A good friend of mine who deals in preowned Porsches told me that every mile is worth $1. So a car with 25k miles should sell for 20-25k less than one with low mileage.
Which is bonkers because there is practically no difference between the cars otherwise. Best to buy the highest mileage nicely maintained car due to all this nonsense with cost per mile.
Considering a CPO with 25k miles on it. Is that a lot of miles for a TTS and is it something to worry about? Best case scenario it was driven normally, worst case it was driven hard. What will it do to resale value after I put another 25k miles on it?
Why are you checking over rev on a PDK car? How the hell do you over rev an automatic? It has a rev limiter…
Most tuners increase redline a bit on the turbos… this isn’t a manual 9000rpm redline GT3, what am I missing?
There’s nothing wrong with checking it. As you said, a tuner could modify the redline, and it’s worth knowing if that was done if someone wants a car that wasn’t modded.
TTSs are weird beasts. Even within the Porsche lineup. A good percentage of TTS buyers want the "best/fastest/___est supercar now"... and then when they get bored or something "better/faster/____er" comes along... they flip out of the car without a concern for what their sales price is. They just want the latest shiny object. No other Porsche car has this paradigm with its owners. Not the GT cars, not the base cars, not the GTS cars, cup cars, nada. Not even the Turbo. e.g. Even people who buy Turbos usually did so specifically for a reason... and keep them/drive the for a while. TTS resale/used values tend to be on the lowest end of P cars as a result. We live in a brave new world, so will see how this history holds up. TTS owners ALONE control resale prices. Period.
My $.02? Porsches - and the TTS in particular - are "bullet proof." These cars are solid. I expect to drive my for 300K miles (have 9k on my 2023 now and use it as a daily driver and it will see track days too). In the end - what do you have in mind for the car? What kind of TTS owner are you going to be? Me? I am going toes up with my car. Do not care about resale value, could care less when the next shiny object comes along to replace it, or when Kia's 2025 entry level electric family hauler kicks its @$$ in the 1/4 mile, etc. In this regard, if I were you - I would get the best deal I can on a good CPO TTS that has a spec I like... and then drive the daylights out of it and never look back.

100% AGREE. Why save the miles for the other guy???????? I spent 259K (Plus Tax/Reg) for my TTS and I don't plan on "saving the miles" for when I sell it. I am driving it and will continue.
@Shogunade 25k well-maintained miles is NOTHING for a TTS. I just purchased a '21 with 32k miles, I got a call from a GM at a Porsche dealer who I always buy my cars from and he told me they took this in on trade, so it never hit the market, thankfully lol They CPO'd it and completed the 40k mile service and added new tires. I got a PPI done and all that came back was some minor wear on driver side, barely no wear on any of the other seats. Some minor wear on driver side door, nothing really noticeable. No leaks, no loss of power no nothing, car runs and is perfect.
Other than that car is immaculate. MSRP was $245k, I paid a lot less than that, well worth it with the CPO. These cars are made to have miles put on them, there's a guy in the UK I believe that has 600K killometers on a 996 or 997 turbo, that tells you something.
If you like it, get PPI done, get full history on car and don't look back, you'll love the car, but you'll love the money you saved even more. At least yours is CPO as well. Btw I also had a 991.2 GT3RS with 24k+ miles when I sold her and she ran incredibly strong whilst it had been tracked a many times.
