GTS Feeler
Sorry OP to go offtrack here!
I assume you are referring to my post...it was actually 1298xx...close enough. Yeah, it has Leather vs the Alcantara, spasm, Aerokit cup, painted this and that (int. and ext.), aluminum shift and brake lever, white gauge faces etc....As we all know, Porsche's option list is extensive and pricey!!
I am noticing that my side sills are different than a couple other GTS's pics posted...was that a change for '12, or is it due my car having aerokit?

I thought aerokit was just front and rear spoilers, nothing changing on the side skirts. Here's some info I found on the GTS:
Exterior
· Wider rear body (+ 1.79 in. / 44 mm)
· 19-inch RS Spyder wheels with center locks std., painted in black with high-gloss rim flanges, with rear tires 305/30 ZR 19 - available on a Carrera model for the first time (so far only for 911 Turbo models)
· SportDesign front apron with front spoiler edge in black (available in body color as EXC option)
· Wider side skirts in black (available in body color as EXC option)
· lower rear apron and section between tailpipes in black
· Available in the same solid and metallic exterior colors as found in the standard Carrera range. The special color range is limited to GT Silver Metallic and Amethyst Metallic.
· Carrera GTS logotype on rear and doors in Black for light colors and Satin Silver for dark colors

Seems to me that any low miles GTS with an asking price of less than $80K will either not be CPO (until 2017 or beyond) or has a story or two.
They are a great version of the 911.

Got my 11 gts cab with 11k miles a month or so ago. Non cpo, only issue was a bumper repaint. Took a paint meter to the entire car, which I suggest you do as well. Settled on $74.5k and love the car. You can't go wrong with a gts. I love the NA motor and enjoy the drive more than my buddy's 13 carrera 4. He does too
Gorgeous color….Ever since my TB non-metallic paint I favor that genre more than metallic but that one's a beauty. Isn't there one (forget the official title) in non-metallic?
Thanks my friend!

Your 'Turquoise Blue' is still a favorite. Is that color code 3AS?
I don't know of a non-metallic 'Amethyst' type color in recent times. There was of course the unforgettable 'Aubergine', color code 025 (photo #1), back in 1972/1973 and the special order 'Royal Purple' (code 341 - photo #2) too! Both are non-metallic colors. Glorious colors for those groovy 'Age Of Aquarius' years!
"When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This was the moment when the rise
of the oceans began to slow and our
planet began to heal"
That last verse I just made up and threw in just for 'fun'. It's not part of the original song. But I was in a 5th Dimensional Twilight Zone frame of mind (as Rod Serling would have said) and just got carried away thinking about the Choom Gang...the love, the smoke and the PTS-like colors!
