Other than that it ticks every other box for me better than a GTS, as much as I love my GTS.
Sounds like I'll have to be willing to be very patient.

Thanks, man. Two quibbles with this one... one small, one big.

Small: it doesn't have the sport design mirrors, the look of which I prefer.
Big: I would have a hard time justifying paying $12,000 over sticker.

Price is driven by market.
Buy a sportscar is truly emotionnal... GTS are great, 50th anniversary too.
If you want to drive your 50th ann. on a daily and respectfully basis, do yourself a favor: buy a nice one. Your next Rolex can wait.

I hear ya. That price is just dumb. I hope that sits. The mirrors are an easy fix though. I'm with you. I like them too. Might be an upgrade at some point.

Sport design mirrors are stock on 911.50. The electrical folding were options, but with "base" style.

To OP:

I have the car you're looking for I'm on the registry. Not for sale though.

In all fairness, I think the only 50th that will hold its value are the garage queens. If they have any reasonable mileage, they won't command much more over any GTS (maybe a few grand?). Sure there are cosmetic changes (you can even say the mighty 911 R followed the 50th interior theme), but they are still just a Carrera. In the US the X51 kit was standard, but everywhere else in the world it's LESS powerful than the GTS.

It has a unique look, but drives no different than any other 991 that's comparably specc'd. It's no GT class, but it serves a different purpose.

My advise would be to get one if you plan to drive it and if you enjoy its appearance. I wouldn't consider it a very profitable investment. It's not a R, 2.7RS or a CGT.
