Just goes to show everyone that buying new is for idiots with more money than common sense. GT2 CPO at 80k. Wow.

I'm curious, what do you think is too good to be true? It's not some Internet scammer on Craigslist, ebay, or Autotrader. The car is CPO'd, so it has to be in good condition. What surprises do you think are lurking?
Heck, the $79K is their starting point.

It could've been in an accident and was not reported to insurance. Paint might not be original. Nobody can prove otherwise unless they go look at the car in person.
It's got 3 owners and none of them drive it much.
Report says "Fleet, Rental and/or Lease Use Record(s) Reported to AutoCheck". So it could be a lease or a rental.
PCCB rotors might need to be replaced as they can wear prematurely if the car was tracked. CPO do not cover this. They're about $8000 a pair.

I can almost guarantee you guys that this is a typo. The car is probably on sale for $179,000.
It retailed for $280 new, right? This seems to be the logical explanation.
I tell you what... I'll call or email them later today to get the skinny on it.

I think the price may be correct. The Porsche web-site also lists the following GT2's:
2002 $89.9 9,000 miles
2003 $108 27,000 miles

I think the fleet/lease stuff usually means it was a company car. You'd be surprised how many of the 911's are company cars.
As for the PCCB...you can also just go to the big reds.

Did anyone read the original post? It's a 2003... Not a 2008.
No, $180k price, no PCCB's...
Still not a bad price to start from, at a dealer no less.

The 2003 GT2 has PCCB's as standard equipment. You can see it listed in the link. First item, too. The yellow calipers are a dead give-away too, if you're not a "poser"!
