Hi all, I'm a newbie to this forum. I've never owned a Porsche but always wanted one. I found a pretty good deal, I think, at a local dealership for an '04 base model with 21K mi. It has the 18" 5 spoke wheels, clear bra, short shifter, and lowered springs (H&Rs I think). The dealer is asking $33K. The issues I'm concerned about is the high mileage for a 1 year old car and it was also a loaner car for the first 6 months of it's life. The service manager was the second owner for the rest of the mileage so I'm sure the upgrades were done correctly at the dealership. Carfax shows a clean history.

What do you guys think? Is it too risky to buy a former loaner car? Do you think the price is too high for this mileage and history? Thank you for your feedback.
