My wife and I love the Racing Yellow paint and interior accents.
I have 2 questions:
1. Did I do "OK" with the haggling?
2. What's with the 20" Carrera S Wheels instead of the standard GTS center lock ones? Could that car have really been ordered that way (build date in December 2014)? Is it difficult to upgrade to those?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help. Hopefully this is our last inquiry before we make a decision.

GTS991 has been super helpful so far and I've learned a ton from reading all of the threads.

Thanks,
Alex

 

Full warranty? CPO'd??

Probably better off with the 5 bolt wheels vs the center locks.

 

Incredible deal!! I am fan of centerlocks and see that as the biggest negative here other than PDK

 

Hi LexVan,

Good question! The warranty was punched in November of last year so we are losing roughly 10% of it.
Agreed that I prefer the redundancy of the 5 bolt wheels, but the looks of the GTS center cap ones.

We'll look into purchasing additional 2yr coverage for a total of 6yr/100K miles.
The car is new and it has never been registered. It has 96 miles on the clock.

 

Tough build in my opinion, built 15 months ago. As LexVan said, the warranty start date would be an important issue to check.... If you like it, go for it...

 

Looks wise yes, else I'm down for the 5 bolt concept, all day long.
Will be easier to use my electronic torque wrench without buying a center lock adapter.

My question is if those GTS wheels are "Standard" how could the car have been ordered with the 20" Carrera S wheels instead?
I'm not looking at a car with swapped out wheels, am I? Sorry if it's a daft question, I'm coming from BMWs and wifey and I want to make sure that we get the "right" first Porsche. The performance figures and NA motor have me salivating, as is the PDK. Let's not turn that into another auto vs. manual fight.
Both of us grew up in Eastern Europe and are more than proficient with manuals with over 20 years of those. Time for something different!

Help me out guys, I don't want to screw up here.
The car is in Suncoast (Sarasota,FL) and I'll take the 1250 miles drive up North, gladly! We live in CT.

Thanks all
Alex

 

Racing Yellow draws a lot of attention. Your days of flying under the radar are over.

Get them to CPO the car as part of the deal. It's easily worth $3,000. Maybe you can get it added for less than the other warranty you're considering. Porsche's warranty product is probably much better and more dealership network accepted.

 

You could spec out Carrera S wheels as an option, completely legit. Also as Lex said CPO the car and your gold.

 

The 20" Carrera S wheels (5 bolt) were a no cost option on the GTS. Assuming it is on the build sheet there are no issues. Are the wheels silver or black?

Also any pics? Sounds like with the Carrera S wheels and alcantara delete someone created a non-GTS GTS... my opinion only of course.

 

They are not swapped wheels. They are clearly listed on the COA. And the window sticker once you see it, I'm sure of.

 

Seems like a significant discount off MSRP. Get the dealer to stand behind the car with CPO and enjoy.

 

The car sounds awesome if you want Yellow! The S wheels are the lightest of all 991 Porsche 20" wheels. Good looking & relatively easy to clean. If they are painted black or gray even better imho! Great price and go for CPO, see if they will at least split it w you. GL

Ps, after looking at the build sheet I noticed you left off several other nice options. That car is loaded & very unique! Not many would order a multi function carbon fiber steering wheel but it is very pricey! The leather seat backs of the 18 ways are also very cool. Very nice car

 

You might also consider wheel spacers given the wheel type and wide body aspect of the car.

 

Killer DEAL. Close it ASAP

Unheard of new GTS discount

 

Bemo.

That is a great build and a great price!
I recently purchased a new 16 GTS and I can tell you that I would have bought this car if it would have been a MT. If you want a PDK GTS, I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on this car at that price. (they have even already added the clear side markers to match the clear tail lights)

One question you need to ask them. Why does their add lists it as a GTS, but in two spots their add states all wheel drive. I am not sure why they haven't corrected the add and removed the references to all wheel drive. I am sure I am not the only one who has noticed it.

PS Like others have suggested, get them to CPO the car. Don't let them tell you they can't.
