Bye M2/3, Hi 911 GTS

elusive · 04-09-2016, 08:35 PM

Nice!!! More pics!

Bemo · 04-10-2016, 08:05 AM

More pics soon, the car is still in Florida. I don't have a high resolution camera but I promise to give you the best possible iPhone quality!

Finding a shipping company and a reputable XPEL installer in CT are my immediate priorities.
The former is a lot cheaper than the latter.

Very cool, so far I have had a very good experience with the dealer. I was able to negotiate down the price, a little back & forth, but we eventually agreed on a fair deal. Safe to assume same for you?

Can't say the same about the latter.

Regardless, congrats!

The prize is the 911.

M2 is nice but not in the same league.

Congrats OP 911 >>>>>>>>>>m2

Crazy good deal too. Hard to believe that's 2 models years old already. You made the right choice though.

Mr. Liu · 04-10-2016, 12:08 PM

Looking to make the same move myself - waiting for 991.1 prices to drop and pick up a CS or Targa C4S on the low!

Analog Imports · 04-11-2016, 03:58 PM

More pictures!!! Congrats!!

Longboarder · 04-11-2016, 05:44 PM

Love the GTS. But how do you change gears manually? With your thumbs?

Yes. Better than the paddle shifters as getting caught in a sharp terms leaves you looking for the paddles and, consequently, often in the wrong gear, IMHO and experience.
It finally arrived today, some pics attached

adobeee · 04-27-2016, 11:17 PM

How did you manage to get a deep discount?

It's a 2015 and 2017's are around the corner

OP... awesome car. I almost bought a red 911 GTS last summer. It was PDK and I wanted a MT. Had it been a MT, it likely would be in my driveway now. Loved the car.

Been the case for me a few times. Luckily, they were pretty far out of my budget, so I actually had to think hard about having to really cut back on other things

Not easy to find 7MT cars that's in a color you want.

ridin135 · 04-29-2016, 07:28 AM

Congrats man you will love it. I would highly recommend the sport steering wheel though.

991GT3 · 05-01-2016, 01:23 AM

Awesome. I am jealous.

No way would I trade this carbon fiber multi function steering wheel for anything less. Love the paddle shifters at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions.

Car's in for a full XPEL and some kind of ceramic "wax like" coating.

Will post high resolution photos by Friday afternoon next week.

jlstyle · 05-01-2016, 10:30 PM

Awesome looking car!

E92LNGCGY · 05-02-2016, 04:15 PM

Congrats OP. That is a great deal you got. Yellow and black is very sharp especially with the GTS black accents.

jmg · 05-04-2016, 06:58 PM

Did you get the price down to under $100k? If so, WOW, congrats!! I'd love to jump on a deal like that.

chris82 · 05-04-2016, 09:07 PM

Love it love it love it, that interior is GORGEOUS!

Vetsky · 05-05-2016, 06:22 AM

Congrats, only thing missing are the centerlock wheels.

I hate the 7 speed manual. I wish they had made it in 6 speed. the 991R will be a 6 speed, someone realized that 1 gear too many. woot woot the sound of police.
