When I click through I see a price of $113k not $130k. For $130k you could get an awful lot of newer car.

Sorry I wasn't clear, that $130k is just info from the build sheet. We got in at $72k with CPO until June 2021

This is the wife here. I am not in love with the GTS decals below the front doors. Hubby is indifferent. I'm thinking we should take them off but then I change my mind. Any opinions out there about the decals? Love them or hate them?

My GTS didn’t have them when I bought it and I like it that way better but that’s just me

Would like to hear experiences and opinions if the final 2016 year V8 GTS is a good catch. I'm a recent Porsche convert. Bought all MBZ, BMW, GM 30+ cars over the years then just bought 2015 Panamera base, and this month 997.Gen2 Now I'm all in with 2 Porsches. I read that naturally aspirated GTS V8 is last in 2016, so am wondering will the Panamera v8 (no turbo) be collectable or at least more desirable in the long run? or go to
a TT as a better bet?

I don’t see any Panamera being a collectible or going up in value, which I like so I don’t feel like I have to preserve the car. I bought it to drive it for as long as the car will let me. However if you do decide on the GTS you won’t be disappointed its a great car love the sound (especial in a tunnel haha), drives fantastic and properly quick for a big car. All that and you put people / stuff in it and go for a long drive. I haven’t driven any TT models as I am fan of NA engines, and after driving this one more power was not needed AT ALL at least not for me. Would I take a TT HELL YEAH but that would just get me in more trouble so I think the GTS is a sweet spot.

Totally agree. I’ve tracked mine once too and it is amazing 4 door hot hatch that is also incredibly comfortable. Drive it and enjoy it!

This is one of the main reasons we bought the GTS, plenty of power and great for a road trip. It's replacing our 2012 M3 (E92, 2-door for those not familiar with the codes) which is our weekend fun car and road trip car (an old X3 gets DD duties). Last fall we took a 2500 mile trip with the dog and a ton of stuff in it's cavernous trunk.

Based on our recent car search, we were looking at cars for several months, I do agree with neptune36 that the GTS will be more desirable in the long run. During my search I found the asking price on 2015 PGTS to be 40-45% off of the original MSRP. Non-GTS were closer to 45-50% off of the original MSRP. These numbers were from cars with 15-25k miles. Lower and higher milage cars would have lower and higher discounts accordingly.

I’ve thought about doing a track day but thought hmmm maybe not but now that you’ve done it I’m taking PCA up on their track days!

Sounds like a great deal very similar to mine. I do like the Black/Red interior.
