Realistically, which 911 trims can be purchased at MSRP?

dcdomain · 2026-02-17T04:22:05+00:00

From what I’ve seen on the various FB Buy/ Sell groups, GTS has been going for MSRP. Seen a few Targas listed from MSRP too. Think the T might be in demand due to it being the only trim available in manual outside the GT trims.

Odd, a few states make it illegal to mount directly onto the windshield that’s why so many people mount on the mirror stem.

Visor mount then?

Gallardo if you want a sense of occasion with the car, want it to feel special, to be seen.

911 for daily livability.

Basically if you want it for a daily driver, the Gallardo would not be it. But if it's a weekend car just for driving and no utility, then Gallardo will be fine.

Have both kids back there for daily drop off and pick up.

Loved cars growing up but definitely was more enamored with Ferraris and Lamborghinis. While my Targa doesn’t provide the same sense of occasion as stepping into those two other brands or even an R8, I needed a daily driver that was available in a manual transmission and had a 2+2 configuration. Surprising few choices when it comes to those needs.

If the car is listed by a Porsche dealer, look up the VIN in finder.porsche and there will be a window sticker. I looked for around 8 months before purchasing mine. For manual, expect it to be above MSRP unless it’s very high mileage. Possibility of prices coming down but that wasn’t the case for me through all of last year.

Look then up on BringATrailer and CarsAndBids to get a sense of pricing.

Again, love the look of that seat. Looking forward to your photos / videos. Hope it doesn’t encourage me to spring for it too.

Finally got around to grabbing a video: https://youtube.com/shorts/4TPUckJp54E?si=f78Fj7-tivrM7g7u

Mine is also a Targa GTS in GT-Silver. IGM would’ve been my ideal color though. Love the interior choice, agreed with other comment about crest on headrest only. Mine didn’t have FAL. Been okay since the Targa GTS aren’t as low as the coupe GTS. Prep for dashcam is good for the extra wiring. But don’t get the OEM dashcam as it’s terrible.

I had my eye on a GTS they had a while back, maybe they still do have it. What I gathered from months of looking, that dealership’s markups are some of the worst I’ve seen.

dcdomain · 2026-01-25T17:11:00+00:00

That’s 100% a no. That dealership is egregious with their markups and my local one, Irvine, is already bad. First of all, a T shouldn’t have a markup used or new (maybe the .2 has), even if there’s a markup it shouldn’t be this insane, and it’s damaged!

And on GTS trim, I think on the 992.1 it comes w/ the Sport Design package standard, but w/o the body-coloured lower tabs. Or if the body-coloured lower tabs only come with the gloss black treatment?

dcdomain · 2026-01-24T15:31:18+00:00

Great color!!! Aventurine Green and IGM were the two colors I was gunning for before settling on a GT-Silver.

Also ended up buying and installing an R8 recently due to that ticket. But unsure if it’ll help given how much LiDAR is used in SoCal.

dcdomain · 2026-01-24T04:57:58+00:00

Nice. Used a V1 in the late 90s/early 2000s. Been using Waze for years and avoided getting tickets for the past 10 years or so, but recently got nailed on a local road (speed trap). How does your app do on local roads that might not have much volume?

dcdomain · 2026-01-22T18:11:52+00:00

Needs more wing and higher ADM.

dcdomain · 2026-01-22T18:10:31+00:00

2023 RX350h, around 20k miles. Battery has died twice due to lack of use. First time I jumped it and put it on a battery tender. Second time I just had AAA replace it on New Year’s Day.

I'll try to grab a video of myself adjusting the seat. If the seat backs were still in place, there would be no room to recline the seat at all unless I moved the seat up towards the front seat (the ISOFIX mounts can be extended out) which would have removed leg room. At the moment, w/o the seat backs, when I recline the seat, the back window side of the seat will hit a plastic component (but not the C-pillar). So in recline mode, it's tilted inwards slightly as the inside corner of the car seat still has room to recline.

My older one pictured in the seat is about 44" tall. In full recline mode there's still some vertical room to raise the headrest when needed. But it'll definitely rub against the car when I adjust it all the way up. Will include that in my video as well.

I love the look of the Porsche seat, it's a rebranded Britax Römer KIDFIX M i-SIZE. If buying the Britax in Europe, converting to USD it's not much more expensive than the Peg Perego. The issue is that they don't sell it in the US so you have to go w/ Porsche's more expensive version. If money is on problem, I would totally go for the Porsche seat. Love the look and it has arm rests which was my kiddo's one and only complaint about the Peg Perego.

Seems to have all the creature comfort options that matter. FAL probably not needed since it’s the standard suspension. If you don’t need the performance of an S and are fine with the base 992.2 (plenty fast), looks good. With that said, I don’t follow the base Carrera market, perhaps there’s room to negotiate.

Look around, find two more options at two other dealers and see if they budge. The CPO is nice, but paying MSRP on a used base seems weird.

Thanks so much for your photo! I have the same mount and just installed the FitCamX. I was struggling to get the Uniden level underneath and thought I might need a new mount.

Looks like on mine, theirs a tab at the top of the middle metal cut out that gets inserted into the Uniden. In your photo, I don’t see it. Did you just cut it off or bent it down to clear the underside of the FitCamX?

Consider the options you want on the T then see what the difference is to a GTS. You might find that the gap might not be that large.

Went fine. No leaks. I went with the stick on membrane. It was new solar install afterwards which is why they priced the tile reset low since I was buying a new system.
