Default Found a stripper

No, not that kind, a 2012 C2 priced attractively mid 50's, but taking a look at the options list, you understand why.
About as basic as they come!

Is there anything essential I would be giving up in yer opinions? PDK, sport chrono, PASM? At least it still has the ORNAMENTAL PORSCHE CREST :-)

I'm oddly attracted to the simplicity . . .

Looks good to me . If you are tracking then PASM and SPASM becomes more important IMO. This gets you behind the wheel of a PORSCHE at a reasonable price. I'm sure other more knowledgeable people will chime in but thats my 2 cents. Good luck.

I love white over yachting blue. It would match my 993 cab (Grand Prix white over midnight blue). How many miles? I don't think I have seen a 991 in the 50s without high miles. Let me know if you pass as I am looking for something to drive up my porsches owner to increase myGT3 chances. 7MT and no sunroof is my ideal spec. Only thing I wish it had was sport plus seats. I sent you a PM about the car as I saw it listed. It has an accident on Carfax. It says very minor but it was towed.

Just be aware that Yachting Blue is not a very popular interior color, so when it comes to resale, the buyer pool is much smaller. Some love it, most hate it.

Since 2012 was a split year between 997.2 and 991, I assume this is a 991 since you are posting in this forum?

Good question - this is what the decoder coughs up

It must be a 991 since the 20" wheel is on the list.

Have you seen a pic of the car? It's obvious whether a 997.2 or 991.

I like it. I think all of the Porsche options are overpriced ridiculous frivolities that take away from the pure essence of the car. Most people who insist that you must have XXX are just justifying the incredible amount of money that they have already pissed away.

And to add insult to injury, most of that stuff doesn't mean beans at trade-in time.

That said, mid-fifties is probably overpriced for a non-S 2012 coupe, but I'm not very familiar with the market these days.

If you share the full VIN, the Porsche build sheet will indicate if it is a 991 or not.

Mine is even more stripped, none of your fancy heated steering wheel or 20" wheels ;-) I have sports mode, not sure that's even an option... no sunroof either (that was a requirement) My console buttons are practically all dummies ;-) The service advisor said they'd never seen one so "basic" but then again that's "how he would order it" himself. Less crap to go bad out of warranty (that way you can focus your $ on replacing warped door panels and bad COVs, etc).

As to your question, ignorance is bliss, I miss nothing that I do not have except maybe Carplay but that did not exist in 2012 nor does it support Waze in 2017 so.... Not sure about price, mine was 60K but that was >1y ago and the car had 10K miles only. If they're still at 55K for an older car, they are retaining value fantastically well. Cool.

I love it. I had a stripper GT4 - zero options and it was awesome. There was something so cool about knowing it had no BS.

I love my stripper. I laughed at the 911R Top Gear video when Matt LeBlanc had his sandwich where the radio would have been. I'm windows down, radio off 99% of the time. The car is for driving.

Glad you're here. Hope you find a great car and enjoy it.
