1) Thank you for delivering on posting the pictures from the dealer!

2) The comments on the options this car was ordered with are not directed at you. (Obviously you didn’t order the car anyway!) Different people put different values on some options based on their own personal tastes and use preferences. And some people get weirdly invested in critiquing cars that don’t belong to them which are not optioned the way they would prefer.

3) Personally, I think it will sell quickly, regardless of how it is optioned.

I tend to agree with you. No way I would pay the PTS premium for a slightly different shade of silver, yellow, green, blue, etc. It's got to be totally different or I just take what's on the plate at no additional cost or a slight upcharge. But there's people with more money to throw around than me so...

Salty? They were simple comments on the spec of the car; I think it’s a difficult sell because of a sad and expensive build.

Nothing aimed at you; certainly wasn’t trying to trigger anyone.

I concur it’s helpful to post in the for sale thread which is where it is.

OP was just trying to help. No need to put him down. I am new to this forum and I was reported to the admin for asking a question that was not answered before. Very weird behavior from some members here

a lot gets lost in translation thru text/typed words. Not triggered but it does suck when you try to look out for others then get asked "if I'm a sales rep".lol

Cheers

Sorry I quoted the wrong post. You're the OP lol

Good to see this thread back to life.

Saw this in the PTS thread

Delaware has 3 718 GT4s…prices are insane though.

^^^ That is Porsche Delaware's business model to put crazy asking prices on their used sports car inventory. Consider their asking prices to be an extreme outlier - not representative of the market. I don't think they are even Porsche Certified at that price...

it’s very simple, it’s called business with supply and demand. Dealerships do not have any inventory, so for what cars they do have, they increased the prices. That’s what any business does, so not their fault. My local dealership lost several cars on that ship, which I’m guessing many dealers did, with chip shortages and costs going crazy, they just adjusting accordingly and people are paying those prices.

like I said, there are like 50 used gt4 available in the entire USA, so 1 per state, lol.

It’s easy to understand why they have a large inventory, but they are moving cars. They had a couple of 992 Targa’s at outlandish prices and they are gone, gone, gone.

Porsche Delaware in particular does some very strange pricing things that I don't think anyone other than they fully understand. Their used sports car asking prices are the highest on the US east coast by far - often even higher than Bay Area CA prices... I suspect a large part of it has to do with the combo of 0% sales tax in Delaware + the largest concentration of US corporations and LLCs being registered in the state. Maybe people are using their DE LLCs to buy and register Porsches tax free? But then I don't think you see a lot of DE-registered cars around the whole US like you would see MT-registered cars...

Despite their off the wall asking prices, they do deal quite a bit. An acquaintance of mine bought a used 2016 GT4 from Porsche Delaware around summer 2020, and actually got an incredibly good deal on it from them. It was the cheapest clean-title GT4 purchase I had ever heard of at the time. IIRC, he paid about $20k less than their original asking price on the car.

Dan Nagy

Yes, as “they” say, asking and selling prices may be quite different. It wouldn’t hurt to give them a call and make an offer.

When I moved to DE, I tried to put a deal together with trading my 992 for a BGTS allocation, but the SA really didn’t seem to care about my business. I then called Main Line and they were fantastic.

I have a Signal Yellow Spyder enroute , I think its the best yellow vs racing/speed. See ya around, Im in SoCal as well!

sin911

Oh yeah, signal looks much better to my eyes than racing or speed yellow as well. Also Bahama/Mango looks killer too when it comes to yellow shades. Please remember to post pics when you get it

Porsche DTLA has a Chalk GT4 available, at least as of last night. It's the one that just showed up on the Porsche USA inventory search. I was quoted $30k over, which puts me out of budget because the spec is already high. I also really prefer a manual, but given the challenge I have been having finding an allocation I am starting to be flexible on spec.
