Suggestions on places to look for CPO Turbos

Hi guys, I am back and forth on looking for a CPO Tiptronic 997.1 or saving a little longer and buying a CPO 997.2 either a turbo S or a turbo with the following options. PDK, Sport chrono, dynamic engine mounts and Porsche torque vectoring.

I was wondering if there was any specific sites I could check out that may have a good selection. For the most part I have just just been using CARGURUS. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe this site even has forum dealers that sell CPO cars??? Sorry I am very new to P cars. I'm trying to learn all I can and get my first P car. Thanks!!

Check Porsche site and dealer sites because only a dealer can offer a CPO car. A private party can transfer their already CPO car but it is voided when traded into a non-Porsche dealer. I would save a while and get the .2 car, much better and the PDK is fantastic.

Yea I was leaning more towards saving a little more and getting a .2. Is there a reason that its much harder to find a "reg" turbo from 2011-2012??? Is it just because most cars were then ordered with the S package??? As stated in my original post I would be very happy with a Turbo with PDK, Sport chrono, dynamic engine mounts and Porsche torque vectoring. I don't need the CCB or anything else that comes on the S. Just seems much harder to find a Turbo and not a Turbo S in those years.

No S were built for 2010. I bought my CPO 2010 because I did not think the S which was sitting right next to it was worth the added cost. My car is essentially a 2010 S with all the options that were added by the original buyer(180K sticker). The options you want are nice but do lots of research because there are literally thousands of options for these cars. I love the PCCB and center locks, brakes great and very little dust.

I searched on Auto Trader and the official Porsche dealership sites. If you're willing to out-of-area then your search time may be reduced.

I can buy from anywhere because I don't mind having it shipped if im confident it's the right car. Yea I use to use auto trader a lot and haven't really been on there much. I'll check that out as well!!
