Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

True???
Saw a 2003 Cab on the web advertised for ~$55K (25K miles)... the car is setting at a Porsche dealership and can be found on the dealer's website as well. Price on Porsche dealer's site is $68K... is a CPO.
Big delta on web versus Porsche site... ~19%. Would anybody expect to see this big of a delta?
Suprisingly this happens all the time. The 68 k price has probably caused the car to sit there for ages, so now they're pricing it to sell when they pay for an ad online. Since their own website is free, they put up a ridiculous number since they have nothing to lose.
No point in disparaging dealer methods any more than we already have, but in this new online world they do seem archaic.
Spoke to the dealer... it is a CPO and it has been sitting on the lot for a while and that's why they are discounting it now. As the reason why it has been sitting for a while, his personal opinion was that it is because of the color.
Car is Meridian Metallic with a Metropol Blue Leather interior. Tried to find these colors on the Porsche site, but they are discontinued. He described the color as an Artic Silver with a little bit of Gold over it, such that it looks kind of platinum. Anybody familar with this color... any opinions?

Looks reasonable
I personally like metropol blue leather but I think you really need to see it in person
my interior/roof are metropol blue and ive seen a few silver on metropol cars that look great, so i cant imagine just off of silver on metropol being terrible.
EDIT - here's my interior
I wouldn't exactly say 55K is a smoking deal but still pretty darn good IF AND ONLY IF those colors are ones that you would choose. You can get 03 CABs all day long for low 60'sK at dealers and mid to high 50's private party (and remember CPO is transferable private party to private party).
Personally I would pay 5K+ more to have EXACTLY what I wanted all other things being equal (year, body, trim, etc.)
meridian silver is a mixture of gold and silver. IMO, it's not a great color and metropol blue isn't my fav either. $55k is not bad. however, i think that's a reasonable price and not a bargain either. as a reference, i bought my 02 over a year ago w 17k mi for $57k on eBay.
bottom line, get the color and option you want and not let price drive your decision. certain options can be added, certainly color can't be changed easily.
