991 pricing is out of control right now

are the any nearby comps you can use to leverage the price lower? If not, try 100 and see what their response is. If this is your unicorn, move quickly.

Sorry, friend, I think I bought the car you were searching for. I picked up this 991.2 Miami Blue,manual , with 18k miles in early October 2020. I negotiated down to, what I thought was very reasonable, 79k. It has full leather...everything with deviated yellow stitching and is a CPO. I know market is inflated, but pricing on this car didn't seem high to me, with all the options. Best of all, the car was 35 miles from my home.
I started out thinking I had to have a 16 4s, manual and after driving this car, I bought it on the spot. I can say that Porsche Marin is a good selling dealer. They are honorable and even followed up with replacing the left headlight that had microfractures, that someone attempted to remove leaving swirl marks. They said they would take care of it, even if Porsche didn't.
I'm glad I didn't deliberate longer than a few minutes, another guy showed up just after I committed. He said he had missed several cars by just a few minutes.
I agree, there's more to getting a great deal. If the dealer sucks, if the car is a compromise, you'll sell it off in short order and lose TTL anyway.
Good luck.

Before whining about the price maybe check out how much your portfolio has grown since the last 6 mon first?

Hopefully, the used car market in general will correct in a few more months. I'm interested in more of a high mileage 991 and even those are through the roof with very short build sheets.
I plan on giving myself six months to see what happens and also to save a bit more to consider a higher budget.
On the flip side, I just sold my 981 for 15% more than I paid for it a year ago. I consider that a win and it makes the wait a little more palatable.
Good luck!

You guys are arguing over .1 vs .2 but what’s missing from the above analysis may be consideration of the 992. I am an example...I owned a 1984 911 many years ago and finally recently bought a very low mi 991 vs new because I actually I prefer the 991 to the 992; and the price - higher cost for the same spec combined with depreciation. Also, the 992 base MT is not available, further increasing used MT demand/value. My C2S spec new is $140K+.

Than take a look at how weak is the USD. Others in this thread were talking about watches prices going up, the weak USD also contributed to that. After all Porsche is EU based and most watches company also EU.

I just bought a 2012 991.1 Carrera S Cab PDK with 48k miles, one owner, clean carfax, Techart spoiler and EFI exhaust (121k msrp) for $60k. Had to buy sight unseen (had a ppi, clean except serpentine belt, dealer paid to replace). I also looked at a base model locally w/chrono for similar price but it was beat to hell and dealer refused my low ball offer of $55k plus they fix all mechanicals.
They are out there if you look.
PS Love my new 991.
This was actually a consolidation for me, sold my 07' 997 and my 16 BMW 650i to buy this.

This is true. I've always been the type of owner that changes cars often, always chasing something better, faster, sportier, etc. I do miss the analog feeling of my 997 (sold) over my 991, and I've always been curious about a MT GT3, but there's not much difference for me to pull the trigger. I see myself keeping the 991 forever, it feels like the perfect balance for me.
I now have a kid who will be going to college to study to Aerospace Engineering... That will be my next investment.
