I didn't make that stuff up! It came up on on the preowned search from the Porsche website at Rusnak/Westlake in CA. I pasted the info below. Don't worry about my sanity, I wouldn't consider buying a used car for more than a new one, but I just wonder why would they would even ask so much it in the first place. Maybe they need a lot of wiggle room built into the price. If I'm going to drop 60k, I'm going to get exactly what I want!

Most Porsche dealers will deal on the CPO cars but in the end, you will still pay about $5K over what you would pay to a private party for the same car.

Whether this is "worth it" to you depends on many factors.

In this case, new seems like a better way to go.

Nothing that the dealers do in the area of pricing surprises me. They have quite an attitude about themselves.

Good luck.

With regard to that particular car, it's currently priced at $48,877 which is obviously closer to what one would expect. The prices for preowned vehicles on Porsche's website are not updated to reflect dealer actions and I'd imagine are stale across the board. Amusingly, it's also managed to shed a few miles off the odometer.
