I'm one of those guys who flips cars every 1-2 years and try to buy smart to minimize the gut-punch at trade-in time. Drove a 2017 C4S with the right options and love it but wondering if I should stretch a bit on budget and shoot for a 991.2 GTS. There are none for me to test drive near me so I can't assess for myself, but the question posed specifically is:

a) Is this a bad time to buy a used, well-equipped 991.2 C2S or C4S?
b) Is the GTS a smarter buy simply for the sake of depreciation

Thanks guys!

 

If you like the 2017 C4S with the right options and it is within your budget buy it, especially if budget is important. And I own a GTS.

 

I recently bought a '17 C4S after a fair amount of searching CPO inventories - they seem hard to find. I LOVE mine - so I suggest go for it.

 

Without sharing numbers, were you able to negotiate pricing or did they hold firm on their price?

 

What are nicely optioned 17 C4S with low mile selling for now?

 

CPO low mileage C4S cars have dipped below $110k. The C2S are about $5-10k less and the GTS can be $10k+ higher.

 

The Porsche dealer in Colorado Springs has had a 2017 CPO C4S in guards red with PCCB's and only 5k miles on its lot for months. I've watched it drop in price from around 127k to currently just under 104k.

MSRP on it was 147k.

Wow. That’s a lot of red in the interior.

 

That's nothing compared to the Miami Blue in mine...

 

I think it's nicely accented, now a full Bordeaux red leather interior, that'd be a lot of red

 

Pretty sure the reason is that it’s an ex-PEC car if you look at the history. I’ve been looking t at 991.2s lately and have seen a number of these popping up around the country.

Some dealers are honest and will at least tell you that’s where they’ve come from.

 

They are a Premier dealer. And the number 1 dealer in the country last year. They have the ability to get cars for customers when other dealers cannot.

 

The car was used as a demo car at the Porsche Experience center. Hard pass.

 

Only driven on Sundays, and only a quarter mile at a time...
