You will get lots of good advice here. The board is a great resource.
Lots of good to great deals to be had from private sellers but personally I think you are right to consider CPO cars.
If you have researched here you understand there is some risk with all Porsche engines from 99-08. Costs can be quite high if it needs to be replaced ( 5k used - you install, 13k porsche reman. - dealer install, 20k aftermarket w/install ).
While CPO will probably cost about 3k over a comparable private sale it may save you the headaches should you be unlucky and have engine issues.
Best of luck however you go.
