Default Looking for a Paint to Sample 991 2S or 4S

I'm in the market to buy a 991 2S or 4S in paint to sample if anyone is interested in selling. PDK with good options highly preferred. Ready to buy now.

Please email at newnode@mac.com

Thanks for the post but it's missing the paddles which is a deal breaker I know it can be changed but I'm also looking for a cheaper price point. I know that car will go to a good home.

I've been looking at used 991's for over 2 years. There are barely any PTS ones out there outside of the GT cars. You're looking for a unicorn.

This is the first and lowest priced used PTS 991S I've ever seen.

Point taken. I guess i'm also on the fence about 2S vs 4S. Decisions, decisions.

All you have to do is negotiate $1000 off and it will cover the cost of the swap.

seriously, even with the GT cars the actual #'s of PTS is incredibly low, like you can count them on your fingers ... and maybe 1 foot...

+1...its probably one of the few "options" that is readily changeable/retrofitable

I have the number of 2014 911's in PTS from Porsche USA (on Porsche letterhead) at my office. I don't have that sheet in front of me at the moment, but off the top of my head there were about 10,200 cars made (includes all 911's such as S, Turbo, GT3, etc). About 150 ish (1.50% ish) were PTS cars.
I have been told by the same source that 2015 PTS numbers will be about the same as well percentagewise. I will be confirming final 2015 PTS numbers in the next few weeks.

And Porsche still can't figure out the program to make it easy or available. Demand is way more than their ability to turn them out capacity wise. They trickle out unless you have a 918 or are on their VIP allocation list with that purchase for future cars.

I remember, I had to pull in a lot of favors to get a Targa GTS with PTS and yes, it was also a VIP allocation.


My advice, take what you can get. There is the saying (and please do not take it the wrong way):"Beggars cannot be choosers".

Agreed. That sounds like the perfect combo. I've had a bunch of PTS cars so I'm just waiting for the right one to pop up.

I personally only know of 3 PTS 991S's out there, and I've looked at 1,000's of them for sale. The one I posted earlier is actually a great deal. Like I said, a unicorn. You'll be looking forever and never find one in the under 90K range.

Parnelli might sell his Viper Green 4S for around 150K+
