That's a great price for sure! But it seems cabs usually go for less than coupes on the secondary market and the TTS'S more than the TT'S so not sure it's a truly fair comparo.
I obviously paid Covid pricing for my TTS, but at the time I bought it, it was one of the best priced ones in the nation, just due to the higher mileage. I was OK with that because I was able to see and drive the car and not have to deal with shipping, etc.
I agree and I personally think the coupes look better than cabs, regardless of the 911 model. But being in SoCal, need to have the top down!

I was originally looking at 997 cabs but ended up buying a 991 cab. I think they look good top up or down. Much closer to the coupe profile than any previous model. That and the interior is a big step up.
Thanks for sharing this! Would you/anyone happen to know if there are any differences with Canadian builds? Looks like this one got imported from Canada back in Dec 2021. Not sure if changes anything but I will take a closer look.
@awpsome, so I actually did some digging on this as I noticed another car I had been watching was imported from Canada. So it seems that Canadian cars are identical to US cars (and any remaining manufacturer warranty is good in the US as Porsche NA covers both US and Canada). Also, it seems that car fax shares data between the US and Canada. It seems that the main downside is that eventually selling the car may be more difficult (due to uncertainty about Canadian original origin) and will likely go for less, so the original purchase price should be better than other comp's to reflect this.
amended - apparently fidelity will warranty a canadian car if it meets certain conditions (see 991 fidelity thread).
I'm looking at a 991 at a dealer that is part of the Sonic automotive group, and the salesman implied that if they've only had the car a short time they are not inclined to take offers. Anyone dealt with a Sonic owned dealership?

They don’t take offers at all. Pricing is like carmax.
Data point comes in - picked up a 2017 CPO Carrera 2 Coupe today. 20k miles. Excellent condition, both cosmetically and mechanically. It's a well-optioned base with ~$116k MSRP that includes PSE, SC, 14 Ways, Premium Pkg Plus, Bose.
Got it for $89k, which I thought it's a good deal considering the option, condition and CPO.
Local dealer has had this 991.1 GT3 on the lot for several weeks now. They've lowered the price at least once and it's getting into "I'm tempted" range:
I saw it in person and it definitely has miles on it but it's by no means in bad shape. Nice color combo, though as much as I like black/red not sure if I dig the red emblems. That's fixable though. How do we feel about a 41K-mile GT3?
It's reassuring that it has 41k miles on the clock, but I would still feel much better if I knew it had the "G" engine in it, even with the CPO. The engine warranty expires in 2 years for that one, so, just buyer beware. I'm not particularly a fan of black, but she's still a nice looking GT3.

I don't know much about 991 generation engines but I'll have to climb down that rabbit hole. The 991 thread in this forum doesn't list any major scares but I guess it's because the GT3 models are broken out. I'll have to hop over there and research. Yeah, this is a 3.8 not the 4.0L so that definitely makes it somewhat less desirable...

The 991.1 GT3 had bad engine problems. The early ones were all replaced pro-actively. The next batches had a 10 year warranty put on them, until near the end.
