Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Evening! Would appreciate the collective view on the specification of the attached car, and a view on the mileage and price. I know the market has always been high for these models, and the lack of new cars is only making that more acute. I don’t know Porsche particularly well, but wondered if anything essential was missing from the spec, or if resale in 2-3 years time with another 18k miles would be an issue. I’m buying to use, not garage. Thanks a lot!

Looks to me like it’s well specc’d, but suspect you’re paying £5-10k more than you might for that mileage. Or put another way, you could be buying a car with 10-20k miles less on the clock for the same price.
Porsches aren’t so excessively sensitive for mileage as some other cars, but it does mean when you sell yours it will be at the higher end, and the extra spec won’t count for so much. So not the perfect car for resale value.
If you love the spec, then I’d negotiate hard and see if you can get it for a bit less.
Buying from Porsche (OPC) will cost a premium you lose when you drive away.
Your buying a cruising spec car:
Cab
PDK
If you want to enhoy, drive and retain value.
997 C2S/GTS
2wd
Coupe
Manual
Buy via an indie/Private
Or manual 987/981 Spyder for a roof off experience.
Thanks both for that advice - I saw it as 5-10k over as well, particularly with the mileage. I’m after a cruiser, my days of track use are long gone, and it’ll spend most of its life in an urban crawl unfortunately so PDK is kind of a must have for me- thanks both

No problem and good luck with the purchase.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
