Default 991.2 model year differences?

I am starting to get the itch to trade my current 2013 991.1 S Coupe for a similarly optioned CPO 991.2 S. I want to spend as little as necessary, which suggests of course looking for a 2017 car. But my decision on that would be subject to whether there is a compelling technical or other reason to get a later model year 991.2. Does anyone know where I can find a list of differences between the several model years of the 991.2?

I know there are some improvements such as the water pump and COVs do not fail as often but they are basically the same. One thing that comes to mind is they did away with the headlight washers in 2019.

2018 was the last year for Sapphire Blue.

But isn't it the 991.2's that have the water pump issues?

The Achilles heel of the 991.2 Carreras, sadly.

Per Nick, ‘18 changes include delete of headlight washers, adds a cell phone antenna booster feature in the center console, and changes the spoiler deployment speed.

No ****! Lol! I never noticed that. I had them on my 17 and now I’m going to the garage to see my 19 without them for the first time since I didn’t even notice!

hahaha. Can’t believe I missed that!

On some models. GTS still had headlight washers for ‘18.

Given the amount of nipples you see in your work, it’s understandable that they no longer jump out at you...

I love my 991.2 but I gotta say if I had a 991.1 I’d be tempted to wait 12-24 months and trade in for a used 992 instead
