Funny, I almost bought this car.... their Jaguar dealership had it for a day or so for some reason. I called the Jaguar dealer the day it was listed.... 12/30/22, their Jaguar dealer texted me a bunch of pics, etc... then it disappeared. When I called the Jaguar salesman back a couple days later, they told me they were transferring it to their Porsche dealer. No one from the Porsche dealer would call me or even knew it was there. When I asked about it, they sent me info on the 2016 Boxster Spyder they had.

Then.... I got a random call from Porsche OKC in mid-January, but I didnt want to pay their asking price.

Enjoy!

A random, confusing turn of events, it sounds like for you. I had a similar experience in the beginning but got down to the finer details and made it happen.
Fortunately, I didn't pay anywhere close to the asking price!

A few shots of the Spyder from the last few days and about 250 miles of canyon carving. Been pretty wet out in California so driving has been somewhat limited with Cup tires.
- Upgrades thus far include Flat6 OAP, performance alignment, black centers for steering wheel and Leather steering column cover.
Signal Yellow generates a lot of smiles out on the road, loving this, Porsche!

Just to clarify- is your PTS Signal Yellow spyder the same car that Larry acquired from Napleton Porsche in early 2021? If so, then that happens to be the car I ordered / spec'd but couldn't take delivery of as my wife lost her mind when she found out I wanted to add the Spyder to a '19 GT3 and '18 R8- historically I have been able to sweet talk her "after the fact" but this was the first time she put her her size 6.5 foot down in our 25 yrs of marriage and said enough was enough...I still blame it on COVID. Glad it's found a good home and thanks for posting photos and recounting the story of how it has made its way into your possession!
