MY GTS is in Canada! She arrived in Halifax via the Columbia Highway car carrier on the 15th and is on the train to Toronto as we speak. Looks like first week of January pick up!
However - Not sure if im going to daily drive it once it arrives which is literally Mid Winter.... Im not scared of my driving, but rather of others who are horrible drivers during winter months.
Also unsure of putting a brand new car in the snow/salt..erg. Next year for sure, but instantly? I might as well hold off until mid March? One thing for sure, I'll have some sweet pictures as soon as I take delivery in early January.... I'll do a photoshoot somewhere nice on a dry day.

Can someone explain this to me? If margin is 14% how can 11.5% be below invoice? I must not understand the terminology.

Here's mine. The weatherman promises a couple of reasonably warm days this week before winter really settles in. So, I took her out for a drive today and maybe again tomorrow before I put her to bed for the duration.

11.5% is off the sticker with destination charge added, not off the MSRP. I probably came in a little over invoice, if we’re calculating to the decimal point but the car was sitting on the dealer lot and that is inventory that is financed so when all is added up I think I paid basically what they paid.

Here's your graphite blue/with red/black. Everything except PCCB from a performance perspective. With Zunsports, why they let the radiators hang out in the breeze is a mystery when the GT's have a screen.

Beautiful cars, above. The graphite blue over black and Bordeaux is stunning.

Saw a terrific combination sitting at the Woodland Hills California dealership. GT silver over Luxor beige and fully loaded. 112 miles. Apparently, it was a special order and the purchaser mistakenly ordered a manual.

That looks sweeeeet. Debating between that and a GTS interior... I know alcantara is arguably cheaper material, but also feels like it makes the interior a little more sporty and special

The car is fantastic. We’re up in Calistoga for a few days and driving the Silverado Trail back from Solbar last night was a moment where car and driver became one. My wife doesn’t enjoy twisty roads and even she commented on how planted the car felt in every turn. Everything about the GTS is tight and responsive, the only thing I don’t much care for is the P-Zero tires, when it comes time to replace I think I’ll go with Michelins.

As did @Ralt12, I put the Zunnsport screens on the radiator openings. It is surprising that Porsche left those openings wide open, it’s just a matter of time before the radiators get dinged up and even just driving a few hundred miles had me cleaning out leaves and bugs that got caught up in there. The other upgrade I did was to replace the exhaust tips with the Fabspeed carbon fiber tips (they had a black friday sale) and I very much like the look.

That price, $143k, is what the car sold for, and while 100 miles is a new car the fact remains that the car has been sold and titled. I would offer $134k for it, go up to $135k as my walk away price.
