I may (ok am) biased because I ordered Auratium, but it is a really good color. And it was being sold as new, not a preowned from a flipper. Still listed on the website though. And, while there are some PTS GT3 cars available, it’s a handful at this point on the market.

The Auratium one is not too bad ($178,290 MSRP), but many cars are out there with massive MRSP numbers and the on the ground/used market is cost sensitive. I also think a lot of the people looking for allocations are doing so not only to get their personal spec (and color which is huge for PTS — one man’s dream is another’s Florida retiree green), but also to spec the car sensibly. I know I fit in that category. As much as I like the Greenwich car and has everything I specced on mine (including color but except touring) it has ~$11k in cosmetic options I don’t want and would take even if they were free — full leather (ok maybe if it were free), LEDs, light design, carbon trim, illuminated carbon sills, chrono with white dial, white gauges.

The very few “stripper” spec cars I have seen have sold quickly at healthy premiums. Buyers did not seem to care if they had leather or whatever else they did not have. (Missing FAL and maybe tank is another story).

Agree, although $5k seems pretty light and have not seen any quite that low. Even finding one advertised at $10k over, I don’t think I have seen that (although I am sure some have sold at that price and know if one that is likely available at that price.)

A recent buyer purchased a Sappbire car that’s a stripper spec, has 8000 miles, and an accident on its Carfax. He mentioned that he paid a few grand over MSRP.

Could be a sign of stripper specs selling fast, but I would consider this car a big outlier. It sat for 5 months, which is crazy long for a .2 GT3. From my observations in the market, the buyer overpaid by about $8-10K at least.

Gentlemen it's all supply and demand,....and if the buyer has the cash readily he will buy.
No disrespect to anybody here but some have plenty of cash....and then there are the guys that don't have all the cash.
to throw at stuff that they want so they think about it harder like myself...to give over adm.
at the end of day it's a car which is a toy....just like Ferrari ,lambo etc.

I bet a dealer bought that car and will resell for 10 k more....lol.
dealers are notorious of buying cars on eBay.
they stole a couple cars right under my nose.
i almost bought about year ago a 16 silver rs with 600 miles.
i had bid 191k and he bid a few dollars more and I lost it...I called seller an he said. Dealer beat me to it.
within a week it was in eBay for 20k more.
i lost a 2013 spider 458 to a dealer also ....the dealer bought it and post within a few days for 25 k more.
