Is the new owner of this car anyone here?

I was just down at the dealer picking mine up from service and saw the Sold tag on this beauty in the showroom. SA mentioned it was an out of state buyer. Gorgeous spec.

Strong money for a higher mile 2012. CPO + 6 speed adds some value.

The .2s were improved in a lot of ways (better suspension, better interior, more power, no coolant lines/camshaft issues), and they're a few years newer (most .1s are 07s; .2s are at least 2010s, and 2012 is still pretty "new"). Not to mention the scarcity on the 6mt coupes. The one in the OP is a pretty strong price though, I'm impressed if it sold near that.
That 09 in the marketplace seems a little high to me with those miles, honestly, and I say that as someone with nearly the same car. Fixed coolant pipes and new clutch are nice perks, granted.

How is the "suspension" different?

Improvements to PASM from lessons learned with their first attempt, plus optional Torque Vectoring.
Quick rundown copy/pasted:
Quick rundown copy/pasted:
- Stiffer rear spring
- Stiffer anti sway bar: Front bar only for cars without PTV, front AND rear for cars with PTV.
- Stiffer rear bushing to "control lateral movement."
- PTV: Reduces understeer (increases oversteer).
- PTM: More gradual change and more rear bias; in essence the car behaves more like a RWD car in corners.

Interesting. Porsche use the GT2 RS rear bar?
(that's what a lot of .1 guys use).

Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was standard or part of the Torque Vectoring or Sport Chrono package or what, but that's another nice improvement that really modernizes the platform.

Indeed. Especially since the dealer most likely acquired it for about $90K.That was the listing price at an Illinois Porsche dealer a few months (2) back. Went from one to the other with a $20k price jump. Price inflation tactics maybe.
