Redracn Posted 26October, 2018 Report Share Posted 26October, 2018 I have a second set of rims/tyres for my .2 GT3 with PS4S and I cannot feel any differance with ride quality on our crap regional roads. Possibly a small improvement in tyre noise over the CUP2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardman Posted 28October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 28October, 2018 Finally took a few half decent photos that capture the colour in different lights. Unfortunately, these are the pics that I am putting up on carsales... Beautiful car, but its not a good fit for me at this stage in life. Now on the hunt for a 991.1 GTS / E92 M3 - manual of course.

Skidmarks Posted 29October, 2018 Report Share Posted 29October, 2018 I solved my similar dilemma this way ... A Ranger to get around in. Easy on the back, rear seats, tows and who cares where you leave it. Voltarin. Easy. PS - just saw the Carsales advert. Great pics but baby #2 must be keeping you busy with 150 missed calls ...

Suggest thats a desirable enough car that they could probably assist with your GTS hunt. I went in to buy a new 991.2T and decided I wanted a 991.1 3.8S, PCM sourced a used car for me in the spec I was looking for Worth asking if you haven't already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. I really spent a lot of time speccing this car to exactly what I wanted. Even though I had to construct what it would look like in my head, I had a really good feeling on how it would all look together. None of that makes it any easier to sell, but I'm just being realistic, it will sit undriven for 99% of the time, and I will be driving the boring family car to get around. Life it too short to be not doing exactly what you want to be doing at any given time, and I want to be driving a fun car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but your car is now second hand and there is stamp duty for the new buyer to pay ($17000) so I suggest that you look to drop the price by at least $20000 for a quick sale. If not then the back will continue to ache for a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 29October, 2018 Report Share Posted 29October, 2018 14 X 991.2 GT3 on market, a sign of the times? This clubsport at $350k looks cheap when there a dreamer with a 2015 991.1 on there for $295k I'm thinking $200k 991.1s and $300k 991.2s could be a possibility.......? 2017 Porsche 911 GT3 991 Auto MY18 7,860 km Coupe Automatic 6cyl 4.0L Petrol PrivateFor more information on this vehicle please visit:https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2017/SSE-AD-5736469 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRK930 Posted 29October, 2018 Report Share Posted 29October, 2018 Don’t these retail for around $320k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 29October, 2018 Report Share Posted 29October, 2018 $356k drive away, no options (assuming touring is the same). A decently optioned one does add $50k to the price though. Clubsport was a zero cost option this time around, but you had to spec your seats independently. 918 fixed buckets were $13k for example. The dearest one i’ve seen so far had about $90k in options. I can check but most of the cars online are listed at or near what the owner would have paid drive away, (probably so you can haggle for stamp duty) except for the silver one with close to 8000km, that’s got around $30k in options on it so is listed at a bit of a haircut. Lets see who blinks first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 30October, 2018 Report Share Posted 30October, 2018 You have to be among the privileged few to be granted your PTS wish......all for a frankly ridiculous $20k. Porsche option pricing is out of control but they get away with it through exclusivity, you don't want to pay, you lose your spot. Margin on the upgrades must be massive. The $1,600 for keyless start on a Macan was enough to make me walk. Can't imagine loading up $90k in options ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common knowledge that we get gouged on new car prices here, it is also quite alarming how much cheaper Porsche options are in the UK!! But people keep paying it so Porsche keep charging it!! Imagine if you were getting your car painted at a body works and the guys said that will be $20k more for the colour you want...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
