My first Porsche, initially wanted to daily a .1 GT3 but decided on a .1 base and waiting for the .2 GT3.

2013 Carrera 99k MSRP, paid 62.5
CPO with over 2 more years
26k miles
Super clean, almost no signs of wear yet!
Very impressed with this "Base" !

I decided on a base 991.2. I really wanted to drive it daily so loaded it up with "luxury" options including full leather, platinum wheels, premium package, entry and drive and more. The only "performance" option I wanted was the sports exhaust. I don't miss the sport chrono at all...I almost never used the sports plus on my last car. I love how it drives! Plenty fast for me!

Does the .2 not have that option? It looks really small on the configurator.
Thanks! I believe the ducktail in the .1 form factor cannot be used on a .2 due to the different cooling requirements from the turbo engines. Well done on your rides, as well!

Default 2017 991.2 Cabrio base

Previously had a '13 in an S model. Went with the base this time and finding I'm very satisfied. The only thing I miss is purely cosmetic; the red painted calipers.

My '15 991 with PSE came with quad tips. I didn't notice the quad tips as a separate option on the build sheet.

Base 2013 for me too... Low options (as preferred) as I plan to keep it a while and less stuff to go bad. Not even a sunroof ! Nice complement to my 72...

Very happy with the "base". Feels nicer than the 997s I was initially trying to buy !

Thanks... Would be better if the 72 was an S, but no..I'm kidding, I'm a "base" kinda guy, both are/were the entry level. Both are A-OK by me. I must admit that driving the old one after the new makes me want to revisit the alignment, the old car feels so floaty now ;-)

Default 991.2 base

My first Porsche. Had been on the search for quite some time until I found this 991.2 C2 manual cab. PSE, CPO.

3 states away. Still awaiting delivery scheduled for Monday. Got some new winter shoes at the dealership. Can't wait!!

Trust me, you will have all the power you need in your C2, unless you want it for the track. This C2 rocks.

Dan, yours looks like a twin for mine--now heading across the Atlantic for March delivery at PEC Atlanta. What interior color do you have?

After a week of driving (in the rain here in CA) quite happy with my stock find. Drives like a rocket. No S or GTS envy here Glad I got the Sport Chrono and the Sport Exhaust.
