992 Turbo S builds that I come up with are all ~230k, 60-70k delta over the 991.2 Turbo S, partly due to the fact that on a 992 I would want PTS which is ~12.5k, dream scenario is finding a 991.2 Turbo S Miami Blue with 1 Owner. The Porsche Nashua car they offered 1K off lol.

Since this is 991 forum am not going to go into too much detail about the 992 TTS IT IS AWESOME!!!….things that bug me…over complicated pcm door handles that have a mind of their own and dash gauges you cant see especially my favorite boost gauge….and of course the loss of the shifter!!!! for me the jump to the 992TTS was worth it but wii take some getting used to!!!!

If you guys look at Porsche Grapevine, you'll see my 2016 GTR Nismo that I traded for my 2018 Porsche Turbo S.
One member of the GTR forums asked me and I told him everything about the car, he appreciated that input a lot. It's good to see that there are good people here helping a fellow
member with his purchase.
OP - I'll tell you this, my car had 7700 miles, chalk on bordeaux, CPO, (full warranty until 2024), Glass sunroof, moonroof, front lift, clean, but no PPF, great brakes, decent tires, and purchased for 169K.
Hope that helps you "gauge" your purchase. Goodluck!

Thank you and yes I agree, that is the value of forums like Rennlist
Congrats on the purchase and love the color combo. For me, one of the reasons why I love Porsche are the unique and beautiful specs and color combinations offered. It looks like for a 991.2 CPO they are all pretty similar in price, avg around 165k, just have to find the right one that comes in that is also in great shape and well cared for. Have to be patient, coming from the most impatient guy ever lol.

Thank you! If you can let me know the condition of the car exterior / interior that would be great! Mechanically it sounds like everything is great and they just did the 30k mile service, my only issues with them is the price, I feel 169k for a 30k mile car is too much when there are many other CPOs for 160-165k with sub 15k miles, and they would not budge on the price since it just came in.

This might be a better choice, less miles.

Bump for an update; Nashua car still sitting. Inquired and best I was told was 2K off. I offered 160K delivered (delivery prob cost ~1500) which I think is fair considering the miles and market but they were not having it.
Isringhausen has a very nice PTS 17 Turbo S. https://www.isringhausenporsche.com/...1a7c9b8274.htm
They want $180k, which I think is way too high for a 17. The more and more I look at the used ones the more I convince myself to just order a 992 Turbo S. The 50K delta for a 992 seems to be worth it.
Any 991 Turbo S owners have experience with the 992 Turbo S yet?

i did drive the 992tts as well, truth be told, it wasn’t as much of a step up as I thought It’d be. It solidified my plan to get a 2017 and save 70-90k
