HFS advice >>> the whole USA is your marketplace >>> Rennchecks are plentiful especially with the HFS network >> airline tickets are cheap >>> enclosed transport is cheap as well.
All is can say, is that you guys who found cars over the last 1-2 years consider yourselves lucky. Not a great buyers market out there. Slim pickings and prices reflecting that.
The inventory of pre-owned 991.1 S/4S's is the lowest I've seen in the last couple years.
Cars will come up, but DO NOT hesitate if the right one at the right price comes along.
Yeah. So glad I bought when I did. Car with my specs easily $8k to $10k more than I paid.

Don't limit your searches. Find your dream car
Yup. I told my wife this was going to be the case, especially with my difficult requirements: cab, manual, full leather, not black or Luxor interior, vented seats, PSE and Sport Chrono. As I said in my delivery thread, that Venn diagram has very little overlap. Fortunately, it was at a well regarded dealer, and only 1,600 miles away meant I could drive it home.
I'm one the folks out there waiting for the right car to buy. Any thoughts on whether prices for '14-'16 cars will soften as the '18's start to be delivered? With used prices approaching new car prices, particularly given performance from a 991.2 base C2 comes close to that of a 991.1 C2S, I'm temped to buy a new one even if it means taking a larger depreciation hit in year 1-2.
Be patient, Spring is always the worst time to buy a sport or collector car. Most folks wait to buy for good weather, and sellors often do as well. Things always loosen up. Trust me, i own 10 cars. It never fails.

Airline ticket? Why bother. Just save $ for more premium gas.
I luck out bc the dealer has a good reputation here.
One of the factors that STG may not know is that there is a group of Cayenne Diesels (and other 3.0 tdi owners) who expect $ coming from VW. The early VW 3.0 tdi owners are having their cars bought outright. The later ones (such as the Cayennes) are getting some $ compensation. I bet some of them (me lol) are/were looking at the new/used 991 market. I have already seen one contributor in the Cayenne board buying a new 991.2. So, I am not alone

Yeah, I am pretty much out of the market. Gave up in the manual cab base for the spring early summer. The car I want is too rare to rush. Maybe in the fall I will find something.

Keep looking. The right car can come up ANYTIME. Always be on the hunt.
^^^ haven't shopped the base model market much lately, so maybe someone who has can comment. I'd want to be in mid $60's from what I can see. From the pics, the condition of the car seems questionable too.
With a base model 991.1 search, I'm sure there are much better buys and much lower mileage.
So much for sitting a while as they already have a deposit on it. This is the 3rd car I've emailed immediately after it showed up on the Porsche site only to have it already have a deposit on it. Oh well.
I feel your pain. I placed a deposit on my dream 14 C2S. It was listed for 1 day. Figured to sleep on it, got stuck negotiating over $400 on a $81k car. Agreed on a price. Sent CC info for out of state deposit. Dealer calls me back an hour later to say they sold it to a local buyer who offered more money.
If you find a good one jump on it! I'm still kicking myself for moving too slow.
I just reduced the asking price for my GT Silver/Black 2014 911 Turbo.
CPO'd until June 25,2020, 13,700 miles, very fresh tires (less than 2,000 miles), Sport Chrono, PDCC, Clean CarFax Available (pm me), $171,765 Original List, plus $2,500 SunTek wrap on entire front clip plus both doors and mirrors. Have all books & manuals, 2 Key Remotes, and Service Records.

About 12k over general depreciation for a 3 year old P-Car.
Is there a term coined for the opposite of HFS? Cold For Sale?
Is his price really that off for a Turbo? Seems like GTS are only a little lower. If this ultimately goes in the low 110s isnt that pretty good? I admit I'm new here . . .

Well, it's been for sale for a month... and still not sold- so, no?
