Thank you and thanks again for the color guessing present, STG.
Now I only need to do that Actual Buying thing that everybody else talks about so much. I hear that helps it lot in acquiring a car. And it seems recommended to do that before your current lease runs out...
Oh and the spousal sanity check unit has vetoed Racing Yellow, so I need a new... color.
Some great HFS deals here. Anyone have experience swapping out the hideous stock steering wheel for the Porsche Design wheel after the fact? What is approx cost to do that?
Thanks!
I did, yeah. It's such a nice design. It's a bit thicker too. Like a BMW M wheel. This is actually the newer 991.2 wheel. It was costly though with the airbag. About $2.5K costly. Worth it to me. Love it.
Daily driver class Cabrio. Cheaper, higher miles, maybe a small ding or two outside. No trashed interior. Base model OK. c2/c2s probably preferred (never drove a 991 c4/c4s).
Full leather very important unless it has both white instrument dials and SC. If PDK then SC is a must. Heated steering wheel highly valued.
Colors: no yellow. Guards red probably not. Blue and green preferred.
Disclaimer: might still buy a 981 GTS or whereabouts.
How about blue on blue? Gulf Blue PTS with a Yachting Blue interior!

Seems like an awesome deal actually, considering it's an S, 2015, with low mileage, and in a cool color...
Personally, I think Sport Chrono is a must-have (and can't be added) on PDK cars, but on a manual, I'd consider a car without it. You lose the auto-blip rev matching, which some drivers hate anyway, but not nearly as transformational to the car as it is on PDK cars...

Sounds easy, right?
Green will be nearly impossible to find. I am a HUGE sapphire blue fan and they can be very challenging to find, especially with certain options (although I LOVE that color). Easiest to find is black, silver, or white.
What price range are you looking at? PDK/SC is pretty easy to find - heated steering wheel might make it a little more difficult.
I will allow this one as a Hot Deal. Plastic interior, but it is manual and it is pretty with this discontinued Aqua Blue and the satin platinum CS wheels. Hot deal-ish because of low miles and < $70,000.

Heated steering wheel, PDK W/sport chrono, super high miles (50,677 miles!), asking $60k....not full leather, though, although you swap the dials to white if you desired...
Squid, you have quite a wide net. You should be able to find a car pretty easily.
Green?? I'd drop that wish and pick another alternate. Have only seen a few green 991.1's ever. Both coupes. One was used from P San Diego. One a friend bought new. Viper Green C4S coupe. Parnelli on RL.

Exactly!! This is a gorgeous 991 and it has hard to find manual, sunroof in glass, a rare and unique beautiful color, and beautiful Yahting Blue leather interior. Most of us can learn to heel and toe, if a manual tranny makes sense in our lives, and a great sport exhaust can easily be added at fairly low cost. This 991.1 has most of what many of us need. This looks like a huge find, for one of us Porsche lovers. It gets my vote for the HFS of the week award. 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera S, only $79,932!! with only 7,514 mi!!
Certainly the apparent best buy. Just do your due diligence if interested in buying...

Digging the yachting blue interior and sport seats...
Desperately needs a Sport Design steering wheel upgrade, but I like the white dials...
Also looks like somebody swapped in clear taillights? (see below) I don't see them on the build sheet. Not the right choice for this color though...
