First time posting here even though I have been following this thread and the forum for a while. Getting close to be ready to buy my first 911. Need a quick assessment from you 991 veterans. Saw a 2012 991S on sale by a dealer. High mileage 47k, CPO, $117 msrp, SC, and sport exhaust. What would you pay for this car? Thanks.

Welcome. I wouldn't pay more than $60K tops.
Knowing more details could drive that down a little bit.

Not too much to go on with condition, carfax, colors, etc. If it's not a Porsche dealer, the CPO doesn't pass through. Only transfers on private sale or if re-CPO'ed by a Porsche dealer.
To be safe, I'd say low $60's, assuming no cosmetic, mechanical, or carfax issues. Actually early 991S' with much lower mileage have transacted for low to mid 60's, so maybe even high $50's with the mileage.
It is a platinum silver. Here are the options. Decent package.
176 - Sport Exhaust System
1H - Platinum Silver Metallic
250 - Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
345 - Steering wheel heating
427 - 20-inch Carrera Classic wheel
446 - Wheel center caps with colored Porsche Crest
640 - Sport Chrono Package
651 - Electric sunroof
672 - Navigation Module
844 - Multi-function Steering Wheel
AG - Black standard interior
BASE - The new 911 Carrera S
P06 - Power Sport Seats (14-way)
P37 - BOSE Audio Package
P39 - Premium Package Plus

For anyone, not just PFBZ....
I know we've all been over this before, but does anyone have any factual information on how PCNA knows how a car traded hands in order to invalidate the CPO warranty?

Vehicle history reports like CarFax.
In they can find a way to get out of paying for a warranty claim, they will.
Just wanted to let you know about my new-to-me 2014 911 Carrera 4S.
Many thanks to STG and others for all their work in this thread. Without it, I would have never even considered a 911. But I'm awful glad I did .
Here is the build sheet:
I bought it from Porsche of Highland Park, IL (The Porsche Exchange). This was really serendipitous because my parents live in the area and were able to perform a preliminary Renncheck® for me.
My sales agent was Paul Michalczyk (pronounced me-HALL-check). He was always available to answer my questions, via phone, email, and text, helping me with all the extra logistics and elbow grease needed to buy a car long-distance. He even personally drove the car to the PPI facility. Along with his finance department, Paul was also able to get me a loan that slightly beat the terms that I had from Penfed, which was pretty impressive.
This is Paul with the car:
Speaking of PPIs, I had mine performed by Golz Motors of Deerfield, IL. It cost $200 and was everything I expected. Jeff Goelz knows his 911s and his shop is about 5 miles away from The Exchange.
The 1st owner used the car in Chicago, and so had the front bumper drilled to run a license plate, but I wasn't happy with the look, so on Paul's recommendation, I had the car sent to The Auto Art of Glenview, IL to have it filled and painted, over Labor Day weekend, no less!
[BEFORE]:
You'll be able to see down below that the work was flawless.
For transport, I obtained quotes from a number of different shippers, including:
* Intercity
* Reliable
* Angels Moving Autos
* Thomas Sunday
* Horseless Carriage
* Plycar
Most quotes were very close and competitive with each other, though there was one (who shall remain nameless) that was $500 more than the others. They all have generally great reputations on the interwebs, and so I went with the one that fit my schedule best - Plycar.
Husband-and-wife team Dean & Paula of Plycar did a great job. Paula has had her CDL for over 30 years and knows a thing or two about big-rig trucking.
Here's some additional cool swag that Paul also sent my way:
Some more pics:
Anyway, the car is chuffing magic. I am now happy as a clam . If you're thinking about a car located at Porsche of Highland Park, please give Paul a call:
PS: Just for fun, here are a few photos of a totally awesome 911R in paint-to-sample Lava Orange that I saw while I was in the Highland Park showroom:

I just picked up a similar car with 41k miles and a few more options for $56.9k, but it was the least expensive 991 C2S on the Porsche locator, and similarly equipped/mileage cars were listed for about $10k more.
The $60k area is probably a good deal if you really like the car, and it is local.
Do not take it for a test drive unless you are ready to pull the trigger; it will just make you hate your current car
