Well, if we are going to start talking about 2012.5 cars, I found the following in Santa Barbara. Unlike the Chevy Hendrick car, it has a CPO but, of course, more miles (27,617). Asking price is $66,850. I checked the vin and the original MSRP was $120,020. So, basically, you are trading 18,000 more miles for two years of CPO peace of mind:

Somewhat surprisingly, it was the interior color (Espresso) she objected to.

Platinum C2S has black interior.

It's a launch car and no difference between this and a similar optioned 2015.

I meant compared with the Chevy Hendrick car. Which one would be a better deal, more miles but with CPO?

With a huge $1K price reduction during that time. For the same reason they mispriced this one, its worth keeping an eye on CMax in case the misprice a loaded one (that is not Lime a Green!).

That's a nicely equipped car and a pretty reasonable price. If only it were a 7 MT.
It's cheaper to start with than the Hendrick car and has CPO. I think I'd lean towards this one for the warranty peace of mind, lower transport cost and likely a few grand in savings.

I have that one on my saved list... It's gone under reservation (become 'not available') twice and come back on the market twice. Maybe somebody just couldn't come up with the funds, or maybe there are some cosmetic issues once they got eyes on the car.

I checked out yet another (different) carmax car last week. Great in pictures, but when I had somebody go out and look it over carefully and snap some pictures while I was on the phone, several semi-deep scratches in the paint beyond what I was willing to accept...

New to the forum. First post over in the 997 forum regarding a 997.2 4S. Long story short, I drove a 991.1 C4 instead and loved it. I noticed this on the Porsche pre-owned locator and was wondering if it's HFS worthy. Thoughts? I'm guessing the condition might be rough because it's below KBB for a CPO...listed at 65k on the Porsche site but 69k on the dealer site.

Welcome to HFS. I'd definitely be looking at 991.1's as prices on the lower end overlap with 997.2's quite a bit. You set on an AWD 4S or C4?? Manual or PDK?

To make it easier for guys to access I posted info.

33K miles, for a 2013 base model, I'd have to look at the comps. My gut feeling is that one can find a better deal with a lot less miles.

I don't follow them daily like the S/4S/GTS models.

I had mentioned this Silver 2012 in Cary NC about a week and a half ago. I looked at it 3 days in a row and almost bought it. I posted some thoughts then

As someone who is relatively new to Porsche's I though it was very nice and had been well maintained until it sat on the chevy lot under trees for a month or so. There were pine needles and leaves under every crevice just like the engine bay. It drove well and paint looked great despite car being dirty.

When I sighted down the door panels from the end (makes any waviness look obvious) the tops were not completely flat where they met the glass. This could not be seen easily just by looking at the door panel from the inside and didn't bother me other then making me worry it would get worse in the future. The interior rubber gasket that sat inside the glass was folded under the door panel in places. There was SLIGHTLY more corrosion that I had seen on other cars on things like bolts in the door jam where tools had contacted them. I assume this was from the recent month outside

The car does have a CPO sticker in the drivers side door jam which MAY survive the Chevy dealer sale?

The build sheet didn't show "Premium Package" or "Entry and Drive" but the car DOES have doors that open when you push a button on the outside of the door handle with keys in pocket, the dummy key that stays in ignition, and a Frunk that opens with touching it if the key is in your pocket. I assume that was some option package bundled with the 18 ways.

I would be happy to take some high quality photos if someone wants to see something in particular. I live 5 miles away. I'd be happy to see it go to a good home despite them playing some games with me.

When the car was $73k I had offered $67.5, they said $70.5, They then said $70.0,with a "Hendrick 10 year (from new)" power train warranty and POSSIBLY a Hendrick 1 year bumper to bumper warranty which may or may not have covered wavy door panels if they got worse (salesman couldn't tell me and I didn't see it in the paperwork. I said $69k with their warranty and assumed we would get together in price when we met that afternoon. They then called and said there was other interest in the car but it was mine if I wanted it. I drove down there strongly considering paying their $70 and while I was there they said $71.5 because of other interest (or $70 without the Hendrick warranty). I didn't like the price being raised and was unsure of the door panels so I didn't buy it for more then $70. I wrote a negative review of them on google and on this thread.

They did call back a week later and apologize and offer to sell it to me for $70.0 with the Hendrick warranty. Probably because the other interest didn't pan out. Tony my salesman was good to deal with except for the price going up.

Thanks STG. I agree with you on lower 991.1 overlapping higher 997.2. I'm focused on AWD because I'm moving to the Midwest and want to DD it, and I'm focused on manuals because I'm a "manual guy" for lack of a better term.

I'm afraid 991.1 C4S are just out of reach. I've seen a couple with 30-40k miles in the $80k range, but most are way higher. The low-mileage, CPO C4 market seems to be around 75-85 based on what's currently out there, but maybe I need to be more patient and not focused on CPO...still researching.

STG

Thanks for the refresh. So, is this possibly still on your radar for consideration?
