I think 2 owners is about right. For a lot of people if not most this is a luxury buy. The car may not be used as much as they thought and then of course things change over a 10 to 12 year period. Kids, jobs marriages etc. a two seater gets traded in for a 4 seater so thus a non Porsche dealer. Which leads me to my story. I just got the car that I wanted! Not to hijack your thread, but I found a 2001 S in mint condition with 64K miles at a Cadillac dealer in Atlanta. It was traded in on a 2005 Boxster by a guy who has owned 10 previous Porsches. The car was the right color both in and out, an S and had a documented service history. It is obvious that this was a well cared for car. He even did the 60K mile service right before trading it in. The icing on the cake though was the price. It was advertised at $18K but I negotiated it down to $13,750! Dealers have more room to play. Look at the KBB trade in values to get an idea. Keep looking, you will find the right one and good luck! I am currently taking my time driving it back to Texas and loving every minute!
