I'm looking at replacing my 997 C2S with a Panamera S or turbo (leaning towards turbo). My budget (~$50-$60k) puts me in the 2010 - higher mileage market on the turbos.

I'm looking at this one currently. It has most/all the options that this forum tells me I would need/want/miss-if-i-didn't-have. It will have a 2 year or 110k mile cpo. It appears to me (at least at the moment) that this is a very good deal. What are your thoughts? Average, good, great deal? If I don't get this one, how soon will another one come by (weeks/months)? I'm starting to lose objectivity.

TIA

 

That's a pretty sweet set of options. I'd compare it to the official CPO listing that porsche's website has. That's what I used to get a sense of how much mileage is worth (and cars.com etc). I don't love the mileage, but that mileage might be fair for the price range, not sure. But since the options are awesome and it's CPO that side of things looks really good.

For me, I ended up picking slightly less options in exchange for lower mileage. You also have to ask yourself which options are important to you.

 

Looks like a good package, plus hell its a CPO. I'd get extended warranty as well.

 

Good point, I got a 6 yr extended and had to shop around extensively to find it. Peace of mind? Priceless

 

The mileage seems high for this price range. I did a quick search on Autotrader, PTT, $65k or less, and turned up a number of cars with under 40k miles. I didn't exhaustively check the options, particularly since some ads don't properly list them.

At least it's local to you. For most of the cars on the list you'd have to travel. Which I don't personally see as a barrier, fly out, drive it back, but not everyone wants to do that.

 

Yeah - I've been keeping my eyes open. The lower mile cars have fewer options and (most) are not CPO (if i remember correctly). I'd prefer to get a CPO car vs. third-party warranty. In general, I'm not averse to flying somewhere, but obviously that's a lot less convenient than driving down the road to check out the car in person and having a mechanic I trust look at it.
