Default What to expect: used 2021

In my quest for a replacement Taycan, I came across a CPO 2021 Taycan. 12,625 miles. All (six) service done at the dealership. CPO last week.

Checks off all the tick boxes (for me) including price. Also Porsche InnoDrive w/ACC & ALK. Premium pkg.

And of course the must have : Under Door Puddle Light Projectors $330. Porsche charges $330 for a $2 LED.

Anything else that comes to mind that I should check?

Why did it need 6 service visits in 12K miles?!

Good question. No answer other than maybe because he worked for the dealership? I've attached the Carfax.

Sounds like it had the AC issue (3 o rings let go and the AC blows hot and a known issue), had a tire issue, and had the Porsche charger speed cut in half. Funny that it does not mention the big uPDate. Does it have color icons on the PCM? If so, then it received the major update that came out in July 2022 which really fixed many of the little gremlins.

The deal fell through. It was not meant to be. Thanks for the tips on the updates. I was a little uncomfortable with all the service visits, you helped me decide. Again, thank you!
