The 33K miles caught my eye first . I am in my seventh Porsche and I have learned the following regarding miles :
1) The first big hit is when the car crosses 10K
2) The second hit is at 20 K and/or if any paint on even a scratch .
3) Then no worries until it crosses the 50K mi mark and then timberrrrrr .

66K may come with the CPO and be very well kept but my vote always leans towards new UNLESS you know the previous owner and have full disclosue on the car's repair history .

If you absolutely love that car and must have it I won;t sway you but I think you can knock a few $$ off the price with those miles . Don't let the exterior things like the aerokit, rims and PSE be the decision maker because those things won't matter when you either sit in service or cross that 50K mi.

Good luck.

I tend to side with yarrlis1 on this. You might think "well it has a few more miles than I would prefer but the price is right." However, in the end, you'll be paying near as much per mile because the services and repairs will be coming sooner than on a car with fewer miles. In addition, for a car that new to have that many miles, it was probably a daily driver which likely means more stop and go driving (and thus more wear) than a one that was someones weekend pleasure vehicle.

I'd keep looking. It shouldn't be tough to find a similar car with fewer miles. But that's just me and what do I know really? Good luck either way!

33k is a lot of miles.
66k is a lot of money.
14k more u can get a brand new one. These were my decisions when i bought my car.

Price is high. I think I spend about $64k on my '05 997S a year ago, and it only had 12k miles on it. Today, it's probably worth $54k to a dealer who would resell it for $63k.
