i got a 15 CPOd with 1900 miles a year ago (well before the .2s started coming out) for 13% off. Yes 20k miles no CPO should be 30% off. Personally at $120k I would run the other way.

Does it have to do with the MSRP? I have seen $160k 2015 GT3 with 2k miles listed for $140k. But I have never seen one priced lower than $100k. (not including salvaged tile). I, personally, would be happy to get a $140k to 145k 2015 GT3 with 10k miles at 25% off. If you can point some out to me, I would greatly appreciate it.

It does not have to be. You said is $120k a good price. Not if the car in $125 MSRP, but it is great if it is say $150k. So I was just giving you a barometer as you are out looking. A high mileage .1 GT3 should be well discounted no matter what the MSRP started at. I would be looking for options you want then figure out the discount off MSRP to judge if you are getting a fair price. If the “deal” doesn’t matter to you then go right ahead and just buy the car you find that you like at the price you are comfortable paying.

I think typically about 25% below MSRP is the market right now. It may be hard to find 18-way sofa seats in the '15s and '16s since the buckets were so popular when introduced after the '14s. Good luck on your search!

Most of the 2015 GT3's that are currently for sale are priced 8-15% less than original msrp. Seems most sellers private/independent stores/dealers are dreaming with their pricing and not moving the cars.
Pretty evident when the same cars have been for sale for months. So, what is the true market value on a 2015 GT3 with 6000-10,000 miles?

1. super high miles, non-certified 2014 GT3
2. cars without Front Axle Lift or Sport Chrono
3. Cars priced over $140k.
4. Private seller cars.

Most bolt in roll bars, if not all require the side panels be notched to reach an anchor point behind & underneath them. Each side panel cost $1300 to $1400 each plus shipping. A piece of carpeting will also have be replaced.

I purchased a Dark Blue Metallic 2014 GT3 with 7,000 miles for $132,500 from Livermore Porsche on 8/29/18. One year warranty. Original $155,720 MSRP. Extended range fuel tank, PCCB, LED headlights with PDLS, 18-way seats, Leather interior with red deviated stitching (dash, door cards, center console). No LWB's - too difficult to exit in tight spaces. No FAL but that was a compromise in trade for a low-mile, super clean car. Besides, the front spoiler lip is just $182 at Suncoast. No roll bar (how do you clean the rear glass?).
There is no way you are going to find a clean GT3 30% off of original MSRP with less than 10K miles at least on the West Coast except if it has a story such as a $105K Agate Grey '14 in San Carlos where the owner drove it over a huge curb and high centered the car then repaired to the tune of $15K of which did not show up on Carfax but that the independent dealer was transparent about the cars history.
I am not the least worried about the original E motor blowing up because of the ten year warranty. Also not concerned about affect on resale value because there is still demand for these cars.
Maybe my deal was just so-so. May be I paid a little too much but it was worth it 100%.
$120K for a 20K 2014 GT3 seems about the going rate.
Good luck in your search!

Also yes there is a 10 yr warranty on all .1 motors HOWEVER most of the documented and certainly from all my experience and friends the “E” motor (2014) has had the majority of the issues so why deal with a car being down that long for a new motor if you can avoid it. If it is the perfect spec 2014, go for it.
I will tell you if it is truly a budget thing then wait around for the car at the price however if it is not so much the money then find the car you want, negotiate the best you can and then just buy it and enjoy it. Trying to get the perfect deal may cause you to lose plenty of cars you really want and then you will be kicking yourself.
Price is a pain point, what you really need to know is buy the seller, understand the history of the car if you can get it, get a PPI and then buy the car.
The .1 is an amazing car and enjoy mine every time I drive it.

In a way, that's a good thing. One of the reasons I am getting a GT3 over GTS or Turbo is because it retains value better. If I am able to get a crazy deal like 25-30% off on a low mile, right optioned, clean 2015 now, I would really be worry about the value of car in the near future.
Thank you very much for sharing your info. There were a few 10-15k mile 2015 GT3 ($140k range MSRP) that the dealer listed for $125-130k price and willing to negotiate. But I turned them down because they are either missing Front Axle Lift or Sport Chrono. The 20k mile, $120k one is a CPO 2015 GT3. It is listed for $125k and the dealer really wants to make a deal. I am also seeing a couple of 2014 with 9k miles listed for $129k. Would you rather have a 2014, 9k mile GT3 or 2015, 20k mile GT3? 2014 will probably be a couple grand higher due to the low mile

Here is one with the seats you want for $124,800
