as they should have so check stuff like that.

I saw that too. That's a lot of owners in a short lifespan...

Yeah, I was honestly looking for a car that ideally had between 10K-12K miles per year on it, that seems to be the happy point for these cars; driven enough to keep them happy but not so many miles that the interior/paint is ragged out.

Thought I’d ask here while you are discussing owner numbers…..I bought a CPO GTS, per the Carfax I’m owner 3 or 4…but I’m owner number 2. Original owner renewed his lease once or twice if I recall, dealer showed me the docs and everything lined up, it was in fact only owned once prior.

Is this easy to correct with Carfax or do they not care? If so, any tips on the process?

I bought my '18 GTS coupe a little over a year ago with 50k miles. Sounds like ours both are in similar condition. I've put 10k glorious, trouble free miles on it so far. Congrats and enjoy!

I had Carfax correct a report on my car before. It showed an accident when the issue was a tire and rim replacement only (pothole on the freeway). They changed it to exactly what it was instead of an accident. I provided them with the repair documents and they changed it. Here is their email: ConsumerResearch@carfax.com
