it calculates to something less than $10k. But there are several assumptions in there because you can't order off the floor the exact same car?

The unfortunate thing with this process that PCA is doing is you'll end up with a couple on the lot that people backed out on at the last minute when the car arrived.

Ah, yes, good point. PTS would be $5500. So a $10k premium for the cool stitching, and a few other styling features, sounds good.

Plus there's the intrinsic value of getting a paint color that you can't order (just like the 50th Anni edition).

The base club coupe is $137K. Adding 18 way seats, Bose, Premium Package and PDK brings it to around $148K. You can do the build, starting with a $115K base GTS, but with the same options, it is greater than a $10K premium for sure. See previous posts...

My personal situation and thinking going into this is that since I have a long standing relationship with my local Porsche dealer incl history of multiple purchases and also of having my cars serviced in/out of warranty there after sales, why would that dealership not congratulate a long time customer winner and accept just a modest profit and while also gaining the income from servicing said vehicle as well as maintaining good will that long time customer and his many referrals over the years . It is a unit they could otherwise never have obtained to sell and service , so it is a monetized gift from PCNA to them , essentially.

IOW , the tables are turned as the buyer has the allocation !

Plus I last bought another vehicle from them just last summer , not a few years ago.

YMMV

besides the GT and Turbo cars, when did the regular 911's get so expensive? For $150k i'd rather have a GT3. I'm waiting for the 911 50th to get closer to $100k.

Depends on how you view the PTS color but I would disagree... this build below is as close as you can get a GTS to the Club Coupe with standard features below. $131k vs $137k for the Club Coupe which is $6k premium for the unique model specific features like the Sport Classic wheels, Club Coupe badges (interior/exterior), special steering wheel, center compartment lid, etc. That doesn't seem to far out of line to me given Porsche option pricing.

analyses aside , the 60 CC is the only factory wide body RWD " GTS "

Vise

You mean aside from the normal 911 GTS right?

mikemdd

I assume you understand that sticker comes out to $148k.... Only the top part is $137k..the options listed are extra.

Vise

Obviously. Options are extra same as a normal GTS or any other Porsche. My point was the base Club Coupe itself with standard equipment is only $6k more than a similarly equipped GTS.

If you were to add the rest of the options listed below the comparable GTS build would still be just $6k less given the options are the same price on either model. Point being that the Club Coupe premium is $6k over a similarly equipped GTS when you factor in the additional items that come standard.

mikemdd

Agreed. If you were intending to order a paint to sample GTS, the premium is around 6k. Compared to a normal GTS, which will be the comparison years from now, it is $11.5k. That means the paint needs to be really important. Generally, cars become classics, not paint. We can analyze many ways, but in the end, the value to the buyer is all that counts. I say go for it, if money is not important, as I may if selected, and enjoy. That is what counts.

Curious about what you guys would choose, I entered but did not get an email, still a chance one comes Monday, so still may have to make this choice.

Would you swap out a Geyser Grey 50th for the Club model? 50th was ordered to my spec, so no conflict w config. This is the internal debate I've been having all week. I just can't justify 2 of pretty much the same car. Have lots of other Porsches, so thats not the issue. So which would you pick?

-Club coupe is more rare
-50th is more unique, green gauges, houndstooth, chrome grills
-same wheels on both
-Like the duckbill, but the Aerokit front bumper is fussy
-Love the bright blue paint, like bright cars.
-same power, guess I could get a pdk for something different

At this point I would lean to the 50th, but not sure if that would hold if I got the call.......

Frankly, if I had a 50th 911 Anniversary, I would not sell it to get the 60th PCA Anniversary. Although I love the 'Club Blau' exterior color, the 50th's interior is so special - green dials, pepita / houndstooth inserts, beautiful stitching plus the embroidered dual color model designation on seat- that it would be my pick! But that's a very personal opinion and you need to go with your gut feeling, not anyone else's. But my simple advice is that you should appreciate more what you already have...and be very content! The interior of the 50th 911 Anniversary is one of the most impressive & memorable that I have ever seen on a Porsche. It will become a classic and very desirable in the long term. Trust me on this.

Agree with Ed that 50th 991 is already a classic. Don't sell it, but you can always add a club coupe if you get called.

For me, the decision is much easier. I WANT to have 2 club coupes.
