I've been where you're at sorta. Having GTS isn't gonna satiate your desire for a TT/S. So I say just get this car as a placeholder and you'll have a chip to get the TT/S when you're ready. With the deal your friend is giving you, you'll make out even, even with no trade-in tax credit. And remember to thank your buddy for a great deal.
to Op I think the GTS is a sweet for the 992
I had 2022 C4S
2023 TTS
and recently a 2024 CS with MT . I did try to get a GTS but could not locate an allocation . I drive my friend's Dakar which essentially a GTS and I don't think you will miss a lot of the power
even my CS with 445 HP , I think the power is reasonable enough for the street . I had the car for 1 week and I find my self doing 80-90 MPH and I am not trying to push the car.

without knowing the MSRP , I am not really sure how can you tell that this is a great deal. This a 2022, private party sale should be well below MSRP. I recently looked at two 2022 GTS before I bought my current car, both had low miles , CPO and both were slightly below MSRP . I declined both

Say he keeps the car a year and sells it for 140 ish, pretty even.
And I'm convinced the power isn't what OP values as much as owning the apex predator and TT/S badge.
EDIT
Just read OPs reply. Two three years and putting that many miles on it throws off my estimates completely.

the thing I wanted most from the Turbo S would of course be the power. I did drive the GTS and while it was very very fast, I couldn’t help but think about the Turbo S and how much faster that would be. A tune would void the warranty and also probably affect future resale value. I know people say to enjoy the car and not worry about that, but I’d like to not just burn money.
My hopes were to wait 1-2 years and pick up a used Turbo S when the 992.2 version drops so that the 992.1 would be more affordable.

If, on the other hand, you’re one of those people that always needs to have the best version of something to be truly happy/content, then by all means you should stick to your original plan.
