It was built six months before mine. I bet that is one of the Byers' Porsches.

Now, a more important question, is this HFS?

Well, while I am surprised that asking prices are identical for nearly the same car, one year later, I will indeed declare this on HFS.

Why? Well I have been watching this thread since it began over two years ago and I have seen a lot of 991's for sale come and go. It is extremely rare for any 991 to come this loaded, especially an S. This build probably exceeds most of the GTS's I have seen and most of those were asking more $$$ (although they were also newer model years, to be candid). Burmester, PCCBs, Sport PASM, Aerokit Cup, leather interior w/ CF trim, yellow seat belts and gauges - this is a VERY nice car with relatively low miles and still under the CPO warranty.

I rate it HFS. You will find cheaper 991's, even GTS's. It is highly unlikely that you will find another 991 Carrera with such a such a build, though.

 

That car will be gone by the end of the week.

 

For sure. I endorse it as a HFS BUY!!!

 

As did I!

If anything...makes me feel better about my purchase last year LOL! Good timing!

 

Funny thing, I thought I would see my original car for sale on here sometime before I saw one of my car's near-twins!

 

This car needs to stay in the HFS family here!

 

Now there's your GTS(like) build for under $100K...

Perhaps this Winter we will see real GTS's with clean history dip under the 100 mark, but might be another year+ out still.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some current GTS owners who are on lists for the new GT3, putting some GTS's on the market when deliveries happen, but they are likely manuals for the die-hard folks for whom only three pedals will do. My guess is lots of GT4 owners switching over as well.

 

Not a carfax, but google had this page from what looks like a previous used sale at 9K miles in Dublin, supporting your theory!

 

Whoops! I see that STG already posted this info... That's what you get for replying to posts before catching up all the way to the end!

It was nice of this dealer to hit up RL first on this car. It's not even on their website yet.

I lived in both places for long periods. The problem that is killing cars with rust is that there is a lot more water around the air. It doesn't only affect rust, you can easily tell by Boston practically never having fog, but Germany has plenty. Or black ice, which is fog condensing, then freezing on the surface. In Germany, at least a couple times a year. In Boston it means the city shuts down.

As I said the other problem is that when rusts affects car stability then you have to fix it with new panels in Germany. In Boston? Nah.

 

You guys crack me up!

When is the last time one saw a rusty 997 or 991??

Berlin or Boston, what's the difference?

Cars these days are very well protected from corrosion, especially the body panels. Of course, drive in salty road winters for 15 years and you WILL have issues. The underneath of the car (mufflers, bolts, components, etc. I'm sure will show surface corrosion sooner).

Geez, I was told to avoid rain I read that somewhere on RL here. You guys will love my car

The only difference here in the US, seems like guys have a lot more "toys" that aren't daily drivers.

This is misleading. They will cover internal corrosion resulting from design or workmanship defect(s). They will not however cover external corrosion like the environmental exposure issue(s) being referred to.

 

As a side note ... You guys have to follow this thread. 6-Speed 911R manual tranny dropped into a 991.1 GT3 RS (which is PDK only).

Well, we were talking about mentality. Germans grow up going through periods where they have to use cheap cars, and the inspection and rust don't mix.

Later, even after going 911, they continue to rate car age as more important, compared to Americans who rate miles as more important.
