I actually don't think that is all that unusual outside of the coastal and big city markets. I think a lot of the flyover state smaller market dealers do this for local area buyers. At least for non RS product. The hard part remains getting an actual allocation.

The pre-owned market has definitely softened and it does not appear to be exclusive to any marque nor model. It is a buyers market.
BTW, the Guards Red T that was listed on BaT closed late last week. RNM.

Agreed… I think it might be a little much. The sunroof kills it for me as well. If I had to have a sunroof it would have to be the glass version.

I don't think a sunroof really matters for a 2023 car, or any car with Sport seats. The only place it's odd is when you spend the money on Full Bucket Seats. But I have Full Bucket Seats and a glass sunroof in a 991.2 T, and I like the combo.

So, everyone I've met who owns a 911T has generally been a pretty serious driving enthusiast and that's probably why they choose this particular model. Lighter weight, manual transmission standard, etc.
But Porsche says the 911 S/T is the ultimate driver's 911 -- or at least their marketing department does. This prompted me to put together this video, which I'm sure will get a lot of hate, saying that maybe the 911T (as well as some other 911 variations) is a better and more accessible option. Probably preaching to the choir here but feel free to tell me I'm wrong!

My S is good, sometimes I wish I had bought a manual but the PDK is impressive and when I bought it I had a 1 hour (each way) commute in fairly heavy traffic.

I’m on a list for one that I know I’ll never get but if I do the money is there. My prelim build for those interested.

You may be able to take a mid engine into a corner faster but a rear engine comes through the apex like a beast. The mid engine can lose grip and send you spinning like a top. I’m much more comfortable in a hard corner with my rear engine. The feeling of losing traction with a mid engine is an experience I don’t wish to repeat. The car ran out of traction at the same time I ran out of talent.
I just love this combination with white and black. LOVE IT! BUT THE MISSES HATES IT UNFORTUNATELY.
Can we please, pretty please, with a cherry on top, delete pictures when you respond to a post with anywhere from 1-10 pics??? I'm alone in preferring to see a pic once instead of three or five times. You can either delete the pics in your quoted response or just start a new reply and tag the person you're addressing with the @ symbol.Let's all please make an effort not to pollute the thread.
My build is this: PRST1WG9 I didn't option the Front Lift, Rear Axle Steer or enhanced power steering as I'm attempting to find the most connected Man/Machine/Road feel possilbe

Now there’s a thought, leather on the outside of a car. That’d be a first👍
