991.2 GTS or wait for the 992?
Discussion
Having sold the R8 some while ago I am itching for another sports car, this time looking at a 911 as I would like to share some driving time with the family (the R8 was not good at that). The GTS seems the sweet spot of the range but after a discussion with my local OPC it appears that production of the 991.2 variants is pretty much complete (I am aware of the factory shutdown), with only C4S and C4GTS available for deliveries possibly early 2019.
Now the 992 is not expected to launch until September, but a deposit now secures an early build slot. Again my OPC suggest it could be 18 months from now before I see the 992 on my drive, and for a GTS variant most likely more. I am really keen to be able to spec a new car built to my specification, looking on approved used there is not a big cost margin (new vs nearly new)...only the wait is the problem.
I am just not sure I want to take a C4GTS for early 2019, if there would be an option to spec a 992 GTS for delivery later in 2019 I would just go that route (the dealer is suggesting buy both, but then he would....the cost to change would be high). I had not realised the build run on 991.2 GTS was pretty much done, I was looking to place a deposit for 2019 delivery car (allowing myself time to count the cost of a current house extension/renovation), but it appears if I miss out on the current model...I could be due a serious wait.

I'm in a similar position to you in either speccing a 991.2 C4 GTS if slots are possible or wait for a 992 variant.
The problem is that all the C4 S, GTS, Turbo models won't be around for ages and I need to get out of my car sometime this year ideally.
This guy expects the 992 GTS model to be released around 2021 so my thinking is get a 991.2 C4 GTS now and see what the new models are like and upgrade in a few years if necessary......
First world problem and all that but hey ho

Just watched that vid, if correct 2022 for the 992.1 GTS....jeez!The problem is that all the C4 S, GTS, Turbo models won't be around for ages and I need to get out of my car sometime this year ideally.

Could make the last of the line C4S GTS a good buy?
