  Written by: habitat1 on Jan 14, 2013 2:05:28 PM

  The new model vs. old model boost would make sense (i.e. 991 C4S vs 2012 997 C4S), but I'm not sure that the fact that the "4" lagged the release of the "2" by 8-10 months makes much of a difference. My sales manager - a 30+ year Porsche veteran - indicated that an even higher 60% of their 911 sales for the past few years have been AWD. But, he ... Read More

  Hello again Car_man It's time for another 911. My previous post about the 2012 GTS4 has sold and I'm now looking to 2013 models. I'm considering leasing either a 911S or 4S and would very much appreciate you providing me with the current residuals and money factors for both cars (36 month 10k m/y) terms? Thanks again for your help now and in previous posts!

  Written by: habitat1 on Nov 19, 2012 4:03:09 AM

  I started to look into adding Nav to later model 911's that had the PCM, but not the Nav module. Extremely expensive. I was quoted $3,500-$4,000 just for the part, an estimate of $1,200 labor (need to take apart entire dash). This was from a Porsche dealer that really wanted to sell me a 2012 GTS that had everything but the Nav. To prove that they weren't sticking it to me, ... Read More

  Are you sure that a "nicely equipped" 997 C2S for $96k is what you want? I just attended a Porsche driving event at Summit Point Raceway and had the chance to do 6 laps behind the wheel of a 2013 991 C2S. Followed by a hot lap with the instructor in the driver's seat for good measure. After having owned a 997 C2S for 30k miles, I can say with some ... Read More

  I've talked to a few dealers that sound like they would be willing to give a better discount on a 2012 "new 911 Carrera" than a 2013. But you have to find what you want in stock. I have checked almost every dealer website in the US using the "find a dealer" tab on Porsche USA and there are very, very few 911's in my color preferences with the options I ... Read More

  I don't see what you're worried about since it's a certified car with extended warranty. Service records are nice to have especially on something like an early 911 (1966 to 1973), but you usually don't get them.
