I think that GTS 4 is actually on point price wise. I paid $76 for a GTS PDK CPO in meteor grey just over 6 months ago. Mine also had 45k miles on it, but it is immaculate and one previous owner . Having said that I'm in the Bay Area where everything is expensive and I probably paid a bit too much for mine, but I went with my heart

Yeah, every time I see a "hot" car come up for sale in the Bay Area, it goes for $5k more than it would in a less go-go part of the country.

That's a good price! I think anyway. And the aero tail grows on you, at least it has me. And my wife likes it, which helps. I believe it is the same kit as the GT3, isn't it? Anyhow, that car has many options mine has, and it's a fantastic look and set up.

yes, no offense to anyone but I prefer the stock deck lid. I do love the GT3 style front bumper though.

yes, it is the same as the 997.1 GT3. I prefer the 997.2 GT3 spoiler; it is a much cleaner and modern look

I am thinking early January might be a good time to pounce.

Can I kindly ask (any)opinions on this CPO:

Seems $20k too much... Thanks!
Aero kit, if factory option installed, and manual . . . amazing car. Worth whatever someone is willing to pay and you could be waiting another year or so for one to pop up.

In my opinion, it makes the car and looks incredible in person. A factory tail on any 911 is not ricey. Real 911s are supposed to have tails, just intro versions don't . . .

That is def in CA dollars!
$63,000 USD for a 4 GTS ain't bad at all! Quite a deal! Especially one with 10,000 miles and full leather!


Someone must grab this up.

PDK is preferred by many, there's a crossover group of people who would never buy a typical autotragic yet prefer PDK over a manual. It's funny in its own, different, right.
Won't doesn't affect resale as much as a Tiptronic.
