I don't mind a road trip. A ton of cars in Calif. All I'd need is a decent weather window for 2 days to get back up to MT.

 

That's the way to do it, just did a 2200 mile round trip to pick up mine, 2.5 days of driving, car was super comfy throughout and benefit was the new car was broken in by the time I got home!

 

Maybe get the dealer to through in a wrap of your color choice?

 

So I bought a Porsche tonight.

Ended up finding a 2018 718 Caymans GTS in Graphite Blue Metallic with Leather Graphite Blue/Chalk with Sport-Tex Sport Plus Seats. Pretty rare external color and a very cool internal (dual tone (Sport Tex were actually my preferred choice))/external color combo.

The car has 7500 miles on it and is a CPO. Has all the GTS mechanical and electronic tech bits. Picking it up in a few days, but looking very much forward to really driving it. I actually had a deal late this afternoon all sealed up on a new 2019 Cayman S for a few $ less, but the GTS with almost no miles on it and this color combo were impossible to pass up.

I’ll post a few pics when I pick it up later this week.

PS: Oh and the kicker, the dealership is about 15 min from my house. The other one with the new 2019 was also only about 30ish min away...I guess there is a benefit to living in NE US.

 

Until you post pictures in a new thread... didn't happen

Congratulations. I wanna see pictures of the Sport-Tex.

 

Congrats! What a great combo all the way around. GREAT color. And a GTS! Happy you didn't settle for the black one? LOL.

I found a 2018 Base, 3K miles, 6 MT, 19" wheels which I prefer for some sidewall to deal with potholes and cattle guards, Bose, 2 way sport seats, SILVER exterior which was one of my colors, with chalk/blk interior. Reasonable price considering the mileage and warranty remaining.

Issue being; 1050 miles away and Motor Vehicle BS to deal with in California, in order to get away from the sales tax. I can BUY it, but can't DRIVE it off the lot. Unless I wish to remit the sales tax. So trying to deal with that wrinkle.

California LOL.

 

Congrats too, you could have them ship it or better yet just have them 'deliver' it across the border. Depending on the closest State they should be able to drive you to the border and have a notary confirm you picked it up in a non CA state. If you use AZ you can buy a 3 day temp/transportation tag online for $1, just throw that on the car when you do hand over and you are good to go. Good luck!

 

Congrats! Assuming this is it https://vinanalytics.com/car/WP0AB2A83JK279531/ looks to be a nice build sheet - I'm sure that interior looks killer. I'll be interested in your impressions compared to the Z after some seat time

 

Saw a car with this color outside in the bright sun yesterday. Stunning! Congrats.

I have access to a Dealer plate which is OK in all States...so may do that.

But "delivering" to NV just north of the dealership IS another option.

ENJOY the new GTS. Post a photo too.

 

Thank you all for the kind words of "congrats" on the new car! Who said everyone on rennlist was an ahole j/k!
I'm picking the car up in a few days, will definitely post pictures then!

 

Holy cow. Dude, that car is a unicorn. Amazing. I'm jealous. You are gonna love it!!!

 

Fantastic! Great spec, you will love it!

 

That is a great spec. I remember this one from my dredging. Manual seats and wheel. No ‘packages.’ So, you have to do things yourself like unlock the car or put the rear view mirror in ‘dark’ mode. Love it. @k.alexander will want a stereo upgrade though. Start by finding threads and posts from ‘12v Nick.’

 

Finally, and a beautiful car! Why did Porsche ever stop offering that color?

Funny comment about Rennlist, as evidenced by all the great advise you've received. I know, you were j/k. Think about joining, and good luck with that sweet car.
