Great story and congrats STG on the number one thread. Hope to join you all soon, assuming I can escape the 997 GT3 bug that has (re) stung me I guess a 991 would still be a very nice comfortable companion to that car.

 

I defer to the experts but isn't this priced a tad high?

Looks awesome though! Nice options!

 

I think it is also a bit high, by about $5-10k. Love the build though.

 

this car is local to me. Very nice build. It was a local trade in on a turbo and it has been sitting there for a while. Close to 3 months I believe. They initially had it listed for 135k with CPO, but then lowered the price by taking the CPO off. Then lowered another 5k. It has a lot of carbon fiber bits that make the price pretty high. 139 msrp I believe. No SPASM. They are the only porsche dealer in Austin and aren't known for striking the best deals.

 

Thanks, this is very helpful. I've been watching this thread and seeing GTS' going for $20-25K off MSRP, it seems that's a long shot on this one.

 

It's a long shot until it's been on the lot for 3+ months and then the average I want the newest version person wants a 991.2 Carerrra or gts and then this drops another 15k in price they will have to pride to sell. I have seen 991 TT sell at 120-130 and it's not like this is a rare gem with manual.

Cannot believe it was that high msrp and no spasm.

 

The GTS only has 1,100 miles (to it's benefit). It is a bit over optioned which will hurt its depreciation more.

I would demand a CPO for another 2yrs warranty. I think this car should be selling for $120K with a CPO. I wouldn't pay more. The red interior is hurting it, and if it was a manual it would be an easier sell.

Drive it another 4K miles, and you'd be lucky to get $100K on it as a trade in from the same dealer 6 months later. A lot of quick downside on this one still.

Has it really gotten to the point that manuals are selling better than PDK or is it just limited to the GTS?

 

Jerry991, I think it is likely more nuanced than that PDK/Manual issue? Yes, a manual in the GTS is probably more desirable, but it also has to do with very limited supply because less than 1 in 10 991s have a manual in them. So, a limited run of GTS cars + a MT makes them sell like hot cakes. Also, with the GT4 lifting the desire for Manuals in P cars, when one does pop up that is well equipped, it is more sought after in combination with the last NA motors we are ever going to see in any Porsches. At least, I believe that is the thinking . . .

 

Vintage72, well said ^^^


PDK demand and production eclipses manuals. Just at the current time, there is a lot of demand for GTS manuals in the enthusiast circles.

 

I am not sure if this one has already been mentioned, but a white C2S is listed at $73.9k with only 3k miles on Audi Porsche of Southampton; I can't post links here, so the VIN is WP0AB2A94CS120576 if anyone is interested. No PSE and SC, unfortunately.

 

It has a good price, but I think both the option and interior color do not attract people very much. However, it is still a 911 S.

 

Wonder what's wrong with this one .... 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS- $79900 | 5400 miles VIN: WP0AB2A90FS124547 Global Motors VIP Smyrna, GA 888-676-0598

I also saw it today. The dealer does not provide with Carfax for the car, and I think it probably has the "reason" for the price.

 

Trust me. Nothing good. Could be one of those scam ads too. Don't even bother.
