Default '16 P4 or '13 GTS?

My wife totaled her '12 base Panny last week. The '16 P4 is at Carmax, would have to pay $450 to transfer it, it has 24k on it. The GTS is being prepped in Austin right now and will be CPO'd, so both will have 2 years warranty. The GTS has about 35k on it and would probably be about $5k less to buy.
I'm trying to convince her that the GTS is a better buy and will depreciate slower since it's older (not to mention it's way more badass). The only thing the GTS doesn't have that's on her wish list is ventilated seats (has Alacantra).
Thoughts?

I have alcantara seats and haven't found them to get hot at all. Even when getting into the car after it was sitting out in 123° for close to an hour. I do have the thermal glass so that probably helped.

Certainly if it was for my car and price being relatively equal (and probably both over my budget) I'd go with the GTS, esp. since the low mileage (my '12 P4 that I just picked up had 76K). Of course, if its going to be her car and she's happy with "just" a P4.....so be it!

I talked her into the GTS. The dealer is going to send a loaner car here until it's ready in about a week. I think it's the better buy and will be worth more in 4-5 years.
