First, I am looking at the Macan GTS. It does a lot of things very well for a midsize SUV. Plus the gauge cluster is very familiar.

I have seen some pics of the orange RCF and it is stunning, but still not for me. Best of luck with your sale. I understand the M2 is quite the package as well.
TBH, I had more fun in my M2 than my current RCF.

fun fact: one of the things i thought was cool about buying certified is the two extra years on warranty AND the warranty also converts to unlimited miles.

good luck.
I agree. Price seems a bit high especially since the 2020 refreshed models are out.

Regarding the blue RCF, I found after doing due diligence that body and paint repair was performed ($2,600) on the car yet it has a clean carfax and the dealer did not bother to mention. Even though it was not major damage, it is enough for me to move on. Unfortunately, finding a RCF local is not going to happen, need to go to Northern VA or MD.

I may also look at LC500 while there looking at RCF. Am I crazy? I am finding that the LC has a faster depreciation curve and "financially" looks like the better deal. I guess I need to drive both.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you find out about the body damage?

The car fax stated "no issues reported" on the accident/damage description.
I noted a large number of service entries which I thought was odd for such a low mileage car so I asked dealer for maintenance print out so I could determine the reason for large number of service visits.
It showed up on the maintenance summary report.

Due diligence is your friend when buying a used car.

Now that's going the extra mile. For my next car, I may just end up buying new to avoid all the hassles. I bought used to save a few $$$'s but at this point, time is also money for me.

Thanks for that! Something to keep in mind for me moving forward. I asked for and looked at the CPO inspection sheet and noted that it was odd that this vehicle with only 5k miles had a missing shift **** (wondering if car was abused). I had been watching this same car for months, but it was simply too overpriced for me (price had been dropping recently, but still overpriced imo, especially for a 2017 with no tvd). I noticed the dealer increased the price back to 59k since you inquired about it lol. That seems kinda shady to me, so, I could see this dealer concealing some information about damage from you too. I'm steering clear of that car and that dealer as well...
