I'm curious what this sells for, its pretty much the perfect spec to me if/when I replace the 135 and make the smart choice to avoid an AMV8

Ugh I love that car. Already over what I want to spend. I am firmly stuck in the low mileage 14 981 S range price wise.

luckily, I have about 2 yrs for the bottom to fall out of the P-car market and this to be in my 'affordable' range.

@wdc, what don't you like about the alcantara? It looks pretty comfy, wouldn't get hot in the sun like leather and should hold you in place well.

It's like chalk on a blackboard to me. Also, it can pill.

That GTS is a pretty car, but why spend all that money on a 981 GTS when you can buy a 987.2, get similar performance, and spend...half? The 987s remain the greatest bargain in the performance car world (to my chagrin). The 981s...aren't.

For me the looks and esp the interior are worth the 13-14 981 s increase in price(not so much the GTS). This will also be my only car so those matter.

That's lovely. Although I'm not a huge fan of "Alcantra" aka ultrasuede.

Am I wrong to think $56k wasn't a bad price for this car? I can't get my head around how to value any p-car these days. I would have thought the color, options, etc on this one would have pushed it over $60k

That color is beautiful. I love the 981 body as well.

I can't wrap my head around Porsche values either. $56k doesn't seem bad at all from a buyer's perspective, but it also didn't sell at that price, so obviously the seller expected more.
