The best “deal” is the car that best suits your tastes. Anything else is a waste of money.

Good luck. Let us know on the flip side. My 997.2 TTS just won't break up with me so now have to seduce a 991.1 TTS as the polygamist's first wife stable mate. GLWP

thanks much. Good luck in your search to add another stable mate to the wonderful 997!

Have you driven either flavor, or any 991s? You will probably prefer one over the other, so try to find locals to take you for a ride. You can try posting in your region's section on RL.

I've owned a 991 C4S and was in love with it! I really don't think I can go wrong with either build so I'm hoping that the "better deal" aspect will help me make my decision.

@Boulder Mike -- you can't just leave us hanging like that!
Tell us more about this special 991.1 (you don't have to give away any secrets if you haven't locked it down yet).
Congrats, looking forward to pics!

I posted the Austin Sapphire C2S awhile back. The other one was one that a sales guy who became a friend sold: I had originally inquired about it, but I wanted 18-ways+manual and kept looking. I have the email if someone wants "proof". It still worked out as I hooked him up on a pair of Stocklis for a trip to Mammoth.

Here is another one from my "another planet".

https://www.orlandoinfiniti.com/used...AB2A92CS121712

$63,499, 29k miles, $123k build with PDCC, PDK, PSE, Sport Chrono

Loaded C2S models can be had in the low to high 60's; there is quite a lot of inventory on the market at this time. Over 1000 models on the CPO site alone. The local Portland dealer has 7 or 8 991.1 models: in the past 2 years, they have never had more than 3 at any one time, and during much of that time, they had exactly zero available to sell.

I don't think the pictures at that link are the same car.. Are they? Am I missing something? Isn't the S a 3.8 liter? The pic shows a 3.4..

dawgcatching, if you find nice cars POST them with a full proper listing. Let's keep the other noise out of here. The followers here want to see real cars for sale now. If you find some nice cars at a great price, post it. That's what we're about here.

Yes, higher mileage 991.1's can be had in the $60's. Nothing new here.

BTW, my cars.com searches show about the same # of S/4S/GTS cars available over the past year. Cars turn over, but steady # of total cars available for sale with slight fluctuations. Spring is here. The market should start picking up soon as weather warms up. Best time to buy is now.

Each car has its own story, so each one has to be evaluated on its own merit. Can't just make broad statements as there is no way they could apply to everything out there. We've seen a lot of abused cars that sit around at lower prices, and this is HFS where we've seen some real gems!

North Houston has that very clean C4S that was listed awhile back (also sapphire, loaded) and it went for mid 70's (the one with the carfax mixup); it was also pretty low mileage if I remember correctly, and a C4S is always more $ than a C2S.

So yeah, there are sub $70k, nice build, early 991 C2S CPO's out there. At least there were a month ago, but perhaps the market is strengthening as we move into spring (although none of the many early 991s on the forum listed in the past 3 weeks have gone sale pending).

I thought I got a great deal but beginning to rethink

I live in San Diego and saw this car too, and can confirm the price. It had undesirable options for me personally (no leather interior, bose, or premium package if I remember), but was a manual with Aero wing. It's possible to get a decent 2013 in high $60's, just have to look past the super loaded 'enthusiast' builds. I feel like any car with a ducktail instantly adds several grand.

Oh man, can't wait. Want to jump out of my Panny 4S to get a 911 4GTS or a properly optioned 4S/S Manual.

My perception is that prices have softened a bit. Think spring with get em up again?
