Thank you for your suggestion regarding Paul Miller. They are about 2 hours away but I do see some pretty decent deals there at times. I will definitely keep my eye on them going forward.
Agreed!
And put Main Line on your radar as well if they are not already. They have fast moving inventory, good prices and an eagerness to deal. I can introduce you to my guy over there if you need it.

Yup! I love Main Line! That's where my test drives happened. The CA was very accommodating for my first ever Porsche test drive. I check their inventory daily and would happily give them my business if the deal was right.
Thanks again for all the recommendations; seriously appreciate it!
It looks like what we want but carfax shows first transaction was from Felix Chervolet and it was leased ? How is it possible? If this is normal, what should I offer for this car? CPO 2014 20 kmile Carrera, mrsp was 101, 300. It's new inventory so they won't be flexible, I assume.
Thx

Reason: add
It might be that whomever owns felix chev also owns the/a porsche dealer as well. Most of these dealers own many brands and i've seen other carfaxes where this is the case. I'm sure whoever has it for sale can answer the question.
You are correct. Just googled and both are part of Downtown LA Auto Group http://www.dtlamotors.com/ So what should be a good or fair price for this car?

Offer $65K and hope for $66-67K
I'd want at least $2K off asking. Not sure what condition it's in??
A very nice 991S model can be had in the $70-80K range these days!
I really wish that there were objective evidence to demonstrate this. Maybe my definition of "very nice" differs (i think a $75K car should have heated seats, as a minimum). Or maybe my corner of the country is simply more expensive. But there are no CPO 991 C2S below $80k within 500 miles that don't throw a red flag upon closer inspection. And the difference between what $78k and $83k will buy is currently huge, for a 991.1S.
As always, caveat emptor. I'd really like to purchase what folks here would consider a "hot buy" - but I don't see it happening in SoCal with the current inventory trends (a trailing 3 month view of the 911 market from a serial sports car owner).

I don't think there's any question that confining yourself to a non-national search radius - and SoCal at that - is greatly going to limit your options. You pretty much need to be willing to search USA-wide, or be prepared to wait a long long time, or be willing to compromise on trim/color/options.
That being said, I found this C2S at Porsche of Miramar.

Pretty much all of CA is $$$$. All the way up to Seattle. Harder to find decent deals.
Like I've mentioned, you have to make the whole US your shopping ground. Shipping a car coast to coast enclosed transport is like $2K. Worth it obviously for the right car and deal. There are more to choose from in the $80K's obviously.
Also depends on how specific your "wish list" is. If you're too specific, you'll have to pay more for the right car.
