Wanted to get everyone’s opinion on what to do. Currently have a 718 Boxster S on order for December delivery customized exactly how I want it ($105k msrp) and to be picked up 3.5 hrs from where I live. At the same time, a 2023 CPO GTS 4.0 is now available locally with 3700 miles at a price of 111k (original sticker 98k). I might be able to get them to sell at 105k.

what does everyone think?

thanks!

GTS, 4.0

I have a 2018 CGTS and a 2022 Boxster 25. If I could ONLY have one, it would be the B25 with the 4.0. The 2.5T in the CGTS is great and I really enjoy driving it. But the 4.0 is special. We traded our 2.0T Boxster for the B25 with absolutely no regrets.

For reference, saw this today:

Is the 111k pricing ridiculous though or pretty market and worth it?

I was offered $105 for this one, so over MSRP for a CPO seems high.
Personally, I would go with the 4.0 over any turbo version.

$111K is too much. $105 or less IMO.

4.0 No brainer. And I own and love a 718 S 2.5.

Test drive a 4.0 if you haven’t yet. The hype is mostly justified

Craigdeguz

Thanks for all the responses so far. Test driving is bit of a challenge. Dealers around me are a bit difficult allowing that.

as far as spec, the GTS build isnt exactly what I would have chosen especially the red top but I think I can get over that. The S I build mostly has cosmetic choices I love but the GTS probably has better mechanical choices like psam torque vectoring and a NA six. Anyone feel like the turbo 4 has qualities similar to a GTI or WRX? I’ve had 3 different GTIs in my life and definitely don’t want that same feeling.

Why would you pay over sticker for a used GTS? I've got a demand order in (next in line I'm told) at sticker. BTW, I did test drive the base boxster and the sound was not bad! I think the S with the extra power would be perfect - and if it is tweaked the way you like, stay with that. Or ask if you can upgrade to a GTS at MSRP. Never settle on a car - you will never fall in love with it.

GTS for sure. If it helps, I bought my 2022 Boxster 25 with 8.6 k miles for 100k. Original MSRP was 109k. Car has full PPF. I negotiated 2 new rear tires and one additional year of CPO warranty.

Are you getting a discount on the 718 S?
Does color matter to you?
Does the GTS 4.0 have a color you like?
I bought my 718 GTS 2.5 over the 981 precisely because it was the only way to get Miami Blue (at the time).
You need to know your psyche. I know mine. If I bought another color and saw a Miami Blue 718 I would pine for it.

If you care about resale, the 4.0 is almost certainly better.

Discount? I’m in Florida, is anyone getting discounts on 718s? The GTS is GT Silver and the S is chalk so both colors are good with me. The GTS does have a red top which I’m not 100% on but can deal with it. The S is loaded with cosmetic options like carbon fiber trim, full leather package, black wheels and more. I’m now a bit worried that I overdid the options for the S I built.
