I usually start with the KBB and NADA estimates and then adjust accordingly.

In this instance, the service records, relatively clean PPI, and low miles all indicate that a bit of a premium might be reasonable.

On the other hand, lack of an IMS replacement on a low mileage car is a bit of a detractor.

With all of this being said, its hard to justify the premium price. Would you be a sucker for paying it? No, its your money and if this is the car that will make you happy, then who's to say otherwise?

If the seller is unwilling to come down any, then you'll have to decide if this car at this price is THE car for you and only you can decide that. I'm glad that if you do pull the trigger, you also realize that you probably are overpaying a bit.

Here in LA, Porsche's are on every corner so I would never overpay since there are a lot of fish in the sea. Not sure if this is the situation in Cincinnati so I understand that local supply/demand can skew things in one direction or another.

Wish you the best whatever your decision!
