This car looks good. GT Silver too. Awesome color and every performance option. Checks all my boxes.

Worth investigating!

I looked for over 18 months. Was in no hurry, when I found what I wanted, at a realistic price, I jumped on it.

You want the 18 way sofa recliners?? The 14 way are better in many respects.

You need to have some compromise in looking at used cars. With millions of custom configurations, there is no way of finding 100% of what you want.

Not a Porsche dealer I believe. Only they can CPO.

Have you tried the different seats?

Most builds with all the performance options don't have the 18 way seats "most" of the time. Harder to find. More of a "boulevard cruiser" option.

Just keep looking everyday. There's new cars always coming up for sale. It will take some time, but something will hopefully come up. Good luck

Can ou take a uncertified car that you bought at one dealership and take it to another dealership and pay for it to be certified?

Finding the right options AND PSE is tough. Be prepared to lay out $4K or a bit less for dealer installation and use that during negotiations. If you remove PSE from the Porsche search engine you get a lot more hits. I had to do that plus compromise on the steering wheel (I now have the MF wheel which I no longer hate, just don't like). Our 2012.5 991 C2s cab was in such good shape with all the other options we wanted and at a killer deal that the PSE add on and the steering wheel compromise was worth it.

I am more impressed and get more enjoyment from this car every time I drive it. And saving $40K+ from MSRP for a launch car makes it that much sweeter.

Hang in there!!

PSE was an easy add on for me (a lot less than 4K). You could even get the steering wheel for $1,500 plus install (which I've contemplated). Those are easy ones and after saving $$$ buying preowned I don't mind spending a little.

Things that you can't add on like SPASM, Sport Chrono, colors, and those kind of options are more critical.
