Now this is a very nice car. Aero Kit and matching yellow bits inside. Not an S model but decent price, low mileage and nice color.

I like that Carrera but especially for a pre .2 it has to be an S. I will track the car occasionally.
That price for a .2 S is amazing. I've seen low $70's with over 30k miles.
There is 1.9% financing on 09 CPO cars it seems which helps.

Just an update:
Thanks to RazrPorsche for the great assessment and pictures on the car.
I did have it shipped to LA.
Incidentally they had a similar car with more mileage to compare to.
It was very clean interior compared to the beat up interior of the 2nd car with more miles.
I bought the car to take it for PPI and look for extent of damage from the accident record. While looking at the manuals I found the previous owners info and called him.
It was great since he was honest since the car was sold. We talked for 2 hours. The accident was a fender bender in a parking lot that caused $3,900 worth of damage to bumper, right taillight, and other non engine parts.
He gave me the number of the shop who will send me the work order list with parts replaced.
I did take it to Indy and other than minor things the rear main seal is leaking, which is a warranty fix(at dealer now getting done).
It did have a few DME events in the higher range and owner said at 12k miles a friend had him try the car at the track.
Indy was very helpful and said it was not huge issue and I have the Carmax warranty for 6 yr/100k miles.
I got out with $60k out the door and that was hard with and .2 cars I looked at near the colors and options I predferred.
Car was a daily driver so it does need some washing and waxing and removal of the clear bra. Which is fine since under it is nice paint.
I have another day to return the car, but I think I'm keeping it. At $53k I think it was a ok price even though I have not seen any 08 .1 S cars for under $60, which out the door is $70.
Thanks for the help and insight.
