I seem to have horseshoes up my butt because I seem to have lucked into a 991.1 that I would not be able to buy "new" today as I wasn't interested in the newer models that are turbo charged.
A 2015 Porsche "911 Carrera 4 GTS" Coupe with all the right options and in a 7-speed. And get this, with 162 kilometers (101 miles) on the clock as I picked it up. The original owner had it for 3 years 1 month and never drove it. So basically, I bought a new car that still had 2 years and 11 months of factory warranty.
Confirming the mileage, I connected my Durametric: 6.77 hours of engine run time and zero over-revs in all 6 ranges (you would think). Perfect! All he drove it in for were his inspections and an oil change. With that mileage, the downside was I had to break the engine in.
Added bonus: the original owner had Expel applied to the front bumper, fenders, hood, A pillars, front section of the roof panel, rocker panels and rear quarter panels.
A whole lot less. Besides, where could I go back in time to get the car I would have wanted. I managed to get all the info on the vehicle from the Porsche dealer. Factory options added up to $45,620. Wow!

You did not answer the questions...most post what they paid to give shoppers an idea of the market is like considering sticker price & mileage, just like looking at property values albeit those are public.

Strange, having looked at a few pages on this thread, I did not see anyone listing what they paid. Besides, I am in a different market and chances are you won't find one with no miles on it.
But we are damn lucky in North America. I priced out a new 4 GTS with my options out at the Porsche Australia site. Get this...just over AU$404,000. Crap!
No problem, but in other threads people do post what they paid but I agree that you are in a different market, and if you are happy with what you paid that is all that matters. And damn, that is over twice what I paid but it is all relative.

Hi Bob, no its not what I paid. I happened to be in Australia with some time to kill and looked up what a 4 GTS with my options costs there. Thanks to a 33% luxury tax plus another 10% GST they have to pay.
Just looking up the PCCB brakes, the options cost in Australia was just over double of what they list for back home.

YES, you are damn lucky. I live in Australia, and we get hosed! Even your mods are all half price.
