FYI-Porsche dealers are buying these cars for over original MSRP at auction for their inventory. GL with search.

I saw ad the other day. It seems pretty close to your ask spec.

 

that car has sat for 2-3 months now. Started off around $130K. Not sure what’s up with it other than having had 5-6 previous owners. CarFax is clean IIRC.

Curious: is my budget realistic? I see some around that price range but usually in manual.

 

my opinion, that money would be more realistic for a sub 20k mile '20-'21 or a higher mileage '22-'23. All the same cars, so does it have to be a '22-23 model for you? Manuals tend to demand more $ than pdk and with the Spyder RS being PDK only, I think this has become more of a compelling reason for the "regular" Spyder in manual. Price expectation should be possible, but maybe not on one with carbons, ceramics, pdls+ and 1-2 years old. Stock market just took a major dump, so who knows!

 

ah, forgot I had marked it as MY22+. Open to MY20+. I suspect with the economy being shaky and upcoming Fall/Winter season, prices should come down to this range. While I don’t like paying over original sticker on a used car, the market seems to command such. With that said, it has to be close to msrp. Just a personal preference/principle.

i saw that one. It doesn’t have the 18-way seats or the extended leather interior that are must-haves for me. It looks to be a pretty basic build.

Bump - local cars preferred

 

Why didn't you pick up the North Houston one? It was just the right spec, and last time I looked at it, they reduced to $112K?

 

i couldn’t find anyone to do mobile PPI, and the dealer didn’t allow for anyone to take the car to a local shop for inspection. I’m in California so PPI is crucial for me, even if it’s CPOed. The number of previous owners scared me a bit as well, but I was open to it.

 

I came very close on a car that was sold by a member here to Porsche Plano. They ended up giving me the runaround for a few weeks. Forum member/previous owner tried to help and facilitate and it didn’t lead anywhere. They ended up having the car for 6 weeks, lowered it to $122K, and by the time the GM caught wind of the situation and reached out to me as I filed a complaint with Porsche NA (took 4 weeks before anyone reached out), the car was sold the previous day. That was about 3 weeks ago.

since then, there’s been a few locals that were asking for over original sticker but ultimately sold it to dealers for less. lol
