In hopes of sharing the Porsche experience with my entire family (wife and child) I've been thinking of upgrading to a used 997S. I have a lot of fun with the Cayman S but I'm starting to miss having a back seat. Over the last month or so of searching online I keep noticing a near 30,000 mile CPO 05 997S that has an asking price of about $69k. Major options on this car are sports chrono, sports exhaust, and adaptive seats. Is it just me or is this way too much to ask for a car with this mileage? What would be a fair price? Also, as I look at 05 cars with 20,000 miles plus should I consider CPO to be mandatory or should I save myself some cash by not worrying about long term problems?
