Opinion on 991.2 GTS residuals and current pricing

[GazzyFizzle]

I’m potentially about to get into a 991.2 GTS, and will be financing it. Personal circumstance is, I can’t quite buy one outright but I also want to keep my cash for a potential property change. Fact - interest rates are woeful at the moment.

I’m reasonably new in the 911 scene but have wanted a 991.2 GTS for a while, and am surprised at the current pricing having remained almost static for the last couple of years?! Am I right? Is that normal?

I know no one has a crystal ball, but what is general current opinion and consensus on current pricing and residuals/future values?

I don’t want to start a riot but just curious on the current take on the 991.2 GTS market now and going forwards.

Thanks!

Read the thread on 991.2 turbo issues before you buy, especially if you are financing and don’t buy with a Porsche Warranty. GTS seem to be more prone. Prices are coming down due to this issue.

Prices are gradually coming down along with the normal trend for 911s. Have a look at earlier cars and you’ll get an idea where you stand. All generations of 911s have their specific issues and there’s no evidence whatsoever that turbo issues are driving down values.

If you need to be careful then get a car with a warranty and enjoy. Modern Porsches can have electrical gremlins, sunroof issues, PDK issues, dynamic engine mount issues, sensor issues, etc etc. The fewer toys and extras the better in many ways. You can potentially warranty these cars up to being 15 years old, or if you have a slush fund you can provide your own personal warranty and you may win or you may lose.

Thanks. To confirm. The car would be from an OPC with the full OPC warranty, which I'd extend with the car.

If you’re financing via OPC then the safest bet would be on a PCP and then you at least know what the worst case scenario will be. I’d say prices will drop at a fairly steady rate similar to what has been seen before levelling off however it’s all just guesswork really! At least with the OPC warranty (that can be extended at reasonable prices) you protect yourself against any unforeseen repair costs.

Enjoy the car, it’s one of the best iterations. Sports saloons/executive cars/M3s etc will all depreciate much more rapidly.

Great cars, lots of them, I’d buy GTS alcantara interior only, if poss clear glass. It will lose money, but I don’t see in the current market a 444bhp everyday-able, genuinely reliable performance car that won’t
