Well it's nothing you guys haven't seen before, but here's my new to me 2013 GTS (47k miles...not anymore). Got on a plane at 630am, landed in Miami at 1030am and left at 3pm on a 600+ mile road trip back home.





Just a modest garage, shot of the "family." Let me know if you notice a theme of some sort.



Juuuust fits with the Thruxton tucked in the back.

Oh yeah - you're definitely going to enjoy it. Love the spec on this one! Any mod plans?

Thanks, I'm def diggin the spec too. Actually I skipped on 3 other white ones because the 18 way seats with alcantara did not have ventilated seats (though I test drove a '15 with all leather 18way + ventilated seats, seems like a rare option). One of my absolute deal breakers was ventilated seats haha, so ya.

No plans to "mod," but tint is practically required and gloss black vinyl wrap on the roof...which again seems to be a requirement especially on a white car, at least for me.

I think the exhaust is perfect. I can't believe a stock exhaust can sound this good especially on a car this big, but if I want louder I'll take the ol'Z06 for a spin. Thought about a different set of Turbo wheels to swap out, but again nothing real is planned.

Got this with no warranty and I keep seeing threads about the air suspension issues, which has me squirreling away some funds in case it happens. It's my first Porsche, and though I've done a ton of reading, I'm still a tad nervous about future issues.

Thank you, I'm pretty stoked. I was anxious, nervous, scared and excited on the drive home, thinking to myself, "have I made a huge mistake?" seeing as I bought a Porsche with 47k miles and no warranty (I've got 27 days to decide on the $5k "platinum warranty" offered by Braman. But if I'm honest that's way too expensive... But so are some of these repair bills, not sure what to do) But honestly after driving it for 3 days, I love it and I'm very happy with my decision.

Out of curiosity, have you had any issues since you got it?

I just went thru that as well, picked up a 2010 4S with 56k miles on it, not my first Porsche, but the most I've ever spent one one, my button panel looks exactly like yours, plus my back seats are heated/vented and it has the 4 zone AC.
Interestingly enough it's White as well. The Storm-Trooper car as my daughter calls it.
The more I drive it, the less worried I become and the more I love it.

Hahah YES! Reppin the Galactic Empire huh? It may seem boring but white and black "panda/stormtrooper" is my all time favorite.

Nice find 4S with the options by the way. During my search I quickly discovered the sheer amount of options available meant the combination of such options were ridiculous. Aside from the wheels I'm not sure if there's an option I'm sad about missing.... Ya I'm trying to think and with two days to work with it already, there's nothing I can think of.

I got options I hadn't really been looking for (adaptive cruise control, Burmester stereo) but really enjoy now.
I started looking for a Amethyst car, but as you noted finding the right options combo is crazy.

The only thing that I would like to have that I don't - a backup camera, but the sensors make up for that lack pretty well.

I don't have adaptive cruise or Burmester, which I think would be pretty neat to have, but wasn't a deal breaker. I'm happy with LCA, backup camera w/sensors (which I've never had before, especially on an "analog" car from '01), still not sure about the Sport Chrono, but the air suspension is for sure an amazing feature. My daily commute is 50miles, and I can tell you every crack, seam, dip etc cause my other car is quite unrefined if you will. I'll be damned if the PGTS air suspension isn't an absolute dream on the same road. Love it, and I'm wondering if I'll ever drive my Z06 again haha

it took a little while to finally meet on price - nearly a week - but in the end i love the options this car has. heated/ventilated front and rear, 4-zone climate, sportdesign package, burmester, all sunshades, chrono, pdls...
many years ago, i had a '78 euro 928 in white and thought it looked fantastic. no side mouldings, super clean appearance. for me, this is my 4-door, twin turbo 928 replacement.
