I saw this today at Hoehn Porsche - seems to be on the lower end of the GTS price range. At least it is below $110k...
$108,995
2015 GTS
Carmine red
15,460 miles
PDK, PASM, glass sunroof

If you don't mind me asking (sorry for the offtopic STG)- how do you like the system? Any wishes or just a recommended system?

It really isn't on P-Cars that often but if you commute in traffic from time to time, it's a wonder.

I love it, love it, love it! Like heated seats, a option that once I experienced it, I couldn't imagine having another car without it.

Great for commuting in moderate traffic.

I love ACC. But it is in my Cayenne. Use it mostly for long distance trips. Not so much in stop and go. It is a bit more popular in the SUVs.

The issue is that it is a separate option. For most new 991 owners, it is not a must have option since most are not dd

That is just insane considering its standard feature on many new cars like a $28,000 CR-V. Does the 991.2 have adaptive cruise standard?

At least in the new Panamera it comes as part of a package that includes night vision. But you want Porsche to cut its profit margin? No way

I thought I'll share this response regarding the used marker for 991. It was posted in the 997 forum. Also a good discussion on auction and CarMax

I am probably in the majority regarding ACC on a 911: I rarely use cruise control and ACC is just another expensive electronic gizmo destined to crap out.

I am sure ACC is standard on all $20k cars since those drivers are too busy texting to pay attention, whereas 911 owners actually want to drive

Smile Potential 1st time Porsche Owner

Hello all and greetings on my first post on Rennlist.


Been in the shadows for about a month on this thread and lost a local 2013 Aqua Blue/Platinum 4S that slipped out of my hands as I pondered for one day before I had a chance to even post it here and it was gone. Just was not aware of the market at the time but this thread has helped tremendously and I especially thank STG and the others who are active and regularly contribute.


Think I will make up for it on this one, however. Have a deposit on it as I was made aware it was on the way in from a lease return. It was leased by an owner who has multiple cars I am told and obviously kept it well maintained as I found an indoor car cover in the front storage area along with a connection for a battery tender.

It has just a tick over 3,200 miles, yes, not a typo. CPO is included for this one and listed at 73.9. Only need for me is the front bumper cover needs refinished as some scrapes are too deep to wet sand/polish but will get a true expert opinion locally from my sources. Drove as you would expect for a next to new example.


Have been in the Audi mix for many years and will be keeping those but was considering this as a daily commuter for my 52 mile mostly freeway round trip. Plan would be to keep at least 3 or more years so with 2 years of CPO I would expect I may have found a keeper.

Funny timing - I just got back from Stuttgart where I rented a 991.2 C4S with ACC through Porsche Drive.

Rush hour traffic in Stuttgart is like anywhere, not fun. I used the system both on Autobahn with moderate traffic and in the city.

If I daily drove my 991, ACC might be nice to have, but honestly I have reservations about a radar guiding my 120k+ car. As cool as the technology was, I usually ended up braking or accelerating before it did. I could never get it to just the right following distance; I was either too close or too far from my comfort. Just my 2c on the feature...

There is a huge trust factor and it took me a while to get used to it. That being said, it works well in traffic but you still need to be alert. If a car brakes suddenly in front of you, I am on the brake myself and not relying on the ACC. Always. So therefore, set it so that there is sufficient space between your car and theirs so that you can react.

I get that, I just thought that I would see at least one or two more of the loaded ones with ACC as an option, though. If you are going to pay another $2k for leather on the back of the seat shell, I would think that ACC might be more desirable.

I daily drive mine and use ACC in moderate traffic. I certainly don't use it when I take the back roads or when I autocross...

Personally, I entirely agree with you- there's no way I wouldn't have it over leather covering the back side of a seat.
