What the data shows

This 2013 Carrera S has the desirable naturally aspirated 3.8-liter engine and only 45,657 miles. The main documented ownership risks are Porsche Doppelkupplung transmission servicing, water-pump and thermostat failure, front condenser damage, and aging suspension components; the clean visible condition and stated receipt binder are encouraging.

Budget about $10,700 for near-term age-related work, verify the Porsche Doppelkupplung service records and inspect the modified suspension carefully. The $77,500 asking price is about 6% above the $73,000 market estimate, which is reasonable for this specification if documentation supports it.
