Talking Agree on Supply and Demand balance

I have been watching the available inventory and it does seem that Porsche have indeed done a good job of supplying enough GT4s, but not TOO many. I am feeling pretty lucky to have found a Miami Blue GT4 with PCCB and a manual in early January. Talking Still some black/white/silver/chalk GT4s out there but not many in blue/red/yellow/green which are the colors I prefer. Some PDKs available, but they did not interest me.

I'd be interested to see if there are ANY in Aventurine Green Metallic. I've ordered my GTS 4.0 in that color, but finding a GT4 in it would be unlikely I bet. Unicorn status.

You would only see it in a PTS car. GT4 has pretty restricted colour choices and it doesn’t include Aventurine GM.

Yep not my cup of tea but clearly someone's or it was anyway... There might be a deal to be had there if the color is acceptable

Deal to be had? I think not. Car sold. Above sticker.

I just looked on cars.com for manual GT4, 52 popped up. That's far below what I saw when I bought mine 2 months ago, back then, usually saw about 90 to 110.

On cargurus just now, same, 54 for manual gt4.

Because many of those 110 cars weren’t really available. They were automatic scrapes, and they’ve been delivered to the owners by now. There has never been more than about 50 real cars on AT at any time.

Completely disagree, there are many listings with no pics, and the overall look and feel to me is the same as 2 months ago for the manuals, I searched for 3 months before buying. It's laughable to think they are ALL real cars, dealers playing same games they did 2 months ago.

Of the 104 cars listed, over 20 are obvious scrapes. Last time I looked almost 40 were.

There are only 20 2020’s listed, and only 41 of both years are manuals, and about 5-6 of those are scrapes. The vast majority of real cars out there are 2021 PDKs, and that assumes all of those are still on the floor, given how dealers after use sold car ads as a bit of bait. Cars are selling, as evidenced by how many PDKs are out there, all relatively recently arrived at dealers.

Exactly my point, 40 manuals for sale, well below 2 months ago. Manuals will be tougher to buy, probably prices go up on those. Be curious if they sell 2022 models or not.

no accounting for taste = not a color I would spend and extra $13k for then also pay over MSRP!

Not my choice of color either, but that’s the point of PTS, I suppose? I spoke to Raj, the salesperson that specc’d it (initially for his own use, but he changed his mind and decided to keep his 991.2 GT3). Choice of color was inspired by an oak green GT3 he saw.

It’s not a bad color at all. Dark metallic green is just not my thing. Give me Miami blue any day!
