Is this a motley history?

Taycan sold in (1) Porsche of Plano Texas. Then to (2) auto auction at Atlanta Autos (Marietta, Georgia) then to (3) "ABC" Pre-Owned SuperCenter "Some City", Florida, then to (4) a GM dealership Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas.
Finally (5) CPO
Porsche xxx, Florida.

Carfax says one owner. If it was sold at least three times over, how can it be a one owner?

I am not listing VIN number etc.Don’t want the dealership breathing down my neck. I would like opinions if this is a motley history/possible scenarios. Thank you.

Because it was "only" registered once...Dealerships don't count as "owners", unless the car gets registered.
Think of dealership loaner cars: if you buy one "used", you'd be the 1st owner of it

Thank you. Even as a loaner car at dealership, TX, AR, GA, FL isn't that unusual?

Anyways, the dealership is not answering me. Done deal I guess.

Thanks again.

I’ve seen long histories for cars that get traded in, but that chain of ownership seems surprising for a Taycan!
I’m also looking right now at a 4CT that somehow was sold directly by its owner to a Kiundai dealer (which is incapable of providing the window sticker or build sheet).

I agree about the spotty history.

Can you imagine that… trading a Porsche for a Kia!

BYW, dealer can provide the window sticker. Monroney Label
