991.1 C2 or C2S MT with at most 50k miles, clean title, no accidents and low, but not zero specs: Bose and 14 or 18way seats.
(I read controversial opinions about the adaptive mirrors, I loved it in my former car, but nobody was using high beams during daytime as they do in NJ ).
I don't really care for the higher priced options like (S)PASM, PDCC, SC or PSE.

I've been looking at the ads for quite a while, but I don't think there was a good (or even an OK) one in the last 2-3 months.
From what I've seen, and having recently bought... 65k to low 70s on a 991.1 C2S MT under 50k miles would be a good deal.

Upper 50's (C2) to Mid 60's (C2S) would be a decent deal IMO. I know many will beg to differ, but I also wasn't interested in the options you listed. They add so much complexity, which only translates to headaches and big $ failures later on, assuming you are holding long term. I like to keep it simple, my console only has 3 buttons.

I am basically looking for a C2 for about 50-55k or a C2S for (55k)-60k-(65k). I wanted to know whether this is completely unrealistic or if there is hope Thanks for all the answers!
If I wasn't looking for an MT I would have bought one long ago I think.

Its totally doable, but the mileage will be on higher side. See the last link "White 911" I just posted above. Some say the manuals command a higher premium, but my research hasn't really shown that. There are just a lot more pdk cars to choose from, which is pathetic and upsetting when you think about the future, and 911 enthusiast ignorance as to the whole point of fun in a car, but I digress. I gave up on trying to find a manual a while ago.

I guess I’m to impatient. I was looking for a manual too, but when I found a good deal on my PDK I bought it. My thinking is that I’ll keep looking & if I find the right deal on the right car, I’ll buy it and sell the PDK car. I’m just more content with the PDK than I thought I would be, so I’m not searching as hard.

That's probably the better way to do it, except that you need to pay sales tax twice (if you don't reside in those few awesome states). I'm just too frugal to do that.

I haven't seen this one listed yet. Looks like a nice .1 GTS, especially if you're not a huge fan of alcantara (alcantara delete on this one).

It has a ding on the Carfax "minor damage" reported on the rear of the car. As long as the repair was done well and passed a PPI without uncovering any underlying issues or bodywork, it could be a good bargaining chip.

2016 Carrera 4 GTS

I live just down the road from Mike Ward McLaren and know a couple of the sales reps, in case anyone here is interested and wants me to have a closer look at it for them.

I was thinking about looking at that one today, but works not cooperating at this point. My problem is I'm kinda set on a cab, and just not a fan of the Rhodium Silver. Does seem reasonably priced considering the GTS market right now. I've been trying to get more info on the accident, but nothing yet.

Agreed. I think price is indicative of the ding on the Carfax.

There was a gorgeous .2 Targa 4 GTS at an Audi dealer just north of Denver about a month ago, but it went fast. I have a buddy who has a 997.2 C2S cab and is looking at 991 cabs and Targa's, but it slipped away before we could go have a look.

If you're set on a cab, you might be able to more GTS for your money going that route vs. a coupe, especially if you're not crazy about the silver.

If you do end up checking it out, please report back.

Will do! Yeah, Targa 4 GTS would work. This one in Vail looks pretty nice, https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ckType=listing if only it had the Alcantara delete.. Probably closely spec'd to the one at the Audi dealer. A little cheaper too, if I remember correctly.
