That's not much of a discount for a rebuilt title. $21K is about right for a private sale with that mileage in the pricing guides. I look at too many Porsche sale websites but I remember recently seeing a base 987.2 Cayman with similar miles for $21K.

Looks like it has heated seats, Bose, power seats which means it also has memory and rain sensing wipers. Also looks like it only has 1 key, which means it will cost you an addl $500 to have Porsche make & pgm a 2nd key.

997 / 987 PDKs are supposed to have the trans fluid flushed every 6 yrs or 60K mi. Chances are this one needs its first flush. If you have the dealer do it, the cost will be close to $1K.

2-seater sports cars are lifestyle vehicles. They can be bought and sold on a whim. Something in your life changes - get married, have a baby, get divorced, retire, downsize, etc that can impact whether a 2-seater is practical in your life. Buying a 2-seater with a tainted title really means you better evaluate your life situation. If you buy it and suddenly need to sell, people are going to wonder why. Obviously the damage wasn't severe, but you need to carefully consider purchasing this car.
