I’m completely torn between these two cars and would appreciate any and all feedback. Both cars are essentially the same price. Option 1 has the paddle shifters which I love and much prefer, however, it has 12 months less warranty than option 2. The other main difference in the two cars is that option 1 has dynamic chassis control and Option 2 has full leather. To complicate this even further, I can pay an additional $2k for option 1 to have the dealer certify the car and make it a CPO so that I would 56 months of warranty remaining, however, I’ve never owned a car longer than 3 years so not sure that would be money well spent.

Number 1 IMHO. Very low miles vs. not out of break in. Enough warrantee to cover you, sports wheel and PDCC. Drive it in good health!

 

option 2, lower miles and right in your backyard. no worry on getting the one back to LA from Illinois

 

What is the approximate price on them?

 

Both cars have an MSRP of around $136k and are asking $109k.

 

I'd take Option 1 as you probably could get CPO extended warranty and a little more well equipped. The mileage difference is not a real issue with CPO which would add 24months to the warranty. That's not available from a non Porsche dealer.
