Default Torn between 2 2009 911Ss

MN blue over brown on 19s which won't get swithced vs. estoril blue with painted center interior to match with medium gray on which they will swap to 18s for me. Estoril is independent McLean Va. dealer, MN blue is Cinci Porsche dealer. Price/milage basically same at $60 K and 43 K miles

lots of miles, and likely out of warranty - I'd pass on both

Mclean car is a member here. The other car was looked at by a member here and the interior turned out to be "tired"

Dude, you're gonna have to decide for yourself. Very little that you gave us can be objectively judged. No one can unequivocally say midnight blue is better than estoril or gray is better than brown. You did mention one is from a dealer....if that one is CPO I'd give the edge to it.

Or if you are unsure on both, wait for the right one, if you can.

I almost bought the one in Cinci 11 months ago for $57.5.

Long history on car, i never saw it, was doing deal over internet and was going to fly out to see it when they sold it to the Cinci dealer on the day the rep i was working with was off. Glad i "missed out" since it hasn't sold there must be something wrong, i have been tracking that car since it showed up in Cinci.

Car was turned in off lease to Porsche Santa Barbara around Oct/Nov 2011 if I remember correctly, i was in final negotiations in May of 2012 for it and they sold it to Cinci where it showed up in June 2012 with Zero Autocheck history of ever being on market in Santa Barbara (i no lnger trust Autocheck at all after seeing how a dealer can delete history).

Since showing up in Cinci the car has dropped about $14k in list price. If i had to guess they bought it for under $55k. They replaced the Hankooks with new N-rated tires and CPOed it as well. Santa Barbara offered to CPO it for me for $2.5k + tire cost so you can get an idea of the cost they are in it for.

Knowing the history of the car i would now steer clear of it. There are better options out there. Good luck with your search,
