WTB 997.2 GTS Coupe, Manual
 
Looking to purchase a 2011 or 2012 Carrera GTS coupe in manual. Prefer white or red but will consider any color.

Must have:
6 sp manual
sport seats (manual ok)
sport suspension
limited slip rear
less than 40k miles, prefer around 30k.
good service history

Nice to have:
sport chrono
full leather

Ready to buy as soon as I find the right car. $75k is the top of my range but willing to pay that for a lower mileage example that checks all the boxes for me. I'm in NJ but willing to travel and ship from anywhere in US. If you have something that matches what I'm looking for, let's talk.
Thanks in advance!

Mine is higher than your budget but I can assure you it is absolutely perfect. I think it checks all the boxes. This car won't disappoint anyone who sees it. https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...-flawless.html

I saw your ad and indeed the car is stunning. Unfortunately it's out of my range, price wise. $75k is really my top and I'm sure you can get more than that for the pristine, low mileage example you have.

I would wait and shop around. Last summer when I was looking for a GTS a lot were being sold by smaller dealerships for low 70s, then being bought up by bigger dealerships and sold for 10k more.

Jon at Overton, I know youre running a business but you were trying to sell me that Red GTS for 4-5k more than the gent had it listed on the PCNA website haha! Its ok, ive bought cars from there and sold them to friends. I just thought it was funny when you sent me the exact car I was already looking at :roflmao:

Overton piuts a TON of resources into prepping the cars. Not just park and flip.
good luck OP! You've got a tough chore ahead.

I think there's a red one on PCA for like 69k.

There was a white one a while back that was literally the perfect spec for me... waited too long and now it's gone.. :(

Thank you . I'm glad someone knows how things are done.



As for the Red GTS Comment from another user. That red GTS was not me trying to sell you a car for 4 to 5k more than it was listed somewhere else. That was a consginment vehicle, I was contacted directly by the owner and told what to list it for . He then pays me a 3% fee if I sell it. I was not aware of the ad with a lower price at the time . I'm not like these other guys that will try to just buy a car and ship it from the previous owner to you and make 5k . The GTS I have currently we've sunk $4500 into to get it to where it is now . We stand to make $1500 to 2k on the car at the most. Don't think I need to be called out for trying to make that on a super rare example that I've worked hard on to get to where it's at.

No worries. I don't begrudge anyone for asking top dollar for hard to find items. The market is driven by supply and demand and right now there is very little supply. That's just the reality of it. If i wasn't confined to a budget I'd snag your GTS in a heartbeat. Hope you sell yours and I'm sure eventually I will find mine.

It's not a GTS, but 4s coupe and you could probably save a few bux. Does have a sharkwerks center muffler delete, so a little more bark than usual.

I have a tentative deal in the works on a GTS but please keep any alternatives coming in case something falls through. I'll update/close this thread if the sale goes through. Thank you to everyone for the leads sent here and via PM so far.

Starting to get a bad feeling that the seller is jerking me around, so the search is still on until I have something definitive. .

I've got a close friend with a white 2011 GTS, manual who is thinking of upgrading to a Turbo. I've reached out to him. If he's ready to sell, I'll put the two of you in touch.
