The 991 GT3/RS Cars For Sale Thread...
#407
Wasn't false 2 weeks ago when both dealers in ATL had 3-4 RS +1-3GT3's each. Looks like they sold several of them in the past week including the Black Lizard I was keeping a eye on.

Racing Yellow .2 RS with 1300 miles and $30k in CXX. $273k MSRP and asking price is $240k. Has pretty much every option except buckets. 😔

Not everyone feels the same. The same people said the same about my sofa seat GT3. It sold and plenty calling me actually were looking for sofas. LWB are not that comfy.

I totally agree. Even Andreas Preuninger (head of the Porsche GT department) said on Spike's Car Radio that one of the must have options is bucket seats. The bucket seats are more comfortable IMO once you get in them. The hard part is getting in and out of them, which I am willing to put up with. I guess buyers who are elderly and/or have a bit of a gut will opt for the sofas. For me, no buckets is a deal breaker.

They do make brackets that allow these seats to recline. Porsche has been putting bucket seats in their cars for decades and none of them have ever really had any adjustments besides moving forward and back, and more recently up and down.

Because some people don't want the buckets....I would never order/ buy a car with buckets from Porsche....wish they made them with an angle adjustment....it's good to have choices

Choices are good, yes. That's why they make the GTS
If you're after the "race car" experience, then it would make sense to get the seats that support that desire. Buckets provide that extra level of connectivity and feel that a GT car is all about.

Regardless, 72 nationally is not a lot (considering 3k or less were produced) for the US. The number sits because some are not the right spec (missing FAL, tracked heavily, no extended range fuel tank, no PDLS, bad PTS, etc etc)
Those hoping for a deal can keep looking

Ya, I've owned the after market recliner brackets. Not a perfect solution since the bottom portion of the seat moves as well. I agree on your second point - they've made a non perfect bucket for a long time. Time to improve it.
