I'm thinking about trading my Cayman S in on a 911 and wanted to see what you guys thought of this 911's carfax. It looks like it was floating around being beat on by who knows, as opposed to sold to an individual, right (the first "vehicle sold" entry came in at over 4k miles)?

Dealer demo. Probably not a big deal on a Lexus, on a Porsche, different story. The DME report here could be all telling.

 

Good call. If the DME checks out do you think it would be okay to proceed? In your opinion what are acceptable figures?

 

Sorry but there isn't information on the car and options. No one would really no where to start until it was known.

 

Any reports of damage? I would put a paint gun on car. If it checks out I would certainly consider car. Good luck... and nice win over Ole Miss!

 

Right. Definitely meter the paint as well. No idea until we we know the year, options, etc. Dealer car, PP, CPO, etc. Are they CPOing the car? Personally, not sure I would consider a dealer demo for a 911, especially if it is past the break in period. However, if the DME showed that the thing was never over redline, well then worth a second look. Then check the brakes rotors for heavy wear and the edges of the tires. If the rears have been replaced, well then that tells a story in itself.

 

Here is the car:

I like the car itself, it's just that I was wondering whether that carfax by itself would be a deal breaker for you guys. That said, I think I'm going to pass on this car; something just doesn't seem right to me.

 

Looks like a dealer to dealer trade/sale, and then was sold to a client shortly after. It has a factory warranty, and it should be fine. If you like the car and the deal, who cars what we think.

If you do care, I would look for a 997C2S instead of a C2, even if the milage is a little higher, you should be able to find a CPO car somewhere. The S has options that the non S doesn't usually come with.
