Well I just bought a HFS 2012.5 991 which this thread thankfully slept on. CPO until 6/2018, $105.5K sticker, 17.7K miles, and absolutely stunning if you ask me. And the best value I could ever imagine on the 991 (kind of the private party scenario with a great owner that you dream of).
This time, I didn't hesitate! Even traveled cross country for it.

Officially part of the club.
It also has a sunroof, but I'm shocked and bow to and thank the throne of Porsche for how they create a small car with better headroom than massive SUV's.
It seems to fit comfortably enough. Worst case is I tire of not being able to sit straight up enough and I list it back for sale, at least learning first hand if it's fit enough for my height in normal driving scenarios, while experiencing my dream of owning a 911. For now, I'm overjoyed.
Initial thoughts: Sounds incredible. Light torque but rewards with revs and learning your powerband. After all these turbos I've had, this power curve truly proves itself as a drivers car. Steering is too numb (kind of surprised at that) but give me some times on some good windy roads and I'll have a more accurate impression there. PASM is excellent, though very smooth. Surprised at how it isn't as stiff as I'd thought it would be. Makes me VERY happy I didn't get the base suspension then. Though again, it clamps down like it's on rails through turns, which will really showcase itself on proper roads. Porsche really did perfect the magic potion for a refined yet visceral daily driving sports car.

Wow!! A beauty! Those HRE's on there? More details please.
Great base model build and color. Where did you see it listed?
With power steering plus, will feel very easy to turn the wheel under 30mph. Supposedly stops the "assist" over that speed. If you want a firmer feel, have the dealer disable the software for it.

Thank you!! From Cali to Florida. On autotrader. The owner was shocked nobody had come to see it. He said the first person who would, would buy it. It's like the universe cleared this path for me as I dreaded coming to HFS and seeing it posted lol, so I seized the moment! Yep, HRE's. Can anyone identify what model they are? It also has this little CF lip at the rear, which surprisingly looks excellent. FULL front 3M wrap (though a couple edges are peeling, wondering how to mend that). And powder coated exhaust tips (and blacked out solo 911 badge). I'll post more info and pics asap.
Oh, he also said that the dealer he bought it from states the car has an X Pipe. I wonder how I can find that out without getting the car on the lift? Once it gets home (shipping it) I'll try and get pics of the exhaust too.

Sounds like a great pick-up! Congrats!
How much did you purchase the car for (if you don't mind disclosing that info)?
The old lime gold takes a lot of flack, but if it's trimmed out right it's a stunning color combo. This 2013 lime gold S vert is a beauty, and 135k msrp looks to be a good deal. That color with a black top and interior and nice wheels is stunning in person. Saw one just like this at a hotel in Manhattan shortly after the 991 launch, and folks loved it.
...and since you went off-topic, I would like to point out there is a GT3 at the sponsor dealership that is priced almost close to some of the GTS prices that I have have seen here. Of course you must like PDK. Brett says he is giving a Rennlist price if asked

looks potential HFS if you like the color. About 2-3 more months of warranty? Car was lightly driven until second owner. Then driven a lot in a short period. Still, it is in CA and if it was at a Porsche dealer with CPO, it would be around $85,000
I would think some "pre-owned" buyers looking to spend over $120K might be swayed by one of these. Only 8K miles. Haven't shopped the T's, but looks like a decent deal.
The HFS sweet spot is still approx $70K-$90K in my opinion and where our efforts should mostly be.
Mileage: 30,748 miles
