Default What's wrong with this Turbo ?

Hi

I have a 2015 991.1 GTS that I'm pretty happy with but am starting to think about upgrading to a Turbo. I have been seeing this one (https://nationalpreownedporsche.com/...Chalk+13860905) on the National Preowned Porsche site for a while now, and it was just reduced an additional $5K... and I'm trying to figure out if there's something wrong with this particular car or if prices have started to come back to earth with the release of the 992.

It's tempting....

My guess is that the color combo is very specific and not enticing people. From a price perspective I think it's not that far off most of the low mileage 2017+ Turbo cars I've been scoping out in the Austin +250m area.

As said above, that particular interior is not generally a plus on a 911... It's also a very basic build - entry and drive plus glass top are the only two significant options... For just a bit more money you could get a 17 TTS which has all the performance features as standard PCCB, PASM, etc. (albeit mileage would probably be closer to 10k miles)...

Not well equipped. No PDCC, no PCCB. Also the beige interior would be a deal breaker for most people.

Sticker $176K. Ask $160K. Even with "the additional $5K discount", that's less than 10% off on a leftover Turbo with an oddball build.

Certainly not hard to understand why it was a no-sale when they were asking $165K!

I love chalk paint (obviously) but anyone who specced this car with the beige interior has very poor taste. The two colors look hideous together.

Thats a hard sell.

I like the 2 tone Beige interior. Don’t know why. My last 2 Pcars had that interior.
Lite options are a big negative imo.
Love the chalk

No 18 way sport seats, interior should be black not beige with that exterior color.
