Is 27K too many miles on a 2005 TurboS?

Hi Guys,
As usual I am turning into the wisdom of the forum. I have located a 2005 TurboS coupe with 27K miles from Park Place Porsche in TX ( I will need to bring her over to San Diego).

The car is CPO however, as the title says has 27K miles on it. I am negotiating real hard to get a good deal but, I am kind of concern about the high mileage. Should I?

All comments most welcome, BTW the CPO runs out on 3/21/2011.

Thanks,
-Arman

No, if properly taken care of, it's not too many miles.

Thanks for the quick reply. Off top your head, what do you think the car is worth? it is 6 speed, speed yellow with yellow interior color stuff.

I am doing my best to negotiate w/ the dealer, but bear in mind it is a CPO.

So here comes the next set of questions, what to look for ?

I am thinking I gotta try the second gear pop out issue, anything else comes to mind?

Thanks

27k too many miles??? No.

127k? A bit high.

People get too wound up over mileage on cars. They were meant to be driven, not left in a garage.

Luis, 60K???

Cleve admitted that he was absolutely blowing out his 2005 turbo S with
way more miles at $59K. that was a ridiculous price. That does not set the new
standard for what a price should be.

The car above would be a deal at $70k. It is a Turbo S!
PCCB brakes, and all the fixins including CPO !!!.

IMHO

Since it is a turbo S, I think buying it in the low $70's would be considered a pretty good deal.

If I was Turbo S shopping, I would buy Cleves car with under 50k miles for $59k. (Also certified) If it was such a smokin deal, it would have sold immediately.
The market is not what it used to be even 6 mo ago. People listing Turbo S's in the $70's will not move them.
