The past two weeks I have been looking at CPO 992s across the country and an awful lot of them seem to have multiple owners. I cannot figure it out. Dissatisfied, boredom, YOLO or all of the above?

As an aside it’s crazy to think that the current carrera T’s starting price is almost the same as it was for a carrera S cab 3 years ago! I know…inflation, supply chain, etc but still

Yes, it is definitely crazy and it is going to only worsen.

I think it’s call greed …these price hikes are ridiculous.

I went down to the dealership to look at it. Just 7 miles from my home. Nice… windows have tint on it so it was difficult to see the interior. Snapped some pics.

Last pic, Harper @ Harper. Told her to go inside and get the keys since her name is on the building. lol

Completely agree.

I can hear a Porsche Brand Ambassador now, “but it has got a CPO warranty.” Me in my head, big whoop… it does not fix the 3-5 owners it has had in a very short amount of time.


Edit:

My T build if I can ever get an allocation. I am waffling on the paint and the RS wheels. Luckily I have all the time in the world to do so. https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRJHSPK4

I love those RS wheels. A surprising bargain (for Porsche) at only 2500

I do too, but I am waffling if I rather have Shark Blue or Carmine Red versus RS wheels. As aforementioned I do not expect to get an allocation for quite some time, so I have got plenty time to sit on it unless the economy happens to take a giant dump then things might work out in my favor.

What car are you referring to being above original MSRP? The Aventurine one was $164 and is $141 now, right?

I'm pretty sure the multiple owner issue with a lot of the 992s is people paying money to jump the waiting list. Original owner would buy it and quickly sell it to someone for over sticker. There were also a lot of "up the list" repeat Porsche owners grabbing lower end 992s while waiting for their GTX allocations to come up. Edit: looks like a dealership agreement, buy it from us... hold it for 3 months but don't use it... sell it back to us so we can CPO it and sell it for a premium... we all profit.

Number of owners is one thing that never bothered me, unless it is followed by similarly high number of non-maintenance dealership service visits. I've had plenty of one owner cars (my e91 is a great example) where the one owner wasn't a car person and didn't take care of it like I would have.
