Not the smartest thing I did today, but I pulled the trigger. They just got in Friday and I bought it today.
Base model, manual. Paid $95k on a $105k sticker.
It's as quick as my 2013S, driving and handling is much improved, easier to shift and still thrilling but more refined

Love the wheels and the color. I noticed it has the standard interior instead of the leather interior. Nice way to save $4,000. Not sure what you give up by not having the leather interior, but seems like a good way to keep the cost down.

I bought the one they had on the lot and luckily they had a manual. I would have skipped the premium package and the 14 way seats as well, but ordering a 2018 would have resulted in a lesser discount and I do like the vented a/c seats and the lane change is nice (may avoid accidents). My 2013 had SPASM, sport exhaust and sport chrono, but I don't think I will really miss any of those options. I especially like the new sunroofs, the wheels and the way they improved everything (gone is that bulky football shaped rear-view mirror). The 991.1S had much more of a raw feel and sometimes I will miss it, but this one is more refined and suited for regular driving. The clutch is much easier to use whereas the .1 was a lot heavier and I would stall out at times. So....the .2 has welcome improvements but it is losing some raw feel, but I think PDK does that as well.

That is about as big a discount as you ever see new. I wonder if it was a canceled order since they hardly ever order manual for inventory. Was it a large volume dealer?

Yes, Leith in Cary, NC which is a big dealer. I have no idea if someone else ordered it. I was willing to walk away and they agreed to my price (which was higher than I wanted to go). So, I guess that is fair market value, when both sides feel a little screwed
Funny thing, everyone kept looking at the Macans-why I just don't understand.

The .2's aren't selling like they thought and dealers want to get manuals OFF of the lot.
Interesting that there is so much more demand for manuals in the pre loved market!
