Yes, stunning. I would have done some things different (painted seatbacks, no carbon trim) but this is definitely a wow spec. And priced like it!

PTS 6spd for $169k CAD, 18k miles. Probably worth it. That's 131k USD.

Miles are high for that price and no 18 ways but I bet it sells for close to asking.

Yes, the manual PTS on BaT sold for $126k, so $131k with the premium. I’m seriously tempted to trade my C4 GTS against it.

The lack of sports seats in this car is the absolute most glaring omission of any 911 I have ever seen. They ticked all those boxes, paid for that colour, paid for the stitching etc, but not the sports seats. Completely unfathomable.

It’s because they added the ventilated seats - they have to be combined with the comfort seats.

It's insane, the ventilation barely makes a difference anyways. You're gonna drop best part of $200K CDN (with taxes) and be stuck with those seats. Hard pass.

This is a really beautiful and special car. If I was in the market for a modern 911, this would be near top of my list, even with the seats.

I'm not so familiar with exactly what Porsche did to these 2012.5 cars that have the 997 size, body, etc,... but you are suggesting it really is a 991? what does this car have that makes you consider it a 991?

I was under the assumption that they built the 997.2 the same way, all the way up until they started the new production lines for the 991's

2012.5 cars are 991's. I don't think he's suggesting it's a 991, just that if it were, he would be interested.

Sorry, it was a mistake, which I fixed. I meant modern 911.

I would love to own a 997. Sad thing, it wasn't three years ago that that car, absent the special color, would have been a $75k car, tops. The 997 market has ballooned and even more so for really nice or special cars.

I don't know where you live, but here in Texas, you couldn't sell me a daily driver without ventilated seats, especially sport buckets with bolsters. Ventilation is a must have for me. The bigger bolsters of the sport seats while nice, are definitely not required. And yes, I've owned both.

I concur with Thomas. The ventilated seats are an important upgrade for me. With the top down on a warm day in the Carolinas they make a BIG difference.
Especially after a long day on the golf course!

Local car to me. No affiliation. Been dealing with Iannelli for many years. good folks. They do a bunch of my service. This GTS popped up on their site. PDK might be a detractor for some and looks like it was involved in a front-end collision according to the CARFAX.... Good mileage - have not seen it in person.

I find it strange when people get so upset at the specification of someone else's car. The beauty of Porsche's approach to options is that a buyer can build pretty much exactly the car he or she wants. As a couple of other posters have noted, the ventilation function is more important to some than the adaptive sports seats. For others it's the opposite.

NevilleNobody

I'm not upset, I can't afford this anyways, just saying, full blown sports car, every box ticked, upgrades up the yinyang and arguably the worst seats Porsche has made in 20 years. I have ventilated seats and it kinda sorta works, how much it helps you on a proper hot day i dunno.

No one is daily driving this thing, it's a $200K CDN car, sports car not a luxo mobile.
