Hard to tell for sure with the car being wet, and maybe it has a clear bra distorting it, but the front trunk lid seems to be a different shade of white...

I would hold out for lower miles at this price (or lower price if you really want this car).

Funny that the dealers never have a paint measuring tool when they are selling the car but it is the first thing they pull out when taking your car in for a trade!!!!

If the car passes the paint test, and passes the CPO, buy it!!! Negotiate the price, get them to change the fluids, do repaint those wheel and enjoy.

They will have a paint meter on hand... But I dont think I have much negotiation room...

My White '07 GT3 has 14K miles, Nav, Xenon, PCCB and I would consider selling it to move into a 2010. Car needs absolutely nothing and is often mistaken for New. I bought it pre-owned with a clean Carfax and had my Porsche Dealer check the DME to confirm no over revs. It won't be as cheap as the other car you are looking at but sometimes $10K more buys you a car twice as nice.

^^ I would pay more for Einmalig's. It's unmolested and has your PCCBs. Wheels don't need repainting. A six year old GT3 with 14K miles has most all the bugs worked out and IMO negates the advantages of paying extra for a CPO.

^this
I'd go with Einmalig's. You won't regret buying an unmolested, clean car for a few $ more. Plus you can get into it now.

Ditto, on a RL'ers car.

VW factory warranty (even before CPO takes over) only seems to cover interior bits, in my experience. It hasn't covered my RS's LSD, RS wing clear failure, TPC system - or much of anything on my CR.

IMO, you're better off getting the car you want from someone that has taken good care of it.
