It's an amazing car, really.

If one day I sell it I am sure I'll look back at it with regret.

Thanks btw for all your pms, really unexpected, as said few posts above, at the moment I cannot cope with all your requests unless you want to buy it straight away unconditionally - joking - however I'll keep you posted when and where the car will end up.

I did PM you regarding your bucket seats, long shot but if you had the Silver GTS pack like me if happy give my mint Sports Plus seats push a good amount of cash for the buckets ££££.

Sorry Jay, looks I didn't pick it, got Carmine red GTS interiors, however I would not do it as it would ruin the value of the car.

You could buy the bucket seats from Porsche and have them re-stitched? They'll cost you though - £8k the pair!

Well, go and tell this to my OPC which came with lots of negativity, they got one sat there not selling, also complaining about buckets not for everyone...usual excuses to drop value of the car....

Advantages of owning several GTS at the same time, you get the chance to compare the regular and bucket seats, both have advantages and disadvantages..

Mate list it privately and I'm sure it will go. Or put in PX for a better deal as the dealer will make a bit on your car and the car he is selling. I had a great PX private against a GT4 with Wilmslow Porsche, the 4 just wasn't for me.

Drop me a PM on how much your after a friend sold his high spec S in the spring went in a week, but now regrets it and is on the look out.

I can imagine bucket seats not for the majority in this car, different though if it was a GT4.
I do like to track the car lightly a few times a year, mainly to open the throttle safely, and even so I would be hesitant to get buckets as I also do a few longish journeys with the car and like the comfort of normal seats. Why did you spec buckets in your GTS? Do you mainly use it for track days?

Bucket seats work best for me...

The GT2 style folding buckets are still comfortable once you're in them. My issue is that they're fixed height and sit higher in the cabin than sports seats on their lowest setting. To others it's not an issue but personally I would avoid them for that reason.

I did notice that they sat higher. But sat in a 991.2 GT3 and they seemed to sit at a good position. The 918 seats just seem to be too wide and don't support my legs as I'd want from the bolsters. I need a narrow seat.

I'm back in love with my GTS, after making a few simple changes, the gearshift is amazing. You have a manual don't you?

Just sad winter is coming frown
