Somebody was in the mood to check all the boxes when ordering this example. Best color too.

I thought it actually showed up as an S/4S which is what I thought might have happened when the dealer I purchased mine from listed it as an S. I checked rates on it with my credit union and they were valuing it as an S. Loan value didn’t matter as I paid 1/2 down, but I thought it funny how it came up in banking system as well.

Mine was still covered by CPO for around 10 months when it was traded in on a new Mercedes and only had about 5k miles put onnit during CPO period.
That's funny, I ran into the exact same issue today. I also am financing 50% of it through my CU and they couldn't value a GTS either. Eventually they settled on valuing it as an S car because they had nothing else to go on. They use the NADA guide foe car values which doesn't include a GTS, but because of the cash down it really didn't matter. I had to explain this is a low production, exclusive car that's much more valuable. They agreed but had nothing to go by, and in the end it wasn't an issue anyways.

Yes, and a manual to boot. I was quite excited when I put the deposit down. I'm not normally a yellow car person, much more conservative usually but how often does a manual GTS show up? With sport seats and full leather? I'm not sure, but this may be the only Speed yellow manual GTS Cab. Either way, I like Speed Yellow now.

A 911 screams look at me so why not a yellow one. Goes in for a PPI on Thursday and a flight out to consummate the deal on Saturday.

Thank you, it only has 16k miles and CPO. Supposed to be up to date on all maintenance. I fully expect it to come back clean. Has a hard wired radar and a clear bra on the front clip. I really hope all goes as well as I think it will. I've been looking for this one for over a year and a half. I'm trying not to get too excited until the paperwork is signed. Once I have the title, game on.

That’s probably the most exciting spec I’ve seen for any GTS. I’m not even a convertible guy but I would buy that car just because it is so unique. Good luck!

I'll update the thread with what I find out, fingers crossed.

The price is now 51,998, looks like it was 49k back in June in Cali
How did it go checking this one out? Any news to report?
Hopefully, congratulations to you are in order!

Purchased the car on sunday, got it inspected yesterday, and everything checked out good, no issues! DME report was clean, zero range 3-6 over revs. Some small scratches in the paint but a full detail should get rid of most of it. Now I just need some good weather and empty roads to really enjoy it!

Whoa. That's crazy low. 3,346 miles! It'll be back online near $60k in a week.
