I've looked at mine and thought it looked very new for a 4 year old car. I think it may have been taken off and a new one added recently. Original owner is listed as Swindon OPC.

Also just seen that yours doesn't have the extended leather package, so not identical to mine. Everything else is the same.

How are you liking it so far? Are you going to add miles or try and keep it mega low like it is?
It's a second car, but it's a driver not a garage queen.
It's feels like a bit of a handful after the CR. The CR was sharper. The GTS feels much more elastic in it's responses. Perhaps that's down to the wet weather and the fact that I haven't used the sport setting yet. The noise is quite different. It's deeper with less induction noise, and a bit more exhaust. Which could be louder with PSE engaged. It also seems to thirstier than the CR. I'm averaging 18MPG compared to mid 20's in the CR.

this will make you sick as it does me back in late 2011 i could have bought an aqua blue gts from an opc with 1000 miles on the clock for a fiver under £60k and it was up for sale for agesfrown
at roughly £80k new with well chosen extras they really were bargains and some of the lucky even secured at discount on the new price as the 991 was released!
late 2011 really was a good time to buy a new/new preregd delivery miles or nearly new porsche!!!!
Yes but as seems to be the case with all Porsche cars of late, used prices have remained steady or risen. Certainly my 2 previous cars have been cost neutral.
My GTS has only covered a few more miles than the one you mention at 2800, and so feels brand new. I'm quite happy with the price I paid given the current market.
The Gts has gone up in value even in the last year! Saw your car up for sale a few weeks back and thought it was a nice purchase and was tempted myself because very few manuals with sports pasm and LSD!
Got to be a keeper and the value is only going one way

GTS is definitely thirstier - it's an absolute peach though. I love it's handling traits especially at or above the limit. Take it on a track day, you'll have a riot!

I was planning on getting some on track driver tuition when the weather starts to brighten up again.

Yes. Identical spec. Was yours a demo car or pre-reg by an OPC?

How come the miles are so low?
Neither, it was a factory order for someone.

Apparently purchased by someone that lived overseas and then bought by someone that never got round to driving it, hence the reason for the sale.

Note to myself - must get round to driving mine more often!

Only covered 600 miles in nearly two months since I picked it up from 911V and the drive home was 150 of them...

I've put 400 miles on mine since Friday and have a 600 mile trip planned this weekend!

Bought my GTS from 911V (the last one they had in White) and love it to bits! Great service from Tom and the 911V guys too.

Sure you're going to love it!

Although you may need a Sharkwerks exhaust mod to give it some 911 soul...

Enjoy!
