Agree completely. PDK without Sport Chrono is a deal breaker unless price is reduced by $1,200 or thereabouts which is the cost of installing the Sport Chrono software. Without that the $4,500 PDK option basically turns into what's difficult to discern from the old TIP automatic based on my driving experiences.

 

So what should the price be? Closer to 65k?

 

No, with 18,000 miles the car is perhaps a $72k to $75k car. Not many red GTSs and below 20k miles. 1 1/2 years ago, this would have been a $70k to $72k car. Lol, the BAT nut jobs might pay $90jk for it though.

 

Here is a base White GTS Cab 6MT available. It's the first 6MT I've seen in a while. 1K per mile. It spent most of it's life in Florida.

I'll bet this is the same car that was listed for $49,900 last January 13 at the dealer in Florida and was sold the same day.

 

What are people's thoughts on price? on paper sounds pretty good?

 

Seems like a fair price for a MT GTS since those are pretty hard to find. I am not an alcantara fan at all though as I think it really cheapens the look of the interior even though it's a grippy material in the seats. I know others really like it, but I much prefer leather.

Sport seats are a nice bonus though, as those are my favorite Porsche seats.

 

Keep in mind it's a base unit. It doesn't have the sport chrono package although you could add the sport button for $1500.

The color is cool.

I'd be leery of this one since it sold 2 months ago for $49,900. Maybe it's just a quick flip and not a serious problem though.

As always, PPI!

 

It's .50 cents a mile markdown for mileage. This car should have 30k miles on it if you assume 3k per year. So 35k over that would be $17,500 lower than what a low-mileage car should be. With 30k miles it would be worth what....80k? t's a cab, and has low options. Now it comes down to the condition. Seems like it should be a smidge lower but who knows in this market.

 

Service history is.....well, missing for the most part.

 

Carfax may show some service history

I did (there's a link on the page), and it looks bleak.

 

Here is another Pacific Northwest car for sale:

PDK 4 GTS

 

Yes that's a very nice spec. Low miles and good price.

Subjective but since it's a manual I don't think the absence of sport chrono is a big deal. I'm wondering more about the sales history. Sold for $49,000 2 months ago and now it's up to $65,000. Why did it sell for $49,000? Isn't that 2011 C2S or even base car price territory with 65,000 miles?

 

Would like to contribute with data points while also shamelessly plug my plans for my car!

I bought my ‘12 4GTS cab 6mt w/23k miles on for $65k plus fees and taxes. I bought it about a year earlier than I would have preferred because I was saving up for a house, but after researching prices for several years (I was originally going for C4S’s until I found out what a 4GTS really is), I quickly pulled the trigger when I realized it was underpriced—not by much at the time, but I definitely expect its value to increase.

I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and my friends and family are scratching their heads wondering why I have 2 6mt verts (didn’t sell my ‘04 E46 M3 yet, 117k miles, alpine white on imola red, had it for 14 years!)

PPI showed a very minor coolant drip where the pipe connects to the water pump and I put the car in winter storage mode right after I bought it. I’ve since gone on an irrational preventative maintenance journey (I still have PTSD from my E46 repair bills lollll) and spent $9k on the following parts, thanks to the help from Rennlisters:

Preventative: water pump, lower coolant pipe, coolant tank, tstat, hpfp, vacuum pump, belts, pulleys, tensioners, coils, plugs, all fluids, tires, battery, horns

Mods: Sharkwerks center bypass, SS brake lines, upgraded engine mounts, transmission mount inserts, shifter cables (all 3 previous items from function-first.com), Rennline radiator screens, center rad support (to fit the center screen), black center wheel locks, repainted wheels black (they were bronze)

Pending: install all of the above, paint correction, bumper to bumper PPF and ceramic coating

Wish list: upgraded stereo, DSC controller, lowering springs or damptronic coilovers, HRE center lock wheels with a more aggressive offset (more flush)

Trying to bulletproof it as much as possible and hopefully will be able to recover the expenses plus some additional appreciation if I’m lucky.

Keep all the compliments of 997.2 GTS’ coming!!!




Love the painted seat backs and carbon fiber sills
