According to my salesman the window for the 991 GTS closed in October. An hour after I committed he said he got three calls from other interested parties and had to turn them away. I checked other local dealers (SF Bay Area) and none of them had any GTS allocations available. Might have been some sales hype, but probably not too far off... Whatever the truth is I'm happy

991 GTS = $200k plus, obviously. It's like a GT3rs w/ back seat & manual.

PDK = depreciation. MT = appreciation.

If the OP chooses to list his car for xx over MSRP, then so be it.
The market will ultimately decide what a 2nd hand GTS with 700 miles is worth.

Such is the beauty of a free market economy.

Except rumor is the 991.2 GTS will have the 6-speed manual option, yay! Though if you want a backseat, you're back to the GTS. And if you want a manual + backseat + AWD + NA engine, again a 991.1 GTS will be your only option. It's actually pretty interesting playing the "you can have this but not that" game with Porsche.

I wonder what the OP thinks of all these exchanges? Not a peep since the original post . . .

I'm pretty sure this was unplanned and I wish the OP GLWS. All the haters obviously didn't see the amount of after market time and effort put into this thing. It's obviously a passion and probably not a happy story

He's probably not happy with the hating, but thrilled to get all the traffic that keeps his post up high on the page. Happy to help.

A passion? Paying someone to add a plastic protector on the car is a passion? Paying someone to add tint to the windows is a passionate enthusiast who never drives the car except to see how his "custom switched" cameras are working? How much effort does it take to write a check? Sorry. The guy that spent two years rebuilding/restoring a 928 to original status, that guy has passion. Everyone else is a poseur.

He's got it listed for sale, firm price, over MSRP, so he's not in any desperate straits as far as I can tell.

I hope I don't come off as a hater; I don't care if he sells it for $150K, more power to him if he can make a profit or break even. I just expressed my doubts and I find the discussion to be amusing.

Even paying an outrageous price for one of these used at a dealership should at least get a person cpo and 6 years of warranty.
KBB is worthless. Its numbers are driven by dealers so they can drive trade in values down. Wouldn't trust them, especially for high end cars.

Nope, just as a realist.

Am I the only one that read all the extras and mods and thought "ok, that's actually negative $5k - $10k off of MSRP, NOT extra on top of MSRP."

Mods are a major turn off to me.

so now it's up to you what defines a passionate owner of a car? and if they don't fit the bill they get called a poser? nice spelling of poser too

don't worry you don't come off as a hater, just a insufferable douche. you give porsche owners a bad name

Kbb is obviously just a starting point. And most new vehicles lose around 20% as soon as you drive them off the lot, high end or low end. This vehicle lost about $26,000 as soon as it hit the highway. A $25,000 Honda civic lost $5,000 when it left the dealer.

I'm not saying the op's car isn't bad ***. It is. It just is no longer worth msrp. People dont even pay msrp for most vehicles, Porsches included. This car is not rare. Someone threw out a figure of 1600 of them. If there are only 1600 that's because that is all Porsche could sell at $130,000 a pop. It's not a limited edition, it's not old, and it has no race history.

Anyone spending full pop should call around find a dealership discounting on orders. Then march right in and order a 991.2 in the color they want with the transmission they want and with everything else they want.
