Default GTS - Data Points - WTB

Hello All-

The time has officially come for me to search for my next P-Car. My heart is set on a GTS Cab PDK in Aqua Blue. The White, Black, Silver/Grey colors have all run their course for me. Looking for something a bit more unique.

Have been watching GTS listings on CarGurus. Obviously GTS units are not very common. Having difficulty getting a good sense of price. Many of higher priced units seem to be sitting for awhile.

What are you guys seeing?

I'm typically optimistic but I think you may be in for a search that will take quite a while. My -11 GTS is approaching 60K miles and I would like to find its twin except a 2012 with lower miles (991 is not for me). Have been searching for the past 12 months and the 997 GTS's are scarce no matter what specs you want. Add your cab requirement and the ultra rare Aqua Blue and I think your patience will be tested. I say that since I can't even find a run of the mill black coupe GTS.

GTS Cab in Aqua blue? It might be years of waiting and watching. Buying one you find and painting/wrapping it would likely be more efficient.

Ryan, you should jump all over that one at whatever price you can negotiate and wire a deposit. Unbelievable that the exact GTS you're looking for with those specs is currently for sale.

Yes.....unbelievable. Here, some of us are saying the OP is basically looking for a a car that may be next to impossible to find and next thing we read is about one just like it for sale. I bet there isn't another one though.

Sandwedge, are you saying you wouldn't consider a 2012 997 GTS with lower miles, or that you don't want a 2012 991 (non-GTS as there weren't any 2012 991 GTS's)? Just curious.

OP, this is still showing as available on the dealer's web site. If you're serious, you should purchase this car asap (if it checks out) as it's very unlikely you'll find another Aqua Blue.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I would like a 2012 997 GTS with lower miles. Like what I have now. Just a year younger and with less miles. Not interested in the 991 of any variant except perhaps the GT3 but not wild about the 991 platform overall.
