Alcantara is nice, but prefer the leather (not only because of seat ventilation)

 

In my opinion the alcantara gives the car a more sports/race look compared to the leather.

 

I second that.
To me, GTS is about Sport and should get sporty attributes like
Adaptative sport seat with alcantara
Sport Chrono
Red belts
Carbon inserts
Sport exhaust
GTS logo on headrest
and more stuff like that.

 

Opinions on Carmine Red exterior?

 

A GREAT color! Looks spectacular.

 

I bought a used PTT with CPO coverage. It only transfers when purchased from a Porsche dealer or private party - not an independent dealer.

 

Ordered my 2016 GTS in carmine red. Spectacular color and very unique.

 

Wow- I thought it would follow the car.

 

It did for me - purchased from PP.

 

Anyone have on hands experience with buying any CPO Porsche from an independent dealer?

 

Ok- 2013 PTT with 30k for around 72k loaded up or a 2013 PGTS with 30k for around 62k.

What would you guys choose- I'm leaning towards the PGTS but seems like the turbos have some killer deals!!

 

If you post the VIN#s, we can compare apples to apples
Personally, the GTS would be my choice

 

I don't have anything bad to say about either car - I drove both before making my decision. In the end, I purchased a PTT that had all of the sporty options that the GTS had, which were extremely important to me (not many of the dealer-ordered PTTs come with all of the GTS-like options).

What clinched it for me was the noticeable different the PTT pulled out of a curve vs. the GTS. Also - while I love the alcantara seating, I also like the ventilated seats - too bad both can't be had!
