Agree on the new 2015 comment. We're replacing our recently departed 2012.5 991 C2s cab and all of a sudden I'm getting "have you considered new" followed by some pretty large discount numbers. I wonder if there is early trunk money starting to float around for some of the flagship or premium dealers? Seems too early. I think maybe unit count sales numbers are starting to impact deal decisions as much as margin as dealerships start jockeying for 991.2 allocations?
Oh well, it all benefits those of us who are in the market.
13 4S Cab certified with stone grey PTS. 94k. Original sticker had to be north of 140 ?
That's an interesting color, I'd like to see it in normal sunlight.
Aside from the color, my car has almost exactly the same spec except I have performance exhaust and Techno Sport wheels. I don't have the online services option. My car originally listed for $147k and I bought it as a CPO for $98k with 17k miles. If the color is decent, this is a smoking deal, IMO.
6,750 on the miles, No CPO,
I have seen and driven the car. Seems solid but the paint is going to need some love (est. 1k in detail work). I am considering moving forward with a PPI at this point since I'm no good at detecting accident damage. Carfax is clean but we all know that can be wrong.
Any thoughts on the price? good or bad? I think I may be able to bring them down 1k more if I really push. Org asked 94. I would post the link but I dont want anyone to jump on it until I've decided to buy or keep searching. :-)
It is a 14. Its good. Bring them down and especially with your paint comment...my 14 was near perfect as is...I would go for more off and point out exactly why you think its a 1K paint correction. Damage is easy to feel...open everything and just run your finger around...it should never feel rough and no area around what you can see should feel different from another. My only comment is that you will find if you have time you will find exactly what you really want. I was motivated when I bought mine to stop deprecation on my RS7 to get a long mileage commuter car that would still be worth something w 75K miles on it...a 14 in April of this year w 2600 miles for 94K (30K exactly from sticker anyway new but exactly a year old) and um a great trade so the deal was fantastic...then I thought I could live without a duck...nope...3K later I got close to what I want but in a 90K plus car it should be closer...I really want a different interior. I compromised as this will be a daily long mile car, but I don't compromise... I should have bought the 50th car to match my own collection. I probably should have waited but I am happy with the car...sort of. Long story short this is huge money... let your search go nationwide and find exactly what you want. You will find it. I ended up building most of it after the fact but if I ordered the car it would be far different. Please wait till you find the right one.

Is that for the 991.2 turbos? Would there be a chance to get a 3.8l GTS like that? Apparently you can still (again)? order them.
What do you guys think is the average profit margin a dealer makes on these used cars? I just read another thread where there was a car initially listed for 86, lowered to 83, and the buyer offered 77 which they took. Seems like at least 10k of profit from initial list, if not more?

All depends .... Can't make a blanket statement, as each trade they take in is unique. As a high end, I would say 10K. From first hand experience knowledge, someone I know sold his 991S to a dealer for $74K. It's for sale now at $84K a week later. They did not add a CPO as it already had one on it from his purchase.
Other cars sit forever and they discount and drop the price. One of those things that fluctuates. I'd say $10K max on these 991's that we look at. I think the average might be like $7K. Can't say for sure.
Priced aggressively to sell as he doesn't want the sales process to drag on. This car is easily worth full ask. I told him to go a bit higher, but he wants a quick sale. This will be posted in the classifieds and elsewhere soon.
Think this thread will be my best friend in the coming months! Looking to get rid of my Range Rover land yacht and get in something a little more lively
Right... still have 997's on the brain. Need to remember I'm playing with the big boys now.
Good luck in your search! Don't let the right one get away if you see it. Some of the more unique builds don't come across too often. With most of these cars, no two are alike. Way toooooooo many variations of options!
It's hard finding close to your wish list. Just remember guys, you have to be a bit flexible when looking for used.
Have to look at the big picture and don't get hung up missing an option that isn't that critical. Especially one that can be easily added like PSE, Sport steering wheel, ducktail, wheels, etc ....
Sport Chrono, mileage, a different stereo, different seats, adding a sunroof? Not easy That's where you have to be a bit flexible.
