Opinions on Value?

This car has really caught my eye, love the color combo, looks great in pics, right in my price range at $39.9k. But having nearly 60 k miles is a bit scary considering it would be a 75% DD and would probably hit 100k miles is 3 years.

Service records, PPI, and DME scan can help with peace of mind. The ad also says that it is certified pre-owned, with a warranty. That could be key given the specifics. Mine has 74K and it has been very reliable.

I'm thinking of putting mine on the market to assist with some business opportunities, but the thought of not having it has prevented me from doing it so far.

Got a line a pretty well optioned, low mile 08 C2. Definitely more than I had ever planned to spend, but seems like a decent price on an 08 so Im going to at least check it out. Ive decided that I want to stick with a car alot closer to home.

Fleet / lease vehicle sold at auction. Failed a safety and emission test back in 09 an there is something going on with the odometer reports. I would be more than cautious. Verify the Warranty. Did not think a non Porsche dealer could sell a CPO car this woul more than likely be an aftermarket warranty purchased from a 3rd party which is a different situation. And, I don't like cars from Florida.

That dealer is in Houston and they sell anything and everything. They price them to move quick, so you won't have time to do anything inspection wise. I was interested in a 996 turbo from them last year. They said it would take $500 nonrefundable deposit for them to hold the car. Otherwise it might be sold by the time it got there. And if I didn't like the car when I got there, I could put my 5 toward anything else on the lot. BS. I didn't go for it but I called the next day and it was sold. Not really a great shop if you ask me.
