Default 2016 GTS 7MT Carmine Red



Been for sale forever at Porsche Chandler. Looks like a nice spec. 8500 miles asking $133k. Obviously asking way too much dough for this car. Anybody make an offer or have any stories? I have a feeling that the painted interior trim has given at least a few would be buyers second thoughts.

Will be an eternity at that price. Actually, they'll get that price in 2026.

Lava orange? The build sheet states Carmine red...
*edit* looks like you changed it.

Way overpriced

Wow you're fast. My bad, corrected a few secs after posting. Maybe if it was LO it would've sold already. Little love for Carmine Red. ****ty pictures doesn't help in this case. Saw exact same car in showroom at local dealer and the color with the black wheels was quite stunning.

I think you should sell me your car for $60k and get into that red beauty, ASAP!

I think those might be HRE wheels, which would explain some of the asking price.

He does but not happy with the 4-way seats. In fact, his car is magnificent, I've had the pleasure of seeing it in person.

STG- Yes, but have developed some sort of Porsche sickness. I spent so long searching for my black GTS, and never got out of the habit of looking every morning. I guess I enjoy it (sold BMWs for a couple years in a past life, never got cars out of my system since) plus 1% chance that I would trade my GTS for my "perfect" build.

Come on now get your facts straight, 18-ways. Convinced factory makes them with a +\- 2" tolerance for the bolsters (and on mine it was minus). And on top of that the alcantara makes thems a bit more snug.

Gotcha. Love looking at cars too. Buy a second one!

Just was chatting with a GTS owner today who was looking at another GTS that was optioned more to his liking. I can understand. I've dumped so much $ and effort into my car, makes me content.

You've noticed differences in the same seats??

Yes, Alcantara is definitely more "in place" and no sliding.

I have 14 ways and happy. Issue is when you look at other cars and options, the grass is always greener. Or, the "I wish I had" this, that starts happening.

If I spent so time in 18 ways, would probably like them better possibly.
