The second one, cpe looks ok, do a carfax. Personally, I don't go for cabs.
It's a great car, you won't be disappointed.
You clearly want an C4S, so go for it. Sell yours to a pvt buyer and get the best one available from a p-dealer.

PAR is an establisher dealer. But neither list the options . You need to call 800porsche and trace the cars options and history with the vin. Then try to see what info their selling dealers can give.

The prices listed for both cars are high enough that they should be Porsche certified and have the extended warranty.
