What do you guys think of this one? 95k for a 2012 turbo with 24k miles.

 

Also what is a fair price for this turbo s http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...3/overview/#1?

I think maybe below 110k.

 

Mom always said " If something seems too good to be true it probably is!"......but




Good luck whatever you decide.

 

my opinion, of course, but I think the MY2011 S is a good value at anything around 110. The price for the Turbo seems like a good deal, and I think it's a reputable seller. I always reserve the right to be wrong.

Good luck!

 

When I look at carfax. It had 3 owners in 9k miles. Had about 5 services in that time and replaced tires.

I smell tracking......Or extremely hard street driving.

Seems the first owner was living outside his means. He had it as a corporate vehicle for 7 months and put like 12 miles on it.

this one seems better.

I was the third owner of my TTS at 5100 miles. The first owner ordered the car to spec, and traded it after 600. Second owner treated it like a queen.

It's not unusual to find great cars like ours with many owners. Not at all. BTW, mine would have had a new set of tires if one of the previous owners had done the right thing. Discovered (at about 9000 miles) that one of the rears had a 4-inch patch an inch or two off the edge--an absolute NO-NO. So...you never know.

 

That may explain the tires, but what about being serviced like 8 times? Also I don't understand why someone would keep this car for only 600 miles and get rid of it. Seems wasteful to me.

 

Lots of waste. If you don't have the stomach for it, buy a Toyota. (my DD is a Corolla). I sold my 2013 Boxster S after owning it for all of 1200 miles and 6 months. My TTS is my third water-cooled Porsche, and I plan to keep it for a long time. I just needed to find my way, which as you might imagine, costs a little. (or a lot) I'm okay with it because I'm not alone, and misery loves company. None of the stuff you've described should scare you away from the car. Do your homework, and you'll get the one that's right for you, and it may have had very few miles and multiple owners. GL

 

Hi everyone,


Just bought my turbo. Did a lot of research and created a chart from current listings that compares price and lileage for 2007, 2008 and 2009 turbo's...


hope it helps

 

I think that is where the market is at these days. I bought my '11 TTS two years ago now and got a steal IMO...if the regular turbos are still fetching in the 90's it will be one of the cheapest cost of ownership cars I've ever had (modern era cars that is). It is going into winter, prices will continue to go down, new stuff will come out...it is inevitable they continue to depreciate.


I do love that car though, and I know you will too once you pull the trigger, just do a thorough inspection!

 

What are things I should look for? I know a lot of stories where people did a PPI and still got a lemon. Granted I'm only getting a CPO so if it falls apart porsche will fix it but I know also they only go so far.

 

Hmm maybe I should do this for turbo S as well lol.

 

What should you look for:

*That all maintenance has been done per the manufacturers schedule
*CPO is a great insurance policy and typically not available on a beat up unit
*Mileage you are comfortable with
*Sport Chrono
*Does it have the options you desire, e.g. color, seats, painted lowers, etc...
*What is the overall condition inside and out, e.g. paint chips, scratches, worn leather parts, etc...

IMO...the number of owners is completely irrelevant when factoring in the above.
