Just wanted some opinions about buying a NEW Porsche Carrera 911 from a Porsche Dealer. The price range I am looking at is around $95-100k. The few I have seen NEW at Porsche dealers have anywhere between 11-150 miles. Any idea if I should be getting a better deal if it has over 100 miles? Or does it just not matter up until a certain mileage? (say 200, 300, 500 miles?). Thanks.

 

~30 miles on mine when I took delivery. Anything over 50 and I'd be nervous about the potential risk of the car being used for test drives.

 

You're not getting a better deal for 100 miles. 1,000 yes, but not 100. I'd not be concerned in the least. I think mind had around 85 miles on it when I bought it off the lot as a new 2014. No biggie.

 

12 on mine, custom order, picked up 1 day after arriving at dealer.

 

8 on mine, custom order as well. I also wouldn't worry too much about mileage up to 100 or so… If it is a big deal, simple, order it and wait.

 

I think finding the right car is the most important aspect verses ten or hundred miles.

Silvertige looking at your info. I see Carlsbad as your location, If I may ask where do you service your car?

 

Mr. "Wanderfalke" makes a good point.

These cars will have 4-20 miles on them from being transported, driven onto the ship, PDI, etc. and anything past that is likely test drives. If you are one of those people who believe that the first few "break-in" miles are incredibly important and you plan to keep the car forever, then yes, a 100 miles is a big deal. Otherwise, no, don't sweat it.

If you find the car you want and you are concerned about how it was driven on those test miles, have the service department run a report on the DME (?) which will show how often the car was in the higher RPM ranges. I think it's the DME. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

OK, I digressed a bit. Will 100+ miles help you in negotiating a better price? Sure, why not? Lots of OCD ****-obsessed Porsche owners (such as myself) will prefer a car with little to no miles of test drives, and so a car with some miles should be discounted more to reflect that. The reality is that it depends on the car, how long it's been there, time of the year, incentives to the dealer, making their monthly goals, etc. as to what kind of deal you get.

 

G, if it really matters to you order your spec. I wouldn't worry about it, most test drives aren't too aggressive, the dealers aren't letting kids take them.

 

Not an issue (to me) anything under a couple hundred miles or a bit more. My 2013 with 13000 miles from an engine/transmission standpoint has been flawless. I leased the car and it had 250 miles on it. Yes, some were test drives, including me when they gave me the car for an afternoon. I put 30 or so miles on it and def didn't kill it but revd it out past break in. No big deal. Lease is up in June and someone is going to get a great car.

 

Mine had 7 miles on it.

 

~25 miles here. I've seen them up to around 250 miles and alleged to have been on no test drives. I wouldn't think twice about anything under 200.

 

My 2014 Carrera 991 had 128 miles on the odometer when I took delivery. The car was discounted $9,000 because it was the last 2014 Carrera on the lot and not because it had over 100 miles on the odometer.

 

Just got my car and planning on doing a break in oil change soon, serviced at my house… I'm planning on having warranty work (hopefully not many trips)with the dealer and out of warranty repair and normal service at an independent Porsche place. Not sure where yet. I plan on checking with PCA San Diego.

 

My new car had 33 km on the clock, which is normal.
More than 150 miles ? That doesn't sound like a new car to me ! That car probably has been around the block a few time for testdrives.

 

Mine had 7km (picked up at the factory, though).
