$5k iin costs for them isn't unusual WHEN the car had major service items coming due and/or new tires. But this car is too new for all of that. I'd agree that around $3k is the norm for just the CPO and inspection. I've heard this multiple times and experienced it once.
About four years ago $3k was the discount on the table with a Carrera I was buying if I passed on the CPO, so maybe it would be a little more now... but not $5k unless they can explain a lot of service work to CPO it. My dealer has shown me all of the costs and paperwork for the CPO prep when I've asked for it. I'd ask them to qualify how they get to $5k with such a new car. I did buy the CPO though. If you think you'll trade the car in before the original warranty expires then you can skip it.

Well, I did it! $95,500 with the CPO. Couldn't get them lower, but I'm happy. Picking it up this Saturday. Thank you all for your help. Looking forward to being a part of this community.

Based on the the recent test reviews, the base C2 is so capable now that the justification for going to the S (beyond image) is much less. My guess is that's why the base no longer has the option for SPASM or PTV as it did with the 991.1.
