HOT FOR SALE: Pick of the Week 991
#466
It would come on and stay on. After leaving the car sit for a while, sometimes it wouldn't be there (the fan would run) and then a few minutes later it stopped again and the fault would return.
Took it into the dealer. They said it was a loose connection and fixed it under warranty.
The next day, the fault (and the stopped fan) came back again. The dealer then replaced the entire fan unit under warranty.
I haven't had the fault return and it has been a few months (well, since before Le Mans which is apparently how I remember things now that I have become absorbed into an obsession and love with Porsche this past year hahaha) and several road trips (and an autocross day!).

50K view milestone on this thread in only 5 months. I'm shocked, and I thought just a handful of guys looked at this.
What started out as something on a whim, has obviously blossomed into something relatively popular. There must be a lot of guys looking for cars, or just like to look at them like myself. I guess what's represented here gives a nice snapshot at the current market and features some of the more unique and nice 991's out there. I think the 991.1 will be considered a classic as the last NA street 911.
The 993's are considered the last of the "pure" 911's, but the 991 is a great representation of the evolution of the 911 and another "last" in the NA engine. Very classic design and sharply refined. Very nice lines that flow well without too much animation. Flys under the radar sometimes, but that the way I like it. I wouldn't like the attention some of the other cars get out there.
The 991 does it's job well and is the most well rounded sports car out there. Plus, I love the rear engine. Such a great driving experience.
I'm proud to be part of the group here with a bunch of great enthusiasts. Hopefully some of the lurkers can start posting more too. The 991 board is by far the BEST and most active board I've seen. Thanks to all the "regulars" that post and just view the boards.
At 45yrs old, I just got my first 911 a year ago. Owned a couple Cayenne GTS's before that, but finally got the prize. Have loved the 911 since junior high school.
Too much writing. Back to the cars.
Happy and safe driving...

Here's a local car but I'm not really impressed with the dealership. Tried working with them before I bought my recent 991 and my 997 before that but felt as if I wasn't quite the type they wanted to spend 60 seconds with, much less 5 minutes. That's why I went out of state both times. If other dealerships hadn't treated me like a king I'd have thought being treated like a nuisance was to be expected.
What do you think? Price?

I'm looking to get back into a Porsche and I just walked away from a car I really liked because I had such a miserable experience at my local dealer.
I'd love to find a dealer that will provide a good experience.
Loving this thread BTW thanks STG991 for keeping it going. I'm sure I add 20 views a day to your totals.

Ummmm.. Tell the cheapskates to CPO the car. It's a 2013. Price would be ok with a CPO warranty. Not a steal, but fair. Love the Agate.
I hate arrogant dealerships. Up in WA there, there are a lot of Microsoft millionaires I assume. Good for you taking your business elsewhere.

For sure don't want to tromp on STG991's great work and territory, but did want to alert the group to a host of NEW 911s offered at discounts from about 5% off MSRP to nearly 15% off, again for brand new cars: http://www.herbchambersporscheofbost...089a4f9fa923cb
It's a massive link but I did a compare of all the 911s (including Turbos) offered at this dealer at stated discounts to MSRP.
I have no affiliation and in fact have never even been to this dealer, though the Herb Chambers name is known to anyone in the greater Boston area (though I live in the greater NY area).
Enjoy the discounts...and who knows, you might be able to do even better if you're ready to buy.

The car would be sitting in my driveway if they'd have given me the time of day.

Full disclosure - I have not completed a purchase transaction with them but it's only because they didn't have the right cars at the right time. I'll go back and try again for the next one (new or used).
And their asking price is high in my opinion. It is a sweet build however.
(Edit - it also appears to have quite a bit of deviated stitching even though there is no listing for this in the description.)

991 Carrera S's can now be had for the mid 70's nicely optioned. Being a huge step above a base Carrera, it's pretty much an easy choice.
For instance, this one is even has a Porsche CPO warranty and only 17K miles. (There's many more examples too).
991 C2S mid 70K's? No brainer for those looking a preowned and on a budget.
http://www.champion-motors.com/web/i...ehicle23999415
++ Important notes ++
** In the 75-80K range, 991 C2S's with less than 20K miles can be had with some nice options. Savings of 40K+ off sticker can be realized. Spending 10-15K more here than used base Carrera's is the best money you'll ever spend.
Seeking more unique, lower mileage or newer 991 S's can also take you to the 85-100K range. Still at significant 30-40K savings.
There are so many options and different MSRP cars out there. You have to judge each car in it's own. It's hard making a blanket statement many times. A 991 Carrera S can have a sticker from 112K to 155K+ depending on options! The higher optioned cars DO depreciate at a higher %. Options over the 135K mark depreciate a lot more than anything under that. I'd say anything over the 135K build depreciate at least 70%. So the 155K build's extra 20K options will take a lot bigger hit. Make sense? These cars all get bunched together at resale and you have 120K builds being averaged in with some higher ones with equilibrium preowned pricing.
If at all possible, always take advantage of Porsche's CPO warranty. Extends the original warranty by 2 more years and up to 100K miles. Whatever comes first.
