Not sure what your budget is. Autotempest makes it easy to input your search criteria and get results from various sources very quickly.
You can click on the Autotrader and Cargurus buttons on the side of the Autotempest search and it'll automatically take you to those websites with the search criteria still in tack for more sources.

Also, check Edmunds as they'll have some difference options as well.

Recent data point, in December I purchased a CPO 2016 4GTS manual with 26k miles for $94k plus taxes. Its a cabriolet but had much the same building sheet as your proposed purchase. Total MSRP was just over $148k.
Given the market and recent bids on BaT, the asking price isn't outrageous. Worth it to you is another question. It was to me.

so a Porsche that did not break down in 10k miles of city driving, sorry ....
Sorry I missed this. A buddy of mine's wife has a 2016 GTS with over 80K miles on it (it's her daily). Zero issues with the car.

Buy a 2017 - 2019 S. It will blow away that GTS. And you can tune the turbo's with greater results than NA.
Not a fan of GTS, a little hoekee (whatever that means) for my taste.

let me guess, you're a 0-60 guy? And drives a PDK?

I am a big fan of NA engines... high revving too. I still own the E92 M3, which I will never sell. I had the GT350R with the 8500 red line... that was a screeeeaamer. And as long as I can move my left leg, I will buy manual. Always

I bought a used 2015 GTS in 2018. Only one minor issue so far and if you do a search, some owners of the 991.1 and 991.2 have had it. A simple fix as I just replaced the O-ring a few weeks ago. Some owners have also had water pump issues, also an easy fix.

As for the car, great choice if that is what you are after. At the time, I could have bought a new 991.2 for less money simply because my GTS had 98 miles on it and came with $45,620 in factory options, but there were two things I did not want: a turbo and a PDK.

Stick to your guns! I too own an E92 LRPE edition which I'll never sell, I want to but can't pull the trigger...love it too much. Stock except a Dinan elbow and, recently, an Eventuri plenum...holy Mother of Induction Sound!!!
The GTS is '15...the only area we differ is with our choice of transmissions.
NA for life!!!

Off topic, but did that bring any power gains or just noise ? I am tracking the M3 and considering one of those smooth elbows ...

The elbow supposedly adds a few, the Eventuri plenum just noise which is modulated with the throttle. It's worth every penny, either way.
As for tracking, once you purchase and take few track laps in the 911 GTS you'll forget all about tracking the M3...so don't waste your money there. In terms of everyday theatrics, the M3 performs superbly...once on track is painfully obvious that it's a lesser car all around in terms of weight, handling, brakes...

Put me in the same boat. 991.1 GTS, NA2 NSX, E92 M, and a Cobra with a Coyote. There is no substitute for the recipe of RWD, manual transmission, analog dash, and a rev-happy NA engine. I bought a new M2 and hated the sound of it, hated the unnatural power delivery, and hated all the interior tech. Sold it within 3 months of driving off the dealer's lot.

I didn't add the 10yr old DD (328xi) that I have, with its whopping 240HP and silky smooth inline 6 linear power delivery and analog gauges. I've been asked to sell it multiple times....nope!
The wife does drive a turbo 535GT but there's a black sheep in every flock.

Back on topic - OP happy .1 GTS hunting!!
The local dealer recently appraised mine for insurance purposes...$115k they said (MSRP $146k), 17k miles.

This put a bit of doubt in my mind... I can get one for under 100k , with warranty still...manual ,grey... With tuning, this will be quicker than the GTS.. they are at 420HP from factory, versus 430 of the GTS...
Decisions, decisions. I have a PPI scheduled Sat on the GTS, I still have time to decide
