Decision time, offer accepted on 02 S

What's the dealer connection (or non-connection) with the Porsche dealership? Does the Porsche dealership have their own used lot or do all the dealerships combine their used cars into this 1 place? The AutoTrader ad makes it sound like the dealer has a connection to several dealerships.

The reason I ask? How did the "local dealer" get this car? Was it traded in to the Porsche dealership and then ended up at the local? The carfax doesn't give those details but it looks like that could have happened - the last 2 entries in the carfax report. Why would the Porsche dealership not want a low mi 02? Do they know something?

It's early in the morning and I have too much time to think.

Just buy it! It's just a car. Make sure you have a little cash set aside for repairs. I have bought 2 Porsches without a PPI. I will catch hell for this but drive it, look it over really well and make a decision. You either like it or not. Plan on taking it in for a replacement of the IMS and RMS. Should not need a new clutch at that mileage. About $1,600. Then drive it and enjoy it. You will have to deal with any issue that comes up after that but you would with any used car. Just my 2 cents.

I think that price for those miles with good brakes and tires is really good
$10-$12k maybe a Base but thank goodness not for an 'S' (I have 02 S)
This is a dealer with a dealer's price. I have heard of them and they are big and affiliated with a lot of brands.

The only concern (reverse logic here) low mileage, 14 year old car and as add indicates, 3 owners
But 29k miles is pretty tasty and hard not to be very persuasive
Oh to be at 29k miles again (@ 75k now)
