not bad, see if the car is or can get CPO, if so tell them 42, and they have a deal, the car looks clean though, and the wheel set up is pretty good as well..... I say its a go....

Thanks, I am going to try and get an INDY PPI. If the guy doesnt go for it I will have some concerns. Also, is it odd that an '06 has had 3 owners?

It's not odd at all to have had 3 owners at all, especially an 06. Some porches owners do not keep these cars for more than a year and trade their cars for the newest and greatest. I do not see anything wrong with it. Now make sure you check the type of service done to the car through out the years. This might give you an indication his the car has been maintained. Good luck.

Car is listed as a 3.8 litre but does not appear to be an S so more likely to be a 3.6 litre. Tiptronic is going to continue to take a big hit with the popularity of the PDK set up.

If this is the ultimate car you're looking for then buy and don't look back. If you plan on selling in a couple years the Tiptronic will likely make it difficult to get rid of without taking a large bath.
