Hi Guys,

First time posting, but lurking for a while. Little back ground, I came across a 2006 CS that has 25,500 miles. It's a tip car and has chrono. That's about all there is as far as options. I can get it for a really nice price of under 32K.

Big thing is.... that for whatever reason, this car has had 5 owners on the Carfax. I plan on driving it for about 1 to 2 years and then sell it. UNLESS....I really fall in love with it.

Do you think that this is a HUGE cause for concern?

Thanks,

Homer

Thats a good price for a 2006 tip with that number of miles, but something doesn't seem right. I can't imagine a 4 year old car exchanging hands 5 times unless something is amiss.

Thanks for the reply.

The last owner had it for about 6 months then found out that they were pregnant. That's the reason THEY got rid of it. It was actually a Porsche CPO car at one point.

I'll bring it by the local dealership and see if they can pull the history on it.

I would love to have it and figure that if I drive it for a few years, I would not lose too much. Would be enjoying the car mean while.

Check the buying guide here. There is lots of good info in it. Also, make sure they pull the over-rev info.

Thanks for the info guys. I decided that the 4-5 owners before me didn't matter much to me. Two of owners "title registrations" were the fact that they moved from state to state, so there were total of 4 registrations that belonged to 2 owners.

I bought it today! LOVE IT! Will keep lurking and learning!

Thanks! Now I'm thinking if I should get the tire and wheel warranty from the dealership. I can get it for less than $500.00.
