I can only imagine how much it will be to get maintenance up-to-date though.

No, not kidding at all. You obviously have not researched this. The GTS was designed with. a Bespoke suspension which is responsible for the amazing handling and ride that the car is known for. This is well documented. Porsche never intended for the sport suspension option to be ordered in the GTS - it was an S model option. Some people simply checked the box and got it. Without knowing what they were doing. More than one automotive journalist (Road & Track writer is one of them) have flat out said not to buy the sport option which ruins the GTS suspension. The GTS was also nicer intended to be offered with the 4WD system but Porsche marketing caved when a certain far north, cold weather country complained that they would t be able to sell the car without it.

Fairly certain the GTS suspension was just the Sport Suspension. Perhaps the 991 models had 3 suspension options but the 997.2 Carreras had 3 ....Standard (base car) PASM and Sport PASM

Here is a 2011 for $78k that is far better and only has $44k miles. This car is sweet. I pulled Carfax and it was clean.

Are you paying for each carfax you pull ?
Agree about $68k or less being the price in this 78k mike Turbo.

Maybe correct though. They may have pulled it and will reprice later, although I doubt. If they do, the guy putting the deposit is welcome to PM me. I am lawyer and might could make a bit of a mess for them since they took your deposit. I doubt they would make that move over $10k extra profit which is nothing to a dealership in the big scheme of things.

It's possible that multiple people called simultaneously. Whosoever credit card crosses the line first wins!
I had the same thing happen to me when I was building up the courage to take such a big leap and spend the bucks on a Porsche. A year ago or so, there was a very nice 1 owner CPO C4S listed for a couple of day's. I thought about it and finally called on it. The salesman I spoke to sent me picture's and it was a spectacular example. Over the next couple of hours I scrutinized the Carfax and called the different dealers to check maintenance history, etcetera. I hym'ed and hawed and finally called back to move forward on it and was told someone put down a deposit 15 minutes before. Arrgh!
I learned that day that good cars go fast and if you want a particular one, be prepared to move, quickly.

I have actually dealt with this dealer in the past as the have historically priced their used 911s very fairly and much lower than dealerships in larger cities. They and Sonic dealerships are always good places to check for reasonably priced, older 911s. Case in point with this GTS being priced well below market.
Today, I saw where you shyte on the new GT3 photos, shyte on the new super bowl ad, shyte on those likely to buy a Taycan and no you kinda shyte on this dealer. Didn’t seem very happy to me.

Dude, you just kind of bashed a dealer without any evidence or any information to back it up.

^^^^^^^^^^LOL, not difficult to see when the 3 post I reference are quoting mine or in threads I am active in . . ..
Dang, I think this is an indication where 991 values are going . . . in the toilet for base, non-GT cars.
Here is a 991.1 with clean Carfax and not a not a crazy amount of miles for $48k

Early morning search for that just listed unicorn GTS Coupe for $70k and no luck, but here are some just listed manuals that are very interesting:
2011 base Manual Coupe with a clean Carfax for only $44k.
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...8874/overview/
Just listed 2012 GTS Manual Coupe with 31k miles or $87,500. Way too much for that many miles in my opinion.
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...2732/overview/
I like this one: 2009 Turbo Coupe with Manual and only 32k miles for $69,999. Carfax clean.
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...0010/overview/
2011 Turbo Coupe with Manual, 45k miles only $87k. I pulled Carfax and is shows clean.
