It always amuses me to a certain extent with the amazing list of options that dealers mention as though it's a major selling point, main culprit being the embossing on the headrest. Not sure why anyone would pay for that from new, never mind being impressed several years down the line...

Sports Chrono, PSM, wheel choice etc is, of course a different proposition.

 

It’s funny, embossing on the headrests is something that I would always want. It’s a cheap option and I think it really improves the look of the seats. So it just shows how beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I bought a 2012 981 three months ago and have kept an eye on prices since. I though I had paid quite a bit for mine, but the spec and millage made it worth while, but prices seem to continue to rise.

I think covid has definitely had an effect along with the 718 being turbo charged. I really don't mind what happened to prices as mine is a keeper, but it will be interesting to see what happens when the car market as a whole softens and how much was down to covid, and how much was down to the engine vs the 718.
