As a new member I wanted to say Thank you to STG991 and members that posted information in Hot for sale pick. Reading the post help me decide on what I wanted when deciding on the 991. Two weeks ago I purchase a CPO 2014 Agate 991 4s.

 

Their website looks valid but don't see this car's stock number on there. Expect you are correct.

 

Sweet!! Congrats. Please do an intro thread on the main board. I'd like to see some pictures and get more information on your buy.

 

Another bad "badge job". Not the worst we've seen, but

 

EW! Why do people do this? because they replaced the rear bumper?

My C2S is simply badged "911". Less is more IMO...

 

Either a repaint, or someone took off the badge and was put back on by them or a dealer. In this case the "Porsche" letters are placed too close and the whole thing is screwed up. You really can't freehand these installs. Need a template.

 

Also, going to post one last pic as a thank you to STG for this thread.

Got her tinted last week; dealer threw it in! Highly recommend Tritek Tinting if you're in DFW

First off STG, great thread and great public service.

Second, has anyone put eyes on this car? Seems to have been for sale for a while now:

$79K for 20k miles, no PSE, SC or leather (doesn't look like it has SPASM either)...that seems pricey to me. Should go for $75 or less IMO.

 

This is my first post on "Hot for Sale", but I have been following this thread for several weeks. You guys are supplying great information! After 15 years, I am considering moving from my trusty old 996 to a base 991 with 7 speed manual. Does anyone have any information on this car?

I have been concentrating my search on CPO vehicles, but this one has almost two years of factory warranty left and is more favorably priced. The Carfax is peculiar, though. The very first entry is from Porsche of Omaha with over 10k miles on the odometer. Does anyone have any theories? Should I stay away?

Thanks for your help.

 

Welcome!

What is MSRP? Have a VIN#??

Previous owner most likely took it in for service for the first oil change at 10K miles. Not unusual. I believe in sooner first oil changes, but that's another story.

How does rest of carfax look? Didn't see a link.

I don't follow the base models very closely. Mostly stick with S/4S/GTS.

 

Thanks for the response! It looks like the MSRP was $102,185. VIN is WP0AA2A98DS107799, and the Carfax link is below:

The Carfax shows the first entry as an oil change at 10,478 at the original Porsche dealership, and the initial sale afterward with 11,413. Is it possible this was a demo/loaner, or am I completely misreading the situation? I was not aware that dealerships put that many miles on a demo/loaner car. Also, I just noticed that a new line item has been added to the Carfax for reprogramming "PCM" and "Computer". The strange thing is that the work was done at a BMW Mini dealership.

I realize the circumstances are odd enough that I should probably look elsewhere, but it is hard to ignore a car so close to my target configuration at what may be an attractive price (though I am not yet well-versed enough on 991 pricing to be sure). Also, there seems to be an opportunity for some self-eduction here. I have owned 4 911s over a twenty year period, and have never seen a history quite like this one.

 

STG and Co - first, let me say what an awesome thread this is. I've been lurking for the better part of a year and it's been enormously informative. I'm finally starting my 991 search in earnest.

Question: is it safe to assume that any car that gets sent to auction is probably not top tier? I work in the auto industry and have some fairly senior connections at Manheim who have offered to let me take a spin through any of their lots in case I find something to my liking. I've read here that most of the 911s that make it to auction are ones that dealers can't move though, so I'm wondering if this is even worth calling in the favor for.

For reference, I'm in the SF Bay Area and in the market for a C2S Cab. Strong preference for black (white is second choice), with PDK and Sport Chrono being the only must have options. Nice to haves include CPO, PSE, 14/18 way seats, Sport Design Steering Wheel, and Carrera S/Sport Techno wheels.

Here are some listings I've got my eye on currently:
- 2014 CPO black C2S cab with 9k miles, asking price $93k (vs MSRP $135k)
- 2013 CPO black C2S cab with 17k miles, asking price $84k (vs MSRP $129k)

Would like to keep purchase price under $90k.

 

Drew, I do not have the answer, but would like to thank you for asking, as I have the same question. There is a base 991 at Park Place Porsche in Texas with ~12k miles, being sold as a CPO and appears to be a great car (though at this point not a great deal); however, it came to them from the northeast via auction. I have the same impression regarding cars that come through auctions, but maybe I am wrong. This is definitely a learning process, at least for me, and this thread has been a great resource.
