The price is too low for what the market will bear... touring or not. 800 miles and 14k under MSRP? I don't think that dealer understood what GT3's are selling for currently.
As evidenced by the sale pending 24 hours after my post.
Thanks RapidGT; are GTx cars coming back into fashion as hot cars now? Prices seem to be creeping up quite a bit and inventory looks really low compared to just a few months ago.
In before somebody makes a comment about it having a digital gauge cluster and the 991.2 Touring as the last true “analog” GT Volkswagen.

No one knows what’s going to happen in the future, but for some reason the Touring is desirable by enough people to increase its price (not saying value). Your last comment almost seems like you are having a little Touring envy. No reason to belittle people that prefer it to its winged sibling. Although I own one, I agree prices are a little much but I’m not complaining. I have no desire to sell anytime in the foreseeable future.
By the way the wing was removed by Porsche, not Jesus.
And with your comment about GT Volkswagen perhaps you are on the wrong forum.
FWIW....usually when people are all wringing their hands about prices, and speculating there will be a catalyst for them to decline is an indication that prices will be stable or creep up further, and as soon as everyone says they will continue to go up is when you should expect prices to drop.....this is the same with most asset classes.
A combination of factors lead to this perverse phenomenom.
1) People commenting that prices will go down, are usually people hoping out loud prices will go down (call them the baked-in "value" buyers that will rush in at any perceived deal and put a near term floor on prices)
2) much more importantly, people buying in the face of already known headwinds (992 touring supply) are somewhat indifferent to current pricing. They aren't marking illogical decisions, rather it's a buyer base that is entirely comfortable losing $60k-$80k to own the car / have the experience /etc. This makes them enthusiast owners who are less likely to sell in the near term irrespectve of what happens with pricing.
3) if the inverse was true, when sentiment shifts and people speculate out loud that prices will definitely not go down or even keep rising, that's a signal that you actually have very price sensitive buyer base jumping in that can't or won't handle price volatility well, and any near term price declines will make them panic and sell (or trade), which then becomes a self-fulfilling cycle on pushing prices down

Hilarious!! ... & yes I took it as a joke. Nothing wrong with a good prodding these days,... even tho many take life so seriously that they forget there is humor in everything.
To each his/her/he/she/.. their own ... I'm a winged guy stemming from the 80's 930 - 90's 964 Turbo tea trays,... but I also looove louvers & air vents,.. and for me the back end of the touring is missing a little flair in that regard. But HEY, the touring is by definition supposed to be a sleeper, so I get the design theme.
Anyway,, Thanks for the chuckle out loud. ... & I love how each generation GETS to use the phrase "last true analog" .. been hearing that one fough...eva
& lest I be accused of not posting a FS link,... (cuz I love watching the markets on our cars too),....
This one seems to be a new listing (albeit for sale with these similar miles, from formulaimports in the past),...
But it definitely catches my eye....
