991.1 GTS Manual pricing

Such a great car you have! If you are not going to drive it, you might as well sell it for a tidy sum of money and allow someone else to drive and enjoy it. A win-win. I, for one, think the 991.1 GTS (both manual and PDK) will be considered a "collectible" car by many someday. Not that many of them were built and they are the last and the most powerful NA engine in the Carrera lineup. Not to mention it is just an awesome car both for daily driving and for spirited weekend drives. A total Jekyll and Hyde car - in a very, very good way. I drive my GTS 10 times for every 1 time I drive my GT3 Touring. I love my Touring and I now really notice the difference in torque and HP between the two when going from the GT3T to the GTS but the GTS just checks more boxes for me on a day to day basis.

If you only had the GTS, would you switch it for a GT3 touring or just keep the GTS? I am considering selling my '16 GTS and buying a touring, but I agree that the GTS seems like the best all around daily driving NA 991 made.

Although completely hypothetical (as I am keeping both), I would not give up my GTS for a GT3T. I value the GTS's day to day dexterity (it is also a cab) more than I value the wow-factor of the GT3T on the weekends. I plan on keeping both forever but at this point, if I had to choose one or the other, it would be the GTS.

Personally I've grown to appreciate 991.1 as a modern 993, last of NA like last of water cooled and now a somewhat analog feeling exterior & interior compared with 992 (similar for 993 to 996 jump IMO)
But different strokes for different folks, if you aren't enjoying it or something else caught your eye no shame in that. I've jettisoned many cars I thought I'd keep longer for that exact reason!

Just like OP I don't drive my GTS that much recently. I racked up more than 10,000 miles in first two years but after that drove less than 2,500 last 2 years. I have 3 cars and they sit most of time these days. I asked my wife about selling 911 and she doesn't recommend selling it. My last 911 was 993 and sold it in 2001 and regretted for 14 yrs until got current GTS. She knows me that I'll regret if I sell. For me there is not many cars that could replace 991.1 GTS even 992.

I don't drive mine enough either but know for a fact that selling would be followed by a huge regret as it will be hard to replace it with anything as good and same money.
GTS looks really good in white and I think your car is very well optioned, I wish I could buy a second one!

I've got 40,000 on mine and I am just getting started. I am shooting for 200,000 on this car. At 10k a year, I'll get there when I am in my early 60's. For my GT3T, I am shooting for 5k a year, most of which will be road trips. No track time and I am not enjoying the car in LA traffic. On the highway, on the mountain passes and in the canyons - epic.

Just one person's thoughts on pricing: I've been casually shopping for a '15-'16 manual GTS. I think a clean 2015 GTS with 20,000 or fewer miles would be $85-95K depending on options, CPO Warranty, etc. With your low miles you could probably get more.
A 2016 would be $95-105k. Seems like there are many white cars on the market, while I've been looking more for blue, black, grey, silver.
The 991.1 GTSs are great cars, and the decision to sell is always an individual one. Either way, you have a great car so please enjoy it! At the same time, I'm sure it would sell easily if you wanted to sell it at a reasonable price. Like anything else, ultimately, the supply/demand dictates the market price...
