Hey everyone, I just came across this stunning 2015 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe with only 17,000 miles on the odometer. This is the kind of low-mileage example that doesn’t come around often. The 911 Turbo S is already one of the most sought-after performance cars, and finding one this well-preserved is exceptional.
The specification looks solid – it’s a coupe in what appears to be excellent condition based on the photos. The 3.8L twin-turbocharged flat-six engine produces 570 horsepower and 523 lb-ft of torque, making this an absolute monster on the road. With only 17k miles, the engine should still have that fresh quality to it.
What’s particularly interesting about this 2015 model year is that it represents Porsche’s refined turbocharged 911 generation. By 2015, Porsche had really dialed in the 991 generation, and the Turbo S variant is genuinely one of the best drivers’ cars money can buy in this segment.
The low mileage is definitely appealing, but I’m curious what everyone thinks about the market for these right now. Are values holding strong? Has anyone here owned a 911 Turbo S from this generation? I’d love to hear about real-world experiences with ownership, reliability, and whether the pricing seems fair for such a low-mileage example.
Also interested in hearing thoughts on whether this is a car meant to be driven or if ultra-low-mileage Turbo S coupes like this are better as collectibles. Looking forward to the discussion!
That’s a beautiful spec right there. 17k miles on a Turbo S is genuinely rare. The market for low-mileage 991 Turbos has been incredibly strong over the past few years. I’d say this pricing is competitive if the service history is complete.
I completely disagree that low-mileage examples like this represent good value. You’re essentially paying collector car prices for something that should be driven. The whole point of a Turbo S is to experience that incredible performance. This will just sit in a garage.
Before anyone pulls the trigger on this, they need to seriously budget for maintenance costs. These 991 Turbos can be expensive to maintain. New turbos alone can run $4k+ each if you ever need work. Service intervals are manageable but parts are pricey.
The 570hp figure from that twin-turbo engine is just insane. Even with only 17k miles, I’d want to know the service schedule and if it’s been properly maintained during storage. Sitting cars can have their own issues.
Thanks for the responses so far. I think the low mileage is actually a selling point even if it seems counterintuitive. These 991 Turbos are appreciating assets now, and 17k miles means minimal wear on all components. It’s not just about driving it.
Anyone know the color combination? That matters a lot for 911s. A well-specified Turbo S with desirable colors and low miles is definitely collectible. The flat-six turbo engine is legendary.
I have to push back on the collector car argument. A Turbo S at 17k miles being garaged forever seems like a waste. These should be on the road. Life’s too short not to drive incredible machines like this.
The 2015 model year is right in the sweet spot for the 991 generation. All the bugs worked out, modern enough tech, classic enough design. This is legitimately one of the best Porsches ever made.
17k miles is honestly nothing for a car like this. I’ve seen 991 Turbos with 80k+ miles still performing flawlessly. The engineering on these is rock solid if you maintain them properly.
The real question is whether you’re buying this to appreciate or to enjoy. If it’s appreciation, then yes, keep those miles low. If you want to feel that turbo kick, you need to get out and drive it. Can’t have both.
The coupe vs targa debate aside, the Turbo S is absolutely the right choice in this generation. The performance figures are real, not marketing. This car will be fast for another decade at least.
Am I the only one concerned about modern Porsches being over-computerized? The 2015 Turbo S is definitely better than newer models, but it’s still loaded with electronics. That could mean expensive repairs down the line.
Regarding electronics – yes, the 991 generation is computerized, but Porsche’s reliability has been solid for the Turbo S specifically. It’s not like you’re buying a problematic generation here.
I stand by what I said earlier. Paying premium prices for a car to park it is economically irrational. Even if values appreciate 5% yearly, you’re tying up serious capital for minimal return when you could be experiencing that car.
