I am cool with the interior; wife just thinks it is dated when you see it next to a 992. I have driven the 991.2 GT3 on the track a few times and loved it. Just not sure I can/will drive it around here like that and not sure how often I can track it. I drove the C4S and it was nice but nothing exciting. Have not driven the 992 GTS but the fact that it is right at MSRP is nice and I can get over the speedo thing
So, it sounds like my real question is 991.2 GT3 or 992 GTS

For your stated scenario, "not a daily driver, won't track it much if at all. Roads in town are not great. No long freeway runs.", the better choices IMO would be the C4S or the GTS. The C4S because I'm still nostalgic about mine. However, passion trumps reason, logic, even sanity
. So if you are passionate for the GT3, go for the GT3.EDIT: Just saw the above post from TheScout13. Seems the GT3 is not pristine. More reason to rule it out.

Any idea how a 20k service on the GT3 came to $12k?

it was probably in rough shape and had to have a bunch of stuff done to qualify for CPO (brakes, tires, catch up on services, fluids, excessive wear and tear, etc.). Plus those service bills are always padded to show the buyer - look how much we spent making it perfect!!

24K (not 20K) service:
Spark plugs
Brake fluid
Cabin air filter
Engine air filter
Engine oil
Accessory drive belt
At an indy shop, maybe $2k. At dealership... $12,000?????

Yea I have moved on from it. They have had the car since July and that is a red flag and apparently there is another member on here that knows the past history and says it is beat up on the interior, which is what it looks like from the pictures
