Found it. Spent 10 irritating minutes on the phone tracking it down. Don't have time for more calls. All looks good from what I see. More research can yield a nice buy if all checks out.

Thompson sold Audi/VW/POrsche up until about a month ago. Audi was making Thompson remodel their showroom and they decided it would be cheaper just to sell Audi/Porsche to Sloane automotive group.

Thompson I believe sold the VW dealership to another of local dealer too. When they broke up that location they also had to take most of the Audi/Porsche used and demo inventory with them. So that is why you see the GTS at that location. Thompson is a great organization.

That may actually be Mr. Bean's car. He's got about 15 brands give or take a couple. Looks like it was a 12 month lease.

I think some of you guys on here are more critical and do more background work on cars listed here than the women you probably dated in the past!

I feel the price increase and general entry point of 911's is what is now slowing down 991.2 sales.

For example in Canada the MSRP increase was $10k over base 991.1 and as many enthusiasts love their 997.2's its a hard jump up to the 991.2 (vastly different 911) over the car they already have. Secondly, for 991.1 owners like myself, I simply can't justify the additional $$$ for fractional improvements over what I have already. The 991.1 is still so damn good.

Build sheet says multifunction steering wheel and steering wheel heating. It looks like the car on the pic has sport design steering wheel. Can you have heating on sport design steering wheel?

Nice catch! They probably swiped it out. Can you blame them? The Sport wheel in the pics is NOT the multifunction. Also does not come heated.

I am actually sitting in the dealership as I type this - picking up a new airport car - pics to follow on the appropriate thread. They tell me it was traded in last Friday on a GTI - when I asked why, the answer was something about not driving it much and needing to free up money for something. The sales mgr offered it to me for $112k.

It looked pretty clean to me. No wheel dings, no paint chips that I spotted. The side windows are tinted; the tint was trimmed a bit far from the top of the glass in my opinion. The headlights looked like they might be tinted too.

This is a nice fresh CPO 2012 991 manual tranny and clean Carfax C2S with 5800 mi for $75.9k. Doesn't have sport exhaust, park assist, premium pkg plus or vented seats, but has the other options that were on my wishlist. I would try to get the price lower if interested in this one...

Too bad they didn't buy that Porsche dealership in St. Louis before it sold to Indigo.

Do you frequent the St. Louis Porsche dealer?
