Auto kennel in California, whom is a known dealer of quality preowned Porsches.
“I just want a 6-speed manual 997.2 Carrera S Coupe.
I get this request frequently. Usually, they follow up with, “I’d reaaalllly like a GTS, but don’t want to spend that much.”
I typically answer, “Yeah, you’re not alone.”
“What do you mean?” they ask perplexed as if there’s a warehouse full of them.
The last time we had a 997.2 C2S manual coupe to sell was 6 years, 7 months, and 23 days ago, which was 649 cars ago; but, who’s counting?
There is something magical about these last generation 997.2 Carrera S Coupes with rear-wheel-drive, 3.8L DFI engine, and 6-speed manual transmission.
Unfortunately, production during that period was at a new low (75% less than the previous 4 years) due to the global financial crisis.
Furthermore, the PDK (automatic dual clutch) transmission was new and all the rage. Production numbers estimate that only 20% were ordered with a manual.
Finally, because most new car orders during that time were coming from the dealers versus individual customers, 55% of the cars were specified in white or black with only 13% ordered in silver.
Out of the 2,575 Carrera S Coupes that came to the U.S. between 2009 and 2012, only 75 were silver with a 6-speed manual.
The real question is how long are you willing to wait for yours?
