All I know is the .1 SPASM cars are dialed to perfection, being low enough to look purposeful yet still street instead of track, while the .2 SPASM cars have me wanting to lower them…but they're just so good in terms of setup. The .2 PASM cars are full SUV, unfortunately…
.2 SPASM looks fine to me.

+1 for SPASM looking just right.... and consumable front splitters for the times when the 20mm matters

What to expect... (?) From the scheming stealers!
Taking my 2015 991.1 Blk/blk 4GTS (25k mis, 7MT, CPO to 6/21) for spring service to Porsche Monmouth/Jersey shore on Mon. 5/3...

Already got e-mails from a (sales) ''Project Mgr.'' that wants to discuss & buy my car! Knowing dealers business model: buy low,-mark up/wash-sell high on 911s....
what will he do: offer immediately or finesse a low-ball offer over a few days/ weeks? Not sure the market value on a 4GTS, new was $135.6k

How best to get a high offer, let me know... Love the GTS, sale is unlikely but what to get in a 911 anyway? (!)

Thx

I won't argue there! But is there really that much disparity between like-for-like 991.2 cars' fender gap/stance? I'll start to keep an eye out for differences... but truth be told I also have a REALLY hard time telling the difference between a wide-body and narrow-body visually so even the PASM cars don't look terrible to me.

Honestly if you're happy with the car you should really consider just staying where you're at, because you'd have to have a firm idea of what else you'd get if you did let go of your car. If you really want a 992 or 718 GT4/Spyder, then now would be the time.

Because look-

They're probably gonna try to sell your car over MSRP.

991 Targas are so expensive right now that a same-year, same-mileage 911 Turbo with a $50k-higher original MSRP can be had for less. I’ve been priced out of the market at this point so a new Boxster GTS 4.0 ordered to my specification is looking more and more like where I’ll end up - which is a hard thing to complain about! ;P

Since it seems like low-mile manuals are fetching higher prices (what I have as well), I am happily surprised at the asking prices for the two I posted since they have PDKs. But I don't know if they can really sell them because of the Stop Sale issue or if they are using them as a way to attract customers.

I could never include a drop top car with 2 hardtops so I would think you either want one of the other. I can say that after 2+ years with a Targa GTS, manual, it was hard to part ways with it but I was ready for a change - Spyder on order and I never considered a hard top.

My car was a huge stretch financially but the enjoyment can't be put into words, at least not by me... It seems some people would rather win a negotiation than drive the car they're searching for.
