I almost purchased a CPO 2012 Carrera S cab today. Very nice car with 11500 miles. The dealer wanted $73,500. I decided to sleep on it and see if that was a decent deal or not. I was trading my 2009 CS2 cab with 54,000 miles. They offered $39,000 for my cab. I loved how tight the 991 felt but there is something more visceral about my 997.2.
Trust your gut - love it then buy it otherwise wait for the right one. Personally I would say throw another 10k-12k in there and grab you a 2015-16 GTS or 2015 Targa if you love the roof options. I think there are a few additional options you can get with a new one. Do a price compare on cars.com.
You can negotiate that car. Likely they picked it up for around $ 45K, or less. Make an offer and let then call you when they are ready to take it. My 2014 Cab S would be worth about $ 50K on a trade right now. which is why I'm NOT getting a 992 at 3x the price.
