Price isn't too bad, $49,000 is probably a few thousand more than what it would be in a different market.

Dealership would be willing to toss in a year of warranty as well, and I can purchase additional warranty on it.

Ultimately, if it was a long-term car, I would do it but it's something that we do plan on keeping for only a year or two and then hopping into something larger later on after more kids are in the picture. While I know the talk of depreciation is always frowned upon on forums, but it is something I have to keep in mind with this purchase.

And yes while we don't "NEED" a Porsche, it's something I've wanted to give a try as I've been pretty loyal to BMWs for years now.

Other options are:

SQ5, F-Pace, GLC
Assuming the car is also from the Chicago area, two things I would be concerned about: (1) rust from the salt on the winter streets (so I would check the underside carefully); and (2) alignment, wheels and suspension (Chicago streets are brutal and the potholes deep).
