Just 09 Base Cab with ton of options 40K
I just get a base cab with all the options for 40K, including 10K HRE wheels. 59K miles. I've lowered it, put new tires (not needed) and had my wheels powder coated. spent 600 for all that. love the car now, BTW the base car is plenty fast. PDK is awesome, especially in sport plus mode.

Located a CPO car with low miles, please see link below, I'd love to hear any input. The car appears well equipped and they have negotiated a better price than the ad already but your input to a fair market value would be greatly appreciated. All service records are documented for this vehicle as well.

Sounds exactly what you are looking for. Low mileage but a bit high price sort of justified by CPO. Last car I had was a BMW 335i CPO and I bought the extended service policy also. I could not get out of the dealership for less than $1k a trip still. I know, Porsche is not BMW.
I decided this time to roll the dice and forget the CPO. That CPO is about a $5k+ bump. After much research I figured the '09 and later is solid enough I'd forego. The IMS is history.
For comparison my '09 S was second owner with 44k miles, just came off CPO. Only option didn't have was crest on the headrest. Also had $9k in mods I would have done plus a few had not though of. I paid a bit less than the ask on that cab. If not comfy, then spend on the CPO car. This is your first P car, this is my 7th. I'm also old and set in my ways.
