was on the same boat several months ago - def get CPO (maybe offer at their cost), tires should be fine since the car has less than 100mi. The market is a bit soft so you might be able to push a bit more than normal

After testing driving a 992, I purchased a new leftover 2019 991.2. All personal preference. Buy what you like, not what is the absolute best choice concerning trade-in.

Im going through this now on a leftover 2019 (well optioned) GTS..right now its offered at 7.5% off MSRP..im pushing for 12-15%..car has been on the lot 6 months. Dealership keeps telling me its priced aggressively but I dont agree..I love the options/color. Very tough decision to go with the 991.2 or wait 9 months for the “leftover” 992’s to go on sale..oh what to do!

In September I custom ordered a 992.2 targa (November 2019 build). Got 7.5% off MSRP as a repeat/loyal customer. So on a car thats been sitting... I think 10-15% is not out of the realm....

Hi,
I'm looking at a leftover (new) 991.2 that's been sitting on the dealer lot for some time. Production date is October 2018. The mileage is not a concern (under 100 miles). Do I need to worry about...
Thanks in advance!

- Changing oil immediately (since it's been over a year from production date)
- Tire condition
- Battery condition
- Brake condition
Thanks in advance!
Maintenance issue is easily solved by negotiating first two maintenances, if a local dealer. If not from a local dealer, negotiate a couple thou $ extra to cover extra maintenance costs.

thats incorrect. My car is a good example. It was CPOed before I took delivery with 40 miles on the clock. Never titled.

Shoot for 20 or CPO + other goodies

Yes, the oxygen in the air reacts with the oil and causes a chemical breakdown. The result, among other problems, is that the oil loses its effectiveness.
What's more, there have been some oil filters that begin to degrade after long-term exposure (greater than one year) to synthetic oil.

I have a 2012 1/2 991.1 manual I purchased new ... it was the first batch of manuals for the 991 and it has been the most reliable car ... I think it had one or possible two non scheduled maintenance services in the almost 8 years of ownership.

I bought the first year of the 991.2 back in June 2016. Big change to the 3 liter twin turbo engine. Only issue so far was replacing the water pump and overflow tank, and a few minor recalls. The car never left me stranded. Just did a spirited backroads drive in sport+ mode yesterday and.....WOW. Also I have bought a lot of first year motorcycles with no major problems. Maybe I am just lucky.

Exactly what I did. I didn't even have to drive it. When I saw the pictures coming in I was hoping they weren't as bad... however It was actually worse in person. The interior is lost between the Jupiter 2 and a 80's computer. Love my 2019 991.2 Targa!!

OP, have you reached a deal? I'm on a very similar boat. I was just about to buy a CPO 2017 991.2 S but then just saw a 2019 991.2 S leftover w perfect (for me) options. I too don't care for the 992. MSRP is $137k and they're not advertising any discounts online. I'm thinking to offer 20% off and settle for 18% off with an oil change?
