I’ll sell you my 2018 991.2 4s coupe manual for 120k. Maybe. Haha. Yeah it is a great car and currently sleeping in my garage in NH. If you are coming from a base 991.1, the turbo sixes have will feel very powerful and they rev like a NA engine. Very nice IMO.

Not a terrible price. But there’s a number of CPO 2017 4S out there for $110-120k though I’m sure with higher mileage. I’m a bit picky on my next 911: cab, agate/chalk or silver, sport exhaust are musts. Slim pickings out there!

There are a few where I live (Boston area) but mostly PDK and multiple owner cars. Good or bad, who knows! Mine is night blue with a full leather interior in chalk/blue and looks stunning.

I’m a little biased As others have mentioned the GT cars as a way to help shoulder long term depreciation, I would urge you to step up to a 991.2 Turbo S if you want back seats and slightly better long term value - although not as depreciation resistant as the GT cars. I know that’s even more budget, but I think the 991.2 Turbo S will give you the best overall value in one tidy package. Plus, with full bolt ons they are bat **** crazy fast.

What makes you want the AWD in a 4S? Feels like we need to answer that question first.

In threads like this it’s far too common for replies to throw out all variations of the 911 without asking OP to define their requirements first.

Will be driven year-around (DC Area) but my 991.1 base faired fine with winter tires. Overall I want to buy the best car for my budget with some consideration for least depreciation.

As the World turns it's difficult to understand why anyone would look at any high end car with "long term value" in mind. I think this past year and a half has proved the point. There's no telling what any of our cars will be worth if things continue along the path they're on. They all could be worth more than anticipated or have the same value as giant paperweights if the green movement has their way. Buy what you enjoy driving in the here and now. Heck you may never want to part with it if it's that good. If you're looking for some scientific evidence of historic depreciation, I believe there's a guy out in the ethers of the internet that does this. He has a YT channel. But for me, I'd never buy this type of vehicle while considering depreciation. I buy it for the fun factor and what will make me smile the most. Life is too short to look back with regrets.

I have a 19 C4S MT slick top and love it. The targa is heavier and not as stiff but if you're not going constantly track it it's not a thing. Get what you want.

Would spec my car the same but I would add the club leather interior.

If this 911 ticks your boxes mostly you should give it heavy consideration. 991.2s like this are hard to find.

Mileage is low and truly my 991.2 S engine didn’t really feel free until 10k.

I have PASM and it’s fine. In fact the front spoiler rubs easily if you aren’t careful. Lowering it another 10 mm would be even more rubbing.

It will be gone soon.
