I test drove a standard Turbo with air suspension, and then a PP without. I preferred the ride on air, but was drawn in by the extra power and ‘exclusivity’ of the PP, so a Turbo PP with air suspension it is for me.
There’s a few comments about them being rare - but I’ve got several saved, one I’m interested in particularly but the price needs to come down somewhat for that to happen (+ needs warranty adding).
Spec desired is as follows, lots of which seems to come with the car as standard or within certain packs - but I’ll make reference anyway;
2017 - 2018 Turbo PP
Volcano Grey or Jet Black
Air suspension
21” alloys
Full leather (Agate/Pebble 1st choice, black 2nd choice)
18 way seats
Pan roof
Turbo exterior package
Sports chrono pack
Sports exhaust
Privacy glass
Black exterior trim (not silver gloss)
Heated seats (front as min)
Heated steering wheel
Carbon interior pack
Reversing camera
Full PSH - needed for the warranty I believe?
Max 50k miles
Welcome to the forum.
I don’t think you can be so picky when buying a 6 year old car on the options, particularly with Porsche where there are hardly 2 cars the same.
Better to buy on condition than specific options. I would set out your must have characteristics/options and then the nice to haves. Buy the best car with your ‘must haves’.
I think the point on warranty is that a car might be eligible due to FPSH and have unexpired warranty, but if you buy from a non Porsche dealer, any existing warranty would lapse and you’d have to start again.
Bear in mind that at c6 years, there are bound to be some running gear items approaching need of replacement. In the 8 months or so I had my 2017 Turbo (bought at 40,000 miles) I had to replace all discs and pads, had a steering control arm replaced and also another suspension bush (requiring whole suspension arm replacement) and a failure of the ACC control unit due to water ingress. All except the brakes were covered by warranty.
Good luck in your search.
