Are these used, demos or new? How many miles on them, if used/demos? I would go for the S without hesitation.
I am town between two options right now and would like to know what you think. This will be a third, weekend car, mainly used for fun around town with the top down. It will not be tracked.
Option 1:
2012
Base 991 Cab
400 miles
PDK, Sports Chrono, heated seats, 14-way seats, BOSE, multifunction wheel
MSRP 112k
$91,000.00
Option 2:
2012
991 S Cab
3500 miles
PDK, Sports Chrono, Sports Exhaust, 18 way seats, PDCC, 5mm spacers, ventilated and heat seats, BOSE, sportdesign steering wheel
MSRP $132k
$106,000.00
What do you think? It is basically a $15,000 difference. I wanted to keep the price under $100,000 but am tempted to get that S, even though the base 991 has the two main options I wanted (PDK and Sports Chrono).

Do you plan on driving them in manual mode or just leaving them in auto?
The S has the sport steering wheel with proper paddles to change gears, and not the fiddly buttons which I found confusing.
I'd go with the S, 50 more horses and you'll never say..."I should have gone for the S".

Go for the S cab. I have the same spec car and love all of the options on the car...I believe they made launch cars with the same spec. I found the car on the lot and bought it as I would have ordered a car the same way & I got a good discount without waiting for it. When it's time to sell, you should be getting back some of the 15k difference.... Just my opinion.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention the 991 base is Racing Yellow and new. The S is black and used. My last edit didn't save I guess. Thanks ipad...
I really want yellow and they have agreed to switch out the wheels to the ones I want. If that used S were yellow than I would get it but have decided to go with the yellow C2. I figure it's new and a good deal so am buying.
. There are not too many yellow ones out there and a new yellow S would cost way too much compared to this deal. With the money saved I may add Sports Exhaust.
Thanks for the comments. Looking forward to taking delivery of this Racing Yellow 991! Anyone recommend a good shipping company?
If anyone wants that black S at a good price let me know!
