Your opinion on this 2018 GTS build?
#16
porsches became known as drivers cars well before things like PDCC and RWS existed, and lets be real, the average person here is probably never gonna full utilize the a stripper base 911 to its limits
so i think you will do fine

I'm wondering if an offer of 120k is reasonable. It's not certified but there are only 2000 miles on it. My concern is that in a couple years when I'm ready to step up to a GT3 I will have lost greater than the depreciation due to over paying. Then again there aren't any 2018 GTS's listed lower.

Most importantly, do you like it? If yes, buy it. Others' opinions, like mine, are worthless. Options are very personal so there is no set answer.
But, it seems you see this car as a stepping stone to a different car so why not buy that car now? Just askin'?

Also agree with this. I just bought my car 2 weeks ago and every single GTS I was working with a dealer on had multiple people shopping it. That said, these are not rare cars and if the car doesn't make your heart leap in your chest (bad color, options you want) just pass and wait a few weeks. $122k seems like an awful lot of money, are there no 2017 CPO cars near you?

I think the base GTS is an awesome car. I have driven a "stripped" GTS and its fantastic however that car was 2019 new and 130k compared to used 122. I think a lot of that purchase comes down to the value you place on the interior. I have full leather interior and I think it is very nice. A lot of the cost of that build is in the extra leather and deviated stitching. If you like the look and feel of it then go for it. Be sure to try out the 18 vs 14 way seats. The 18 ways are some of the most comfortable seats I have sat in. Some people don't like the 18 ways and prefer the 14s. I have PDCC and I don't really notice it all that much. Maybe if I drove two cars back to back it would be more noticeable. I love RWS. I could live without it however. I love having front axel lift. It comes in super handy for where I live. My favorite option is the PCCB. They look awesome. Super clean. Great pedal feel. The GTS coupe isn't a super rare car. I would wait until you find one that really speaks to you.
