Congrats, the 991.1 is a beautiful looking car, saw two yesterday on my daily walks, one white and one black, both looks and sounded great.

$67K? I'm starting to think that I did blow that deal! That's close to $10K above any other 997.2 I've seen in the past couple of months (I just saw a 2010 C4S listed at my local dealer with PDK and more options at $58K non-CPO).

(muttering under my breath) the 991 is better for me since I'll use it more, the 991 is better for me since I'll use it more, the 991 is better for me since I'll use it more...

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if it sits at that price but full disclosure to the forum; I used materials other than newborn baby skin & tears to wash it and I ran it on plain old 93 octane since the unicorn blood station near me closed down a couple of years ago.

Re: options...it doesn't have much. No sport chrono, no steering wheel controls, manual mirrors, manual lights, etc.. Options were the turbo wheels, navigation, adaptive headlights, heated/ventilated power seats, Bose, and Bluetooth.

Well they (dealers) always will start high, as we all know that when its the one Porsche you want....its the one you want. Plus its CPO which adds cost. But lets see its price trajectory. That price does seem a bit high with low options. I'm guessing it will sell for 62 when its said and done. I got my Carmax 2009 C4S with 28K miles and nice options last month for 50K. No CPO, but I bought the Camax warranty for 2500 dollars, good for 4 years or up to 70K miles, with all work done at Porsche dealer. So its sort of CPO.

I have a 997.2 gts and c4s. Both stick, I feel a pretty noticable difference. I got the c4s for regular driving but always wish it had the gts feeling. Both pasm, both sport chrono.... I keep looking for a 4 gts 6-speed now.

I wouldn't trade down from you're gts.... But at best get a gts 6-speed.

Good luck

a GTS4 is pretty rare, least back here in the USA. I've never even seen one.

of course you do. Then again, John Lobbs (note the correct spelling) are no different to any other leather soled dress shoes. Are these Lobbs st. james or paris?
