Apparently so did whoever reserved it - assuming it wasn't you. Generally speaking, CARMAX seems to have the best pricing on 991s, so when a car gets posted on their site, it's usually gone within an hour. Their 7-day return policy makes it relatively easy to reserve one as soon as it appears, hopefully spend no more than a couple hundred bucks on shipping, then have a PPI and return it if the car doesn't meet your expectations.
Actually it was me that reserved it. It is being brought over to LAX to check it out with no shipping fee since it is only cross county
The appeal with the T to me is that it can be spec'd with ceramics and lwb. The lesser optioned T’s just don’t do it for me. I know they are “rare” but not special with the small brakes and everything else pretty the same
Was looking for a 911 Turbo S because of its [size=13px]ceramics brakes- Im tired of cleaning wheels[/size]. And I also love the rocket ship power of course. I do love ceramics because at 76, my 911 is only for Sunny day blasts and car meets. Very little track use, so PCCBs would be best for me too.
But the Turbo S will have to wait till the market returns to normal. Last Summer I found the ideal 2019 911 Turbo S that had all the right options for incl AeroKit in Black. It was offered CPO with 7k miles for $48k below MSRP. But the market was already starting to jump. I got into that dealer to talk trade, they told me the price had jumped $15k and low balled their trade offer. They said they price to the market daily. This month I found an almost [size=13px]duplicate[/size] 2019 Turbo S at a nearby dealer and they want $10k below MSRP for one that is a year older now. Hmm. Id hate to see the ADMs on new ones right now.
So to hold me over, I bought a 2015 Macan Turbo for a daily driver, and car meets when its raining. While installing new PS S4s last month, I also installed Hawk ceramic pads from Tire Rack. They help, but not as much as PCCBs. Not much track use for me, so ceramics would be perfect for that zero brake dust utopia.
Has anyone traded in their car to carvana/carmax/autonation? I got a decent offer from autonation of 66,500$. Im tempted to let the car go.

What year and how many miles?
I am not sure the bearing of the stop sale on private party sales or non-Porsche dealer sales - if any.
If you don't want to sell it private party, why not sell it to one of the many Porsche resellers? Ryan Friedman, Grand Prix, UDrive, etc.

Does not seem like a bad offer. May I ask at what auto nation/ region you got this offer from?
What is a Porsche reseller? Are you referring to a used car dealership? Who is "Grand Prix"... Porsche reseller?
Thanks
If you look at Autotrader/eBay/Cars.com/etc. for 997 & 991s you will find the majority of available cars are generally offered by a select few small used car dealerships. Examples:
The business model seems to be finding good cars direct from owners (or various other sources), paying a fair price, and then listing the car for a 15-20K premium over wholesale and waiting for the right buyer. Without a doubt they have some nice cars on offer.
I have no affiliation besides having sold a few Porsches to these kind of dealers. They pay in between Carmax and retail. I value smooth transactions over maximum dollar, so it's worked for me.
