sir we can talk offline about that, unfortunately gmail/facebook and all that stuff is blocked due to OPSEC but I can get you that info via PM or gmail later in the week once we depart our current operating area if that's ok?

That's fine. As I said, just a matter of curiosity, not needed for anything in contemplating.

its something that is a HUGE factor for me. although it seems like aftermarket warranty may be the way to go with the over revs

I would say go for it.

I paid $80K last November for my '12 GTS cab. Heavily optioned. Original sticker was $135K. Plus clear bra back to the doors. 5-lug wheels (that was important, 6MT, leather everything, including A/C vents. Carrara White over adaptive Espresso leather seats; painted seat backs and dash trim. Cocoa top. 13K miles. CPO.

Very, very happy with the value I got and with the car. Added short shift kit.
Sold my '13 991 7MT and never miss it. This car is more involving, intuitive and analog. They're both beautiful, but the 997 is holding its value better.

There are two CPO cabs on the Porsche Locator website currently, a white one with 30k miles and listed at 75k!!! I am fairly sure it was at 80 or so about 2 months ago.


Looking for a GTS, but wouldn't mind a 997.2 Turbo if I found one at the right price and condition. GTS seems more rare, I have been seeing .2 Turbos pop up fairly often, and a few GTS here and there but no rush. Rather buy a car from a member over a dealership, but we will see what happens if/when I find the car.

I saw that. Got some more info from Lease Masters and the audacity of those people. Real shady group. Real real real shady. And they know nothing about their cars.


Its already sold according to them.

Finding "your" car is quite a process, but rewarding when you purchase it and drive it home.

If you want a GTS get one, just be prepared to hunt for the options you think necessary.

I find the rarity and uniqueness a priority for the purchase and came away with a 2011 GTS c2 mt coupe.

Each time I drive this car I am amazed how it does everything so well. It's my 4th Porsche and will be the last one I purchase, they are just great cars.
