I have a dealer offering me a 718 GTS with a 3/3 ETA for a $7k ADM.
That seems pretty reasonable in today's market. What does everyone else think?
I'm waffling only because I'm not positive about the color. I don't dislike it, I just haven't seen it in person. The rest of the build looks pretty good to me—anything major missing?
Black PDLS Bi-Xenon are standard on GTS and are quite a bit more competent at night and in rain than this forum would like people to believe. LED is better, but PDLS is not bad and should not be a deal-breaker option.
Arroqueno, well you have an invitation to negotiate congrats! i think it is likely you will find the interior Bordeaux/black more defining versus the exterior ice grey or bright silver. Car is a bit heavy an options and grounds to noodle the numbers. can deposit subject to liking it upon inspection. a couple of grand not material but you got to love the car including colors. no regrets and there are some good ones on resale out there in a range of colors. good luck

My Spyder had a similar ADM which I politely declined and said thanks anyway. A few days later they called back and sold at MSRP so if you don't try you'll never know. They'll gladly take your money if you're willing.

I just locked in a GTS for zero ADM, a month ago the offer was 7.5k ADM. Market is definitely cooling a bit.
Personally 7k to lock in a car 6 weeks away wouldn’t make me back out the deal provided the build made me happy. For what it’s worth my build is near identical to yours, just a manual.

for this build? no
that's also basically 10k adm as I don't know a single person who optioned the navigation system
I made the same choice - the GT4 was 25k more, came with a higher ADM and dealership games, and the GTS checked my daily driver boxes for a car I want to keep for 7+ years.
Depending on your comfort for aftermarket and tunes, a Cobbs L1 tune completely removes the engine performance delta because, you know, it’s the same engine. I’m fine with paying 80% of the sticker price to get a car that is somewhere between 80-100% of the GT4.
Congrats on your soon to be incoming! On the streets and with 18-ways, your GTS is going to be a star! Share your build, I'm always interested in how people spec their wonderful cars.
For me, I am still holding out for a GTS before MY24. But also if rumors are true and Porsche comes out with a N/A for its lower lineup 911s, I would probably jump at that. It is all about the N/A engine for me.
Yeah, I bet there are a fair number of 911 onwers chapped that lowly boxster/cayman owners can get a nice 4L NA engine, while they are stuck with turbos for anything below a GT3.

718 GTS - 6MT
Ice grey with GTS interior (red stitching)
Wheel and gear in leather
18 way seats
Premium package
Minor high gloss black exterior options
This was an inbound dealer order - if I were to custom build the only things I would probably change would be debadging the doors (which I assume I can have the PPF installer do) and change the rear model designation to just ‘718’.
When playing with the configurator I quickly learned how fast options add to the price - I specifically wanted a GTS 4.0 without entering GT4 price territory.
