1st time buyer

Hello, I'm the new kid on the block and I'm looking for feed back. I'm looking at a 911 Carrera S Cabriolet 2015 with 70,000.
With that mileage, the car lists for $70,000.00. I've done as much reading as possible. I don't think that mileage is that bad, they have extensive service records and I'm getting a PPI that will include a compression test.
I thought that the PPI, would eliminate any concerns? I would appreciate any feed back,
Trying to cover every bases, thanks for your time!

It will certainly help give a clearer picture of the car and condition but as I'm sure you know, a 6 y/o vehicle with 70,000 miles could need a major repair at any time even with good maintenance. In your situation I would proceed with a clean PPI and a reserve for repairs that I would contribute to each month as part of the cost of enjoyment. May not need it, but it would be nice to have just in case. Essentially, self insured repair fund. Good luck with your decision and enjoy!

I only have 22k on my 2012.5 and I am so ashamed...
Forgive my sins, but I can't drive it while sitting on a plane.

Thats a lot of miles for that price. (my opinion) Typically 991's don't have engine issues and the PDK transmission is amazingly solid, its the little things that add up. Just remember, if you can afford the maintenance, you can't afford the car.

Best of Luck!
