Default I put a holding deposit on this 991.2 turbo and have until Tuesday to decide!

Here is the listing
This will be my first Porsche, but I have been doing quite a bit of shopping for the past few months. Is this as good of a deal as I am going to get or is it worth it to wait for the new body styles to come out so that the market drops a little further? I’m getting a PPI on Monday

Looks like a fair deal to me, if a PPI checks-out. The only thing is missing is the S from this highly optioned, $210,400 turbo. Why the original owner didn’t just by an S is beyond me!

it was puzzling to me as well haha. Think I can get any better deal if I wait a few more months? I’ve been browsing for some time and this is like the cheapest 2019 nationwide rn

Man, I don’t know. It took me over a year to find mine. If it checks out and you like it, pull the trigger! It looks like a very nice car. I have a clone of your car, except mine is a 2017 S. I bet you can work them down a bit on the price. Offer them $140K. Good luck!

Car looks beautiful, is one-owner and has a clean Carfax and, as has been said, looks extremely well optioned and has low miles. I wouldn't let the fact that it's not an 'S' bother you especially if you planned to do any upgrades to it.

If it were me two things would weigh on my decision a bit:
  • the dealer has "Beemer" in its name, and
  • the car is not CPO
Try to make sure you're able to get a good PPI. If it comes back healthy drive it home!

Already answered you on local Porsche forum, but your call.
I paid less for my turbo S, with less miles. Also came with PPI, Radar detector integrated, tint, and a lot of extras including a $12k set of HRE wheels and tires. But mine is a 2017, that is a 2019 so is it worth 2 years newer for less value and non-S? Only you can answer that. IMO that should be a 135-140k car, not 150k.

The owner checked most of the boxes in his spec. Extended leather, FAL, etc. If the PPI checks out, this car would be hard to pass IMO.

I have a 2019 Turbo and recently looked into the Porsche website for used prices and most were between $155-165K. The mileage is a bit on the higher side but not crazy. Some people can't live without the "S" but this is my second Turbo and they are just as enjoyable to drive. Good luck!!

Thanks for the advice everyone! Getting a PPI done today. I’m mostly worried about the ceramic brakes and whether those have to be replaced soon or not. What measurements should I tell them to check for?

Im waiting out a turbo S myself that I feel is overpriced. Im hoping its available by the end of summer so I can swoop in with the lower offer with end of season leverage

How much lower do these usually go end of season?

I thought the same last summer, but pulled the trigger anyway. You might be in for a long wait because new tts are going for $250K to $300K plus which I believe are lifting all boats in the used tts market.
