These options only matter when you're comparing specs on the internet. Once you're behind the wheel you will not care. Just do it and enjoy. If you're afraid of making a bad choice then buy used and sell it in 6 months for little to no loss.

Guys, sold my 997 and ready for a 991. Was going to wait a while but my friend and I went to the LA Auto Show last week and I drove his loaded Cab S-PDK with Sport Chrono Plus, etc. That pretty much did it for me..
I am looking at 2012/13s Cabs w/PDK, Sport Chrono and Bose. Those are pretty much it for my requirements/budget.
Need your help with any potential issues that 2012s or 13s have shown to be common. Especially any major, like $1,000+ to repair or replace....
Obviously maintenance items like brakes can be costly but anything else stand out...early model 997s had the IMS issues but none for later years. PDKs have heard can be rare problems and very expensive if rebuild or replace is needed.
Thank you...

I did not have sport exhaust but the solenoid that controls the exhaust valve to open at higher rpm failed and it droned all the time. Both solenoids were replaced under warranty. I believe there is an old service bulletin out there on this topic. Other than that I had no issues with my 2014 S. You might consider spending a little more and getting a CPO car.
Good luck
