2012 *Porsche* *911* Carrera 4 GTS

At 42k miles... a deal? Build sheet does not indicate a '4' however.

It's not a 4 GTS or the build sheet would show it....

Dealer website indicates this car is sold.

Seems very odd that it is not a CPO.

Wow, that's a steal even if it's a RWD GTS.

42k miles, GTS, 6 speed, $49,500....

Too good to be true.

quiverkiller

no matter. I called and it's sold.

It does seem odd it's not CPO.....Like DougH suggested, the car must need a lot of wear items replaced. Maybe they did math the and figured it would be easier to discount the car and sell it non-CPO.

I think i could live with the natural red leather in this case
But wow, $92K. We're in 997.2 6MT turbo territory.

Wife worked a for a Sonic store and they will almost always certify if the wear items are within spec. There is a matrix they use and it is a fairly objective process. Dealers make money off the certification and then they know the car will come back in to them for service and repairs which is where they make their money.

I can understand the dealers generating service revenue on the back end, but why are they incentivized to CPO the cars up front? Is it a big picture marketing move to help the brand retain resale value?

Seeking opinions.

Considering a 3 pedal, 2006-2009 Carrera S cab as a part-time daily / family weekender (have small kids that would fit in the back seats).

Relatively comparable miles, price range and packages. Partial to the black with tan combination.

Would prefer private party, if anyone knows of something available.

Thanks for the help!

I think you can wait and find a better deal if you are going to do a 997.1

You should be able to get one with under 40,000 miles for right around 40k
