Didn't include PTS in my $160k car (July build, September ED 😀
. I just configured your "build" but only got to $186k. That's with deviated stitching, black LEDs, black wheels etc. I guess only the carbon fiber options would get you there...
But why would you pay $191k MSRP plus a ~ $20-25k ADM for a 911? That's Lambo Huracan territory! I'm having trouble digesting my $160k+20k ADM plus $20k CA taxes, registration AND no more income tax write-off 😶 GT3. My 997.2 was $135k out-the-door!!!. So is the 991.2 MT worth $65k -a third-more? I know there's another thread talking about this so sorry for the repeat.
But paying over $200k for a "simple" GT3 -not an RS- IMHO, is TOO much. Cheers.

Right now, my MSRP is at 173k ish. (That is when I am going with regular since I missed PTS window like an idiot) and that includes
- LED
- FAL
- PCCB
- LWBS
- Bose
- Leather
- SC
So yeah...
I wish I can write this off as buisness car.

I have LWBs, FAL, PCCB, LEDs, Leather, Bose, Carbon Fiber, etc and I'm at $172k. How are you guys getting into the 180's or 190s? PTS?

Pts, FAL, extended leather Dash + visors + BOSE+ column + LWB... pts.. wheels you like... you're there. I made the list of items which I HAD to have because their omission would not make sense to me, and $170k came and went.
I feel like if it had been an RS I would have spent half of that in options: no leather at all, no PTS, no BOSE.. so much of that just wouldn't have mattered. #becauseracecar. But gt3 is a road car for trips, for pleasure.. it's not that hard core. so many of these extra items meant something to me. Oh well.. I gain/lose more in a day just in AMZN fluctuations... market takes a dump tomorrow and there goe PCCB's... numbers are all so relative and meaningless, you sweat over finding a gas station with cheap gas, then get rounded up by your IP lawyer to the next $5k because of "more research needed".. I try to be frugal where I can, I take it up the p00per from govt and contractors other times. The gt3 gets specced exactly how I want it.
One thought gives me focus: it's the last, manual, naturally aspirated sports car in the world (shut up about the gt350 already).. it's a now or never decision. nuff said.

No, not too high necessarily.
Think mine is like 196 @ MSRP or something, with no PTS... If it's for you long term, i think that's fine. If you plan to keep it for a few years and upgrade, it may be slightly harder to sell, depending on the config. Everybody seems to think the way they would spec the car is actually objectively the most desirable- but I have seen some cars that people are REALLY proud of that I think are horrible, and I am sure if I put my build up, there would be plenty of folks willing to talk about how they wouldn't do it my way. Sure, 200 is getting near turbo s money, but that's not the car I want

Oh ok. How much is CF interior? I guess just CF trim + door sill is combined at 1.6k which shouldn't take a big difference. Mine comes at 172 with no interior upgrades other than leather and steering column casing. (Which I am still debating if it's worth it)

Sorry to ask this question here (didn't want to start a new thread on one question alone). My car has the carbon fiber interior option however, the middle piece were shifter is located, does not have the cf trim that I have seen on other cars. Does the shifter console trim come included with cf option?
