New Turbo 25K Off
 
Saw this at Porsche Burlingame (San Francisco Airport) over the weekend. 175K sticker, will sell for 150K. Straight Turbo, not an S and not PCCB. Photo from Google but car was there on Saturday. The black Turbo S Cab in the background sold when a couple flew down from Seattle unannounced, walked in, saw it, bought it.

Why the big discount?

You know, I was so in awe I didn't ask. I was too busy trying to come up with the money in my mind... Car had only delivery miles, never driven, brand new. They received seven '15 Turbo/Turbo S/coupes/cabs from the factory and this is the last one. They also had a mint pre-owned '15 GT-3 in a special Paint to Sample bright blue, wheels in silver, yellow seat belts (black interior).

I suppose if you want a new car...

If it were me I'd spend 70 to 80k on a 997 Turbo and keep the rest. :)

991.2 is about to hit dealers, they want to clear these .1s out.

Darn, I am only 140K short.....
Maybe I should start one of those gofundme pages.

That's what I would do.. Zero interest in the 991s, Turbo or not.

You sure? Looks like it has PCCB brakes to me. Big plus, if so.

I had the same opinion until I drove one and spent a little time with it. Turbo S, pretty loaded. Incredible car.

Looking at the pic I think you're right. The white one I saw Saturday didn't have PCCBs and had the dark glass roof panel for the sunroof.

Yes, many ways to spend the money but one of these and an air-cooled car or two would make a nice stable. I drove my buddy's 997.2 PDK 4S with Sport Chrono, Sport Suspension, etc., all day Saturday along the coast, twisty roads, freeways and had a damn good time. Would be happy to spend the money.

And one has to wonder if the factory is helping subsidize the 25K discount?
