About 65k. Found it at a mercedes benz dealer down in Florida and the car checked out clean. Was my first dip into the 911 world....and its getting replaced sometime in the next 6 months with a Turbo or GT3...because I'm crazy.
Hello all. First post on Rennlist. STG...Great Thread. So happy to see you were able to bring it back to life.
Wanted to get everyone's opinion on the following car. It has an accident reported. I know most of you would say never touch a car that's been hit, but I am assuming that's at a certain price. I figure the car (no accident) would be sold for around $63-$68K. This one is listed at $60K. How much would you be willing to offer on this car assuming PPI was clean? I'm thinking $52K?
Carfax shows accident. Rear hit. No airbags deployed. Car was functional after accident.
Year: 2012 Make: Porsche Model: 911 S Mileage (numbers only please): 35669 Color: Black VIN:WP0AB2A92CS121113 Price (no $ sign please): $59942 Private or Dealer Listing: Dealer Listing Location (Region): NorthEast Body Style: Coupe Transmission Type: PDK
Thanks. Glad to be back and welcome!
This car has been in not one, but TWO accidents. First time ever seeing that in all my years here. Also, this car has seen more auctions than (insert joke here). Was trying to think of something funny.
I couldn't on good faith make any endorsements of this car.
Strange to me that the car wouldn't move quickly, Tony. It's a great car, great model, and in a highly desirable color with broad appeal.
That said, I wonder if it isn't a bit like a GT4 with aftermarket wing uprights and tinted windows that didn't light fires on BaT a while back—buyers can be funny and infer things from stuff like clear taillights, painted reflectors, aftermarket wheels, etc. Reverting to stock on those three items might broaden your appeal significantly—this thought offered respectfully!

Springs, flash tunes, Vorsteiner this or that, bypass pipes, etc .. return $0 and I'd actually argue reduces value.
Thank you for your comments Pete & George^^. Deposit recieved on this GTS by a fellow RL'r. Forgot to ask if he found this GTS on eBay , RL marketplace or here on the HFS thread. The local Porsche dealer doesn't do PPI's (?) so buyer contracted a local Indy and thats where I'll be tomorrow. Fortunately the buyer loves all of the mods performed on the car and also wants the original wheels to stay with. T
A few months ago, I purchased my 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S as a CPO car from a Porsche dealer here in Massachusetts and I absolutely love it. ADORE it! I have owned many, many cars and I have never connected with a car as much as I have with this one. But, one of the main purposes of this car is for it to be used an enjoyable vessel in which my wife, my sons (age 9 and 10) and I embark on our weekly weekend getaways and numerous Cars and Coffee events. I want a GT3 but not willing to give up those rear seats for the boys to ride along. It just isn't the same without my two little dudes coming along for the ride. Well, a very sad thing has happened. My 9 year old says his legs cramp in the back seat after 10 minutes of driving in it and my 10 year old (who is 5'3" already) has forced my wife to sit with her knees pressed against the dash. Naturally, I let me lust for the 991.1S blur my judgement. I should have known this would happen. Long story short, I must part with this beauty and I am hoping an RL'er can ****** it up. This car is a bit of a unicorn... Carrera S, Platinum color, Sport Chrono, Sport Design (ducktail!!), and other very highly desirable features. Only 38K miles and CPO remaining for over 1.5 years. Back in May, MFonseca was looking to buy this car but I beat him to it (see thread here: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1070...ice-check.html). The only modifications done to the car before I bought it are the smoked clear tails, smoked lights everywhere else, paint protection film covering all the frequently-chipped areas and the H&R springs.

Since I have had it in my possession, I have done the following:
* Driven it almost 3K miles (loved every second)
* Replaced the steering wheel (all black leather non-multifunction) for a genuine Porsche black and aluminum Alcantara Sport Design steering wheel (cost me $1,100)
* Replaced the shift **** and boot with a genuine Porsche Alcantara shift **** and boot (cost me $550)
* Replaced the center console armrest with a genuine Porsche Alcantara shift **** and boot with Porsche Crest embossed logo. (cost me $300)
* Full Feynlabs Ceramic Coating (cost me $1,100)
* Added brushed silver key fob cover to match car (sort of)
* Added magnetic phone mount (RennLine)
While I did add 3K miles and 3 months of ownership, I more than negated that by adding the excellent alcantara parts to the car and doing the ceramic coating. I still have the original parts too, so if you want to, you could restore to stock and sell the Alcantara bits for almost $2K to offset the cost. I am asking $76,900

Good luck. I paid about that for my '13 almost two years ago with 25k on it and a MSRP about $10k more than yours. And that was from a dealer with a fresh CPO.
Thanks for the kind words, CaymanSinAR. Wing Commander, I just upgraded to Rennlist Member as I didn't realize I was unable to post otherwise. Thanks for pointing that out! I also just posted in the Marketplace.
