I'm sure that particular car is driven all day long, 7 days a week. Maybe they sell at 10k miles or so, but they have been DRIVEN for 10k miles. So anyone buying what they think is a low mile, pampered CPO car might want to think carefully. That said, the cars are robust, and most wear and tear is on tires and brakes, which clearly are replaced quite often on the Porsche Experience Center fleet, and presumably by a dealer ultimately selling one of these cars as CPO. You do have a warranty, but the warranty does not prevent hassles, and non-use of car as its being repaired.

I'd only buy at an attractive price, and with my eyes open. Nothing goes faster, turns faster and stops faster than a rental car (or a "press vehicle").
