This car has been on both Autotrader and Cars.com for awhile (which is how i originally found it). At least one of those sites had the link to the carfax report, so double check me on the exact timing.

LiveNupe's 40th for sale on rennlist sounds like it's in better overall condition with more options (no Bose on the one at Hoffman), though it's on the left coast.

Hoffman Porsche performed a PPI for the car I bought and did a very thorough job. I have had no suprises. If you are in the market for a 40th... I would also seriously consider Reggie's car mentioned above . It's in your posted price range and he's posted lots of info .GL

Interesting response from seller as this has been off and on ebay for months with never any bidders that I have seen. Either there are a lot of buyers all of the sudden or he doesn't need to sell and is just holding out for someone who will pay a premium for a low mile car.

That car has very low mileage and is in perfect condition. I think he can get top $ ($45-50K).

this car is on consignment and will have the Porsche CPO transferred with the sale. Looks to have all available options. i was told by the dealer that the car is currently on its 5th owner. That concerns me, should it?

$47k
10k miles

5 owners might worry me if the car has moved all over the US otherwise I'm not sure it would be a concern. What do you like more about this one than the Texascarsdirect car?

The car is on consignment. This is the response from the dealer selling the car:

I spoke with the Porsche dealer that sold this car last and he believes that there was only one previous owner and that Porsche of Fremont sold it new. What he explained to me is the car was a lease and the first owner moved across states. Every time he registered the car in another state it looked like a new owner on the carfax. When he bought the lease out that was yet another mark on the report.

I am waiting on a response from TexasCarsDirect. Last time I talked to them, they did not have any details on the car. I want to know service history, options, etc.
