Link doesn't take you to the car. Tried to narrow it down based on your description but couldn't find the car. However, based on your spec's, listed price is extremely optimistic. I'm thinking low $50's at the most. If it was a CPO, maybe closer to mid $50's.

Thanks everyone. If you look at the pics it is a Cabriolet, just says Coupe on cars.com.
Going in tomorrow to look at the car, get a PPI and possibly make an offer. This whole buying experience is fun but pretty stressful! haha

It is at a mercury dealership and that is a concern . I have noticed in recent times that these cars are tuning up at dealerships of other car manufacturers . When I see the Porsche at a BMW or Ferrrai dealership .. it makes sense but not at a Lexus , Mercedes, or Mercury.
What it implies is that the car was bought at auction in an effort to turn a profit above the regular cars they normally sell . Other Porsche dealerships could have bought it.. so could independent lots .. but they didn't . To me that signifies a red flag. I hope it works out for you but I see a risk attached to buying a car in Illinois from a non Porsche dealership , lacking warranty or near end, and taking to Nashville .

I have trouble looking at most pictures unless I edit them as my screen resolution is set for large print. Either way they did write "coupe" and in my opinion the person selling the car has to hold to accuracy.

porsche dealers have the first right to buy back the leased cars.
this car sounds like it came from an auction.. and passed on by the porsche dealerships.. a red flag, IMO

Yeah, it's actually quite funny... Got them down to $56,000 and they wouldn't budge then the PPI results came in. Wow was all I could think to say also haha.
