I bought my 09 C4S with 72k on the odo in 2018 for just a tick below that. Price is solid if the car is worthy but as others have said, get a PPI done by a good Porsche mechanic, preferably an independent. Also as others have said, bore scoring is far less of an issue on .2 cars. Take a look at the poll and you will see.

that's a good price for a .2 C4S even with the PDK discount (the comment that will launch 1000 replies!)! Mine is just a base but is 6MT!

I bought my 2009 C2 6MT w/ 40k miles on the clock for $39k in 2020 from a private seller on PCA Mart.

Got the car PPI’d and it came back clean except for two minor issues.

Karma shined its light on me. Had been looking for 3 months on the usual sites, then I got an issue of the PCA Magazine Panorama in the mail on a Monday afternoon, flipped through and remembered they had classifieds.

Went to the PCA Mart online, car had literally been posted hours before.

Called the guy, got a PPI and the car was on a truck headed to me by Thursday.

I got it a few days later, a nicer Silver Porsche was in the car carrier. Was hoping they would make a mistake.
