Default Looking to buy GTS

Looking for 911 Carrera GTS

Must-have options:
Sports PASM
GTS interior with Alcantara Communication Package, red or silver Alcantara stitching
Sunroof (metal preferred, but glass works)
Bose

Nice-to-have options:
Smoking package
Auto-Dimming mirrors
Smoking Package
Heated Front seats

CPO if possible. What are my options?

I've been scouring the following:
1. Rennlist
2. Porsche PreOwned car locator
3. cars.com
4. local dealership sites

1. Go back in time
2. Santa
3. Patience. They're popping up used daily, and a few new ones in transit still that were ordered by dealers.
4. Autotrader

Are you getting soft on duplicate threads!

I read through some of these threads and don't even realize what the real question is many times. The one you referenced had my head spinning.

You have to remember that the GTS was only in production for just over a
year, and it is ending now, so all these cars are under 1 yr old, the likelihood
that there will be many available used is low I fear... you are more likely
to find a new one on a dealer lot!

good luck

You can have mine for 200k. It has exactly none of your required options

There are still numerous new GTSs for sale. Are you set on a CPO car?

You are totally right not finding many used! But, what you can hang your hat on, in terms of finding one used, is that I guarantee you that someone (or several someones) eyes will be caught by the new, new shiny thing, a salesman will do what they do best, and viola, a GTS appears on the used market. Maybe not too many so you'd probably have to jump on whatever shows up but it will happen.

And again, you're right about finding one on the dealers lot! Is it worth waiting for a GTS to show up off-lease or on the used market if the price will be pretty high? Might it not just be worth buying new. Look at whatever depreciation you suffer as the price you are going to pay for enjoying the car now as opposed to a year or more from now.

My thoughts are that any GTS used within the next 12 months will be relatively low miles and thus costly, I would expect that you would not find much significantly below MSRP+depreciation ... esp CPO cars

Looks, easily like $150-180. What options are missing?
