991.2 S vs 991.2 GTS
#76
Rear seats were easier in the 997 - IIRC in the 991.1 you'd have to weld a tab in for the seat belts or something like that before you buy and install all the hardware. The biggest question was whether your insurance company will play ball. Mine would but I could see a lot of them saying no to that. This is the point where most said get a GTS.
Well I can always solve this problem with a gt4

If I had a GT3 I'd want to track it heavily, and frankly even ignoring the potential safety concerns, at this point we can't comfortably afford to pay out of pocket for an on-track accident in a new GT3 so I think I'd be barking up the wrong tree. For light track use (maybe 6 DEs a year) event insurance could be enough for it to make sense, but for heavy use I'd be more comfortable and probably have more fun just renting a race car in the short term and trailering my own in the long term.

Yeah, except it's not, at least not with similar options. And that's assuming you could even get one for MSRP. And when you compare it to the .2 GT3 about to be released, there will still be a sizable gap for similarly optioned cars. Which there should be, given what the GT3 offers over the GTS.

Bumping a 2 year old thread... But currently, the average price of 991.2 GTS' seems to be around $110k depending on miles... I'm seeing C2S and C4S for around the ~$80s across the US. I'm torn on whether I need to spend 30k extra for a few more hp and other goodies, but I am patient, will travel and will take my time finding the right 991.2...
So my questions are-- will the 991.2 GTS prices come down along with C2S & C4S further with the release of the 992? How much would you guys expect? When would be a good time to buy, and what's the bottom price these cars will hit? I was surprised to see that even 991.1 S's are still easily in the 60-70k range...

After 6 months of general availability of 992 GTS, that is when the "bottom" prices will hold.

Not necessarily. In this case, there should be a wider gap between GTS and C2S/C4S as 992 has been out for a while. C2S is currently ~10% cheaper than the GTS (on the German market at least). Which is not a deviation out of the "normal" price gap. What is more likely is that when the GTS and GT models are released and let's say people really like what Porsche has done then we could see a price drop for the whole 991.2 series and so forth. But in general 991.2 = old and 992 = new. Based on prices I believe this has already been priced in and GTS would be a good buy
