And in retrospect, had it been available for my allocation I would've done PTS as well...in one of the following colors: Blackolive, Brewster Green, Underberg Green, Fjord Green, Aetna Blue or Oslo Blue...each with the Satin Aurum wheels and matching Satin Aurum "PORSCHE" traditional door stripes. It'd be a tough choice as they're all beautiful traditional Porsche colors with several dating back to the 1950's-1960's 356 selections.

An interesting note on the 000 Spyder Package is the beautiful Ascot Brown Leather. That's a very unique color not even available on a Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur leather interior selection. You could get something similar with the Exclusive Manufaktur Cohiba leather...but Ascot Brown is truly unique and lives in the CXX realm.

I'd lop off my right arm for a Black Olive Spyder with Aurum wheels and PCCBs.

Don’t do that, need it for driving. There is a few other parts we have two of that aren’t as important.

I had no doubt it would sell, as there too many rich collectors out there for a car like that not to get picked up and stored under glass until it’s sold again three years from now with 3,000 miles on the odometer. Particularly given the clientele of that dealership.

I just think $48k is stupid money to put into special wishes bling on a car with a base price of around $100k. Kinda like putting forged HREs on a Chevy Bolt.

I give up on opining on what makes sense or what doesn't because clearly my common sense is broken.

Well.... nothing about these cars are really "common sense". Moreso with the Spyder.

If you want a "common sense" vehicle, buy a Camry.

Beautiful car.
Miami Blue has really grown on me, probably because it’s been discontinued which makes it even more desirable.

I love this color so much. It was my dream color for a very long time (BEFORE it was discontinued).

What are your thoughts on the car, do YOU like it? Does it tick most of the boxes for you?

Exact same boat here.. I had a deposit on a white PDK from another dealer (refunded me) and it seemed super mispriced at 180k... only spec it had that this doesn't were carbon buckets / PDK.. not worth 30k to me.

I love it.. but given I have yet to own a Porsche, let alone a GT4, just trying to make sure im not missing anything glaring in the specs.

It looks very well specd.

The 3 big things which usually drive the conversation are the seats, brakes and manual/ PDK

If any of the big must have options for you are on this car, it would be a great car to own.

That color, including the painted interior trim and white gauges would be a stunning.

A GT4 is a great 1st Porsche, you can’t go wrong.

Thanks for the feedback! .. I'm 6ft and 200lbs so the buckets are kinda a non starter for me so the 18 ways are my first choice. Love the Miami blue, love the seats and while I would take PDK over manual for the same price / small premium, it's not a big enough desire to make me change my mind on this one. Given the ratios aren't massively different I don't see a reason to drop 25k more on the any of the 2021 PDKs available near me.. It seems like an incredibly well spec'd car with low KMs. Thinking can wrap up the deal early next week.
