Agree, I also notice that the car doesn't have PSE (which can be added post-purchase or you can go after-market). At this price point, which is still very rich, you shouldn't have to settle. Keep looking and you should be able to find something that more closely matches your wish list, assuming you decide to go pre-owned and not special order a new car.

I think you can do better as well. I just picked up my cay last month and struck what I believe was an outstanding deal.

Power Steering Plus and lack of Sport Chrono and Sport Design steering wheel will be deal killers for many on resale.

So that makes the new list price $127k or so? You could buy a new one for $122k or less.

Don't buy a 991 without sport chromo period. Just keep looking. The hunter repeats his rewards when he finds just the right car.

The very first post on this page explains why it's so sought after.

Actually I seem to see more people wanting the sport design wheel. The shifter on the multi function wheel is a joke and stupid engineering.

the reason you may be getting a good deal is the exact reason you may have take a hit in re-selling which to me is the Sports Chrono option.

I would pass and continue looking for a car with better performance options (Sport Chrono, PSE, SPASM) especially if you're concerned about resale value down the road. I also agree with others that this doesn't seem to be such an awesome "deal."

I thought I'd update and close out this thread... Like most Porsche fanatics I went through a thousand configurations and choices and eventually went with the one that spoke to me: 50th Anniversary Edition. Could not be happier! See you around the beltway!





991 50th Anniversary Edition - Graphite Grey
