Default 2016 Base Carrera MT to 2018 Carrera S PDK

Can anyone give me insight for how much more money is too much to make the jump? My ‘16 is in excellent condition without a single rattle on the inside. Wonderful to drive. But I’m wanting a PDK in the city with 991.2 tune ability. 31k miles on my car seems to get about $70k trade in. 2018 with 10k miles are going for about $120k. 25k miles for $110k.

Your opinion is very appreciated. Cheers to a beautiful weekend.

Why do you want an S?

If I were in your position - I’d get 991.2 base, compared to your 2016 it would feel like a Turbo S and you can still tune it beyond that. I don’t think the cash difference between the new S and your base is worth it.

Is there much acceleration difference between base and S, ‘17-‘19? Non-S saves about $20k. I’ve read about LSD. Can you tell when you have it versus when you don’t? Mine sounds like it’s binding a little when reversing while sharply turning.

Thanks for your input.

I went from a 2017 991.2 base PDK w/o Sport Chrono to a 991.2 2018 S PDK w/ Sport Chrono. Very noticeable difference :-)

The S I’ve found has great options, including rear steering. Thanks for your perspective.

We can get you taken care of if you want to go the Fabspeed route, or other routes like Soul / Akrapovic.
