Here is one guys,

Manual
Chalk, $10k below MSRP, mileage is 20k which may be higher than some would like.

https://vinanalytics.com/car/WP0AC2A94JS174485/


Anecdotally, I started hunting for 991.2 in the 165-180k range. Upped budget slightly and switched to 991.1 GT3RS since I felt there was better value there. Now I am slightly upping budget again since 991.2 GT3RS is basically right there as well.

Would be a daily to the grocery store / pick up food. No track; I can barely find the motivation to leave the house outside of food if I'm being perfectly honest. I just like the sound of cars and how I feel when I am in them 👍🏻. That's why I would have to have bucket seats, for the aesthetic appeal.

The reason for the Buckets I can relate, the RS not so much, I really like the RS but it really is a much more track focused car then the non-RS. The non-RS will be much more fun and useful on the road. But that is just me :-)

Agree with this so much that I felt the need to Quote it!

that’s my old car. Don’t let the miles scare you. It was very well maintained and cared for. Over 16k miles was my doing and that was on bbs mags. Trade in day last June and what it looked like under my ownership.

I will vouch for JBravo this car is stunning in person. I would not hesitate to buy this car if you are in the market.

Glanced at listings the other day, asking prices are a little bit steep...

991.1 GT3RS - third best--the ones below MSRP have high mileage, all the good examples are currently still $200kish
991.2 GT3 - I dunno, given the above, I think 991.2 GT3 is in a bubble (euphoria) right now.
Which model are you guys going for? Other than the 991.1 GT3, the other three are all pretty close in pricing with lots of overlap now between each tier imo.
Easily the best bang for buck is a 991.1 GT3 with a G6 engine. .1’s can be discounted in price because of the engine issues on the OEM E, F and G0 motors but the broad market doesn't know or price in the success of the final G6 replacement. A lot of sellers don’t even know if they have a G6! Also I think the .1 is the best looking front end.

Maybe it’s the shadows, but is your former car riding at factory ride height? It looks lower (in a good way).

Did you swap out springs? I've seen a number of people say they lower their GT3 using the factory spring perches, but that always confused me because aren't they intended for adjusting preload?

Just adjust the factory coilovers. There's a ton of adjustment available in the rear and a bit in the front. I have my car sitting around 12mm lower as well, very similar to Jbravo23's old car. Fronts are spun all the way down, but I also wouldn't want to go any lower so that's not really a problem.

I may be wrong, and I may be missing an opportunity on your old car. I’m sure the group appreciates you posting here.

what’d you get to replace it?
I got the near exact same car/spec but in PTS Mexico blue. And paid an even heftier premium..

The perfect spec/low mile cars will always bring a decent premium. Hope you pull the trigger when you find the right one.

I believe the 991.2 is slated to rise similarly to the 997 rs cars. Reasons: no power door handles, no plastic front bumper, cup car 4.0 engine, no OPF! Lower waistline, prettier front and rear silhouette. Simpler cabin operation, less techy. I had an allocation available on a 992 at 30 over and paid a whole lot more to get both of the 991.2s that I’ve had. Money where my mouth is…
Cheers.

The chalk car has now been sold. Congrats to the new owner!
