Why would someone get the smoking package, this day and age. Just like a woman it will turn a 10 car in to a 2 if it is smoked in.
Many nonsmokers get this package - it gives you an additional outlet in the center console. I use mine for my CTEK charger all the time (or phone chargers on long trips).
I like that car a lot (best color and love the painted interior, like mine!) but I agree with the others that it is still a bit pricey for being 2 years old (2019's coming out) and 3k miles. That would be a great discount if it was a never driven new car but used, I would want a little more off.
If you really like the car, offer $115k-$118k and see what they come back with. If it has been sitting that long, it probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Thanks for the input guys, here's another car I've giving serious attention to, it's a 2017 991.2 Carrera S in Graphite Metallic Blue (one of my favorite colors) out in New Orleans. They're listing it at about $100k, and specced out on the configurator, it has over $26k in options, only sticking point is it has a LOT of miles for a car about 2 years old (29k miles) so I think the price they're asking it a bit high
Buy mine . It is for sale now just havnt listed it yet. 2018 GTS manual 900 miles. A lot of options
Thanks, that's a good looking car on paper, but I'm looking for a PDK and to lease a car from a dealership to lease thru my company. A private sale won't work for my purposes.

I know Graphite Metallic Blue is now a discontinued color but it was considered a $3k+ special color, right?
The spec sheet is there, it was originally $128,150. The mileage wouldn't bother me since it's CPO. There's still 1 1/2 years left on the original warranty, so it would be covered for 3 1/2 years. It's right at the KBB CPO number.
1) that is a lot of miles
2) the options are not interesting
3) graphite blue is a premium color and even though I have one and love it, I will admit this is a color that is challenging in resale because most people don’t like it.
You are all over the map, starting with a low mileage GTS and then moving to a high mileage S. What is it that you want?

I'm cross shopping a wide variety of 991.1-2 cars ranging from Carrera S, GTS and Turbo trims, my budget is scaled appropriately from the trim, spec and color of the car I'm looking at, for example I won't go higher than $100k on any CPO S I find and my price cap for a used Turbo is $120-130k range, which limits me to 991.1 cars of course. GTS models fall in the in between zone for me.

The GTS you posted is a good find, just priced too high. If it were me, I would put an offer in at $115k and see what happens. A dealer that has had that car sitting on their lot for 9 months when 2019 models are imminent is going to be anxious to get rid of it. An offer in hand at a discount to their ask will be less pain than continuing to sit on car. They are going to be taking 2018 models in on trade-ins and still have a 2017 that is premium-priced. No bueno. I am surprised they still have it, if it is true, because most dealers are going to sell a car at auction once it is 120-150 days on inventory.
Some dealers are stubborn. My wife wanted a manual S5, local dealer had a year old one. Perfect except they offered $400 off plus the Audi trunk money. I laughed. They were firm in their pricing and said how rare these cars are. True but the demand is near zero. Two years later they still had it and were selling it for 10k off. PDK cpo models do see fairly plentiful though. My search for a CPO manual was slow going so went for the T on the lot.
^^smoking package gets you a cigarette lighter that you can use to charge your phone....not really for smoking anymore...
And, the 991.2 only has one 12V, outlet, on the console side of the passenger footwell, unless you get the smokers pkg. Having only one down there is often a PITA. My recollection is my 991.1 had 4 with the smokers package.
I don't know why people bother with cigarette lighter chargers when these are readily available on today's cars
Because it's hard to close the lid there if you are driving and leave your phone plugged in for charging. Smokers package give outlet so you dont have to deal with center console bs
