Signed my paperwork today and hope to have it shipped to me this week. I'm in ny, car in Florida - dealer was a pleasure to deal with and Mike Ludes (salesman)was a gentleman. I've had a deposit on this car for almost a month. They didn't rush me because I was in the midst of transferring my e63 for 6 weeks. Mercedes took 6 weeks to handle the paperwork. Ridiculous. But no more whining, getting my first Porsche very very soon. Paid 111,712. I think more than fair for Me considering I almost bought a new 147 msrp gts vert for 129,999. I'll gladly save almost 20 k for 6,200 miles
Pics to be posted as soon as she arrives.
The knowledge this thread has taught me is amazing. 7 months ago I had a salesman tell me porsches don't really depreciate and they should all be sold at Msrp because of their amazing resale. I guess he doesn't subscribe to this thread...
Thanks again, brothers!
My only problem is im now fully addicted to looking at these listings so who knows who long I will keep my gts. White was not my first choice. But the two tone interior sold me.
Longtime lurker, rare poster. Discovered this beauty of a gts through my obsessive searches.

Not "el cheapo", but did you see this one? I live half an hour from the dealer and can at least check it out in person, but not sure about test driving it since I will likely have my son will me.
We had snow pellets yesterday, so the dealer might be flexible on the price to avoid sitting on it until the spring!
^I just saw this car, and took a quick test drive since I did not have my son
The exterior is not in great shape, with a couple pretty deep gouges, surface scratches, and some curb-damaged wheels.
The interior is in good shape, but WAY too much red for me
The car feels solid; I did not notice any creaks/rattles. I have not driven a manual in 2+ years and could have gone either manual/PDK on my C2S, and the short drive made me love PDK even more
I am including the contact info for the salesman, Jack, in case anyone is interested. Feel free to ask me for any additional info, whether here or via PM.

[...] Horizontal scratches and rub mark
REDRUM! REDRUM!
Thank you so much! And for the contact info.
For me beaten is a bit better since I want to DD it anyway. Black and the harsh red are a different matter, though. The car is expensive enough that I would have an eye on how easy to resell a car would be.
Still might be a good lowball victim when the first snow falls.
Could you make a full-res version of the photo of the interior available?
I am hoping prices fall in Jan/Feb. Looking to pull the trigger before spring, but the prices are just stupid IMO. No idea how they are still pulling in the mid $120's for GTS.
Thanks. It was a great excuse to take a kid-free drive, and help out fellow HFSers

95% of the swirls/scratches can probably be buffed out; Rick at UCC does great work if you can get ahold of him.
The gouges on the rear-passenger quarter and rear bumper were legit; I am guessing the previous owner parked by something made out of brick/concrete.
Even swapping a black steering wheel and armrest would likely make a huge difference.
