That's not bad for a Calif. car with those options. I paid 103K for an out of state CPO 2015 GTS last Nov. with 13.7K miles. My car's MSRP was 145K I think because mine's got the LED headlights & cup aerokit. Otherwise you've got most of the bells/whistles one can get with these cars. I think it shows the NA GTS pricing has stayed in that 100K range depending on options/condition. Enjoy your new car!
I agree it’s a fair price. I paid $102K for a 2015 last October with a MSRP of about $148K and 20+K miles.
The pricing on these seems to be pretty firm, you may want to look at the HFS post and search for GTS for some more feedback.
If you buy it, please post some pics!
Found my unicorn a few months ago and loving every minute of it. 2016 991.1 GTS aerocup kit, lava, 7MT. I'm a track junky, so of course it's been the track a couple times already. The sound of that NA exhaust on the track is just intoxicating!
Nice video! Instructor seemed kind of quiet, so I can't help mentioning of couple of things to help you get the most out of GTS on the track. Hope I'm not out of line:
Use the whole track, you're cheating yourself by not at least clipping the curbs on many of those apexes and exits.
Try to get a little closer to the steering wheel so your arms are more bent and relaxed. Shoot for 9/3 hand position vs. the 10/2 position you're doing. Personally I'm not quite at 9/3 but I try
It's not a total sin to shuffle your hands if you have to on tight turns, especially if you're finding you arms are completely swapped. That being said, you're probably turning the steering wheel too much. Use the brakes and throttle more to rotate the car. I probably shuffle my hands too much, but a little bit is ok especially on long sweepers and really tight turns.
Thanks for the tips! That wasn't an instructor, just a buddy of mine along for the ride. I need to get the car aligned, it's got whatever alignment came on it when I got it. coming from a GT4 it just doesn't turn in or have that point and shoot feel I got used to. It needs as much camber in the front as I can get and probably more toe out as well. I'm resisting going to adjustable lower controls arms, monoballs etc because I told myself I'd keep off the slippery slope this time. I'd use more of the track if I felt the car would go exactly where I wanted it.

Yeah, I’m still trying to get mine sorted to my liking also. I definitively have camber plates on my to do list and my initial alignment settings need tweaking.
The trans mounts are too soft for the track with manual, so I need to figure something out there too.
My brake system is totally stock and I found it to be quite suitable for track work luckily. Like you, I don’t want to go down the slope too far on this car and get into constantly switching brake pads around etc. I have a race car and don’t really want another one, lol!
