LOL @ the people suggesting a .2 GTS over a .1 GT3... Sometimes the bias against .1's on here is laughable. Yeah, let me get a diluted turbo-charged car because it has CarPlay and a backup camera over a 9k N/A screamer. Yeah okay.
OP, from a fellow M guy to another - this deal looks solid, I wouldn't look back.
Especially if you're tracking it - no need to overpay for buckets and PCCB since this isn't a C&C mobile
1. Get Girodiscs or the AP kit
2. Throw some recaros and a rollbar
3. Enjoy nearly 5 years left on that engine warranty and beat the snot out of it

itrsteve - many thanks. I will most likely trailer 911 to the track with my F86 M, so recaros will be good indeed.

What are you getting for the M, The next few months may not be prime to sell your M outright, so a dealer purchase may be much easier if that is part of the financial component of the budget.

a super example of a 991.1 gts...the one in the original post seems overpriced

Did the car spend time in Colorado Springs? It may be the one that was a dealer loaner if that matters.

I am looking to get into my first Porsche.
https://nationalpreownedporsche.com/...allic+37362453
I will be trading in my '15 M3 which I have since late '14 with 22k on the clock now. While I enjoy M3 for what it is tremendously, I think I am ready to move into try something else and possibly get my dream car. I wanted to get '18 GTS but since this CPO '15 is well within the budget, I think it might be the one.
Any suggestions or comments will be much appreciated.

So I ordered a 2019 GTS and absolutely love it i don’t think you would be disappointed. I made a few tweaks to mine to get it to my liking, Cup 2s, some suspension mod’s and sorted the sound. High flow cat’s (as well as headers on mine) really open up the sound in the .2 turbos. It might even be borderline too loud but only with sports exhaust. If you want to go further then you can turn it into a monster with a flash. I haven’t but follow the threads and there are some serious quick GTS’s lurking.
I have the 911 bug and currently pondering how I can swing adding a NA GT car.. seeing as I have the “family car” GTS.
I am sure .2 GTS’s will have taken a bigger dip in price so you probably can pick up a good buy compared to the GT3.
Good luck

GTS or a GT3?? Really ??? - GT3 all day long but I would wait a couple months and jump in to a .2 GT3.
I think you should be able to get in to a low mileage .2 around $140,000 and who knows- may be slightly less for a higher mileage one.

When I’m in my .1 driving down the highway and can’t hear myself think or when you hear pebbles continuously ping the under carriage, it reminds me of those long trips to the track in an ITR.
Either way, if you’re an NA guy then you at least need to own one GT3 in your lifetime.

I think it’s over priced too.
Dealerships are trying to get cars off lots right now and for good reason. Go offer around $100k and if they say no, wait two weeks. I bet they’ll call you.
And like many have said, the .2GT3 depreciation will follow. There’s a white, manual, .2GT3 on auto trader right now for $129k. Higher mileage tho, 20k
If you get a GTS, every time you see and hear a gt3 you’ll be regretting it. Just my 2¢

A 991 GT3 under $100k is the best sports car value on earth. Then they throw in a warranty for another 4-6 years on top of that. It's really insane if you think about it.

I haven't gotten a offer for my M yet. When my workload lighten up a bit next week, I may drop by a local Carmax to see what I can get for it ~ low to mid 30s?
My thoughts on trading in M3 were for a following reasons:
1. Sale tax deduction
2. Can't fit another car into our 3 cars garage. - I would have love to keep this low options M around for as long as I can.
Cheers,
