Plus no state income tax in Nevada....what a great state!
Howard Hughes would agree with you.

If flipping a $160k car to maybe make $10k is worth it to you, I admire your drive.

Ok CW i'll take the bait-

We took the Polar silver car in trade, customer
Wanted our chalk turbo S sunroof delete car a while back...we then sold car to RL'er / repeat customer as a stopgap while his yellow GT3RS WP was on order. When his car completed production, he brought back the car on consignment. Didn't sell at his price. When his RS landed, we officially took it in trade. Polar car was from Chicago originally/ ironically.

Have one of your buddies run it in c@P

Great price for sure and crazy it hasn’t sold. Polar silver is one of the colors that is polarizing I think. Either love it or hate it.

This is exactly the issue also with many of these PTS cars at 12k a pop.

i see what you did there

it's an amazing color as far as i'm concerned. my guess is it's too close to rhodium for people to get excited about it -- not that rhodium is bad, just that there are a bunch of 991.1 gt3s in rhodium. but yeah, someone should buy that. polar pts gt3 at sticker sounds like a win all day. some of my favorite vintage 911s are polar.

As we know, PTS hasn't been "to sample" for quite sometime. Now it's essentially a non-standard pre-approved color in their pallet. Most of them are not special at all. Used to be an A4 size sample that they would copy it. In that sense, 12k is horrible, even worse when you see the same colors on a golf.

They will still copy what you send them, it’s just now $12,830 for a feasibility study and then $12,830 on the car if it is approved.

exactly. Nothing more then an expanded color selection. This is why I ordered chalk for ~$4k

we are picking up our true Paint To Sample RR SVR next month. We were even able to officially name the color. Tough process as it’s been over a year now but should be worth it. The PTS was $10,900 but Total Bespoke (CXX) options ended up being expensive, $30k on top of msrp.

This is not true. You still have the same ability to send in any color “sample” you wish (must be painted on a 6” card) and go through the same process as before if you’re willing to pay the feasibility test. The PTS list is updated every few months and the new colors which others have had tested/approved are added. That list grows every quarter.

No doubt, there are a handful of colors that are very popular and frequently chosen, but just because IG is loaded with the same 15 popular colors doesn’t mean the PTS process for new colors is dead.

As as much as all of you complain about everything PTS, demand for PTS is greater than ever - even with PAG essentially doubling the price. In fact, they could barely handle the demand.

And I bet the price for PTS increases further for 992 GT cars.
