One owner, clean CarFax, and CPO is all great news. Manual too which isn't easy to find. If the car checked out in person cosmetically I'd have no issue going for it.
Manual is definitely difficult. I spent yesterday looking over manuals in Autotrader with few other criteria, trying to get a better feel for what I did and did not want. There are a lot of manuals out there, but the field gets very narrow if you add many more criteria.
I did float the idea with my wife of upgrading her car, but she's just plain in love with her Cayman. She likes the size and the mid-engine design, and she doesn't feel the need for any more power.
EDIT: Appears I spoke too soon. I sent her the link to the car, and apparently the actual car is more interesting to her than a hypothetical.
I'm thinking about it, actually. But part of that is asking here first. I'd like to know if it's a good price.
Virginia isn't that far, I drive to VA once a year, usually.
I don't see it replacing my C4S cab. Yes, I want a manual, and yes, I like Racing Yellow, but my wife's Cayman S is racing yellow, and I don't really want two RY cars in the garage.
That, and I'd like at least one of them to be AWD. Last year we got stuck on I95 in a snowstorm in her Cayman, and had a lot of wheel-spinning and sliding despite snow tires. We pulled off at a motel instead of continuing, and couldn't get up a very slight incline to the motel! We found another way, but the episode was instructive.
So, I'm halfway considering trying to convince my wife to trade her Cayman in for this. It'd be a more direct upgrade for her, she'd get a convertible (which she likes), and I'd get to drive it in any conditions that didn't merit AWD.
It's entirely possible it might not fly despite that because she really loves her Cayman.
If that's the dealer I think it is in Northern VA, best of luck to you.

"Buy back Lemon Law due to a cam positioning sensor that was fixed and warrantied by Porsche"
So this car was "lemoned". Thoughts on that? I don't see Porsche buying back a car becuase the Cam Pos Sensor had to be replaced. There must be more to it.

No way would I pay "retail" price for a lemon law car. From what I have seen, lemon law cars seem to sell for 10-20% less than normal pricing.

The Curse of Carfax...
Really doesn't matter what the issue is, how severe, how well repaired, whose fault, how long ago, etc.
If there is a carfax blem, be it an accident, theft, buyback, odometer discrepancy, whatever, there is always some explaining to do on the sale side and almost always a notable price impact.
