I don’t know the data that well. I’m sure one could dig for it.

Thought I would see more 992s in and about LA and they still seem rare out and about on the highway system.

Sounds like the car dealer side of the business is adapting just fine.

If could land a 992.2 allocation this would be my build. Yes, I like boring ass grey! The interior steps it up a bit.

I did reel in my build as it was initially at $169k.

I like it..especially if you go with the red interior. I guess you're not alone since they brought back Agate grey after a hiatus.

I like red interiors when they are done properly. I have had several BMWs with various red interiors. I was unaware Agate had taken a hiatus.

Hm managed to get mine down to almost 140, and I’ll be very honest—I do not think this is 40k more car than a 718 GTS.

Exactly. I played around a bit a while back and pretty quickly got past $140k. And I recall getting to around $180k on a GTS.

Here's my minimum spec 911:
https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PPYJ83R6

Got down to ~124k by sticking with Carrera T. Is it 24k better than a GTS 4.0? I doubt it. Also weird that you can't spec the 14 way seats on the T.

Or Bose. Moto-Man in his review of the T stated that he would take a manual C2S with rear steering over the T.


Edit: As base as I can get with a 992 C2S and truthfully I do not love it as much as the other build above. https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PP5KEV61
