Default PTS Blue?

What do you guys think of this car? Was leaning towards either Miami Blue or GT Silver but this PTS girl is gorgeous me thinks. Was also wanting the center locks but the more I see the throwback 5 spoke 5 lug wheels the more I like them. What do you think? Nice mileage and pretty good price too, I guess the impending 992 Turbo S is helping the 991.2 resell buyer a bit? Edit: Just made them an offer of $160K 3/23...we shall see

That is a beautiful car. Lots of options. Price is fair.
I'm partial to the old school wheels, so I'm biased inasmuch that I have them on my car. Easy to clean & they look good.
That vehicle stands out for sure. Can't go wrong.

GL/Cheers,

B

A bit overpriced. I recently bought an untitiled “new” 2018 PTS turbo S Cab which included CPO extra warranty for 170.

That’s a pretty awesome build. $219k sticker back when PTS was a ‘bargain’ at ~6k (-ish, IIRC.)

Yes, it seems over-priced relative to the market for common-as-****-roaches ( ) .2 TurboSs. But, this one is unique I will bet: One of one Gulf Blue on Espresso. If it was me selling I’d just stick it out there and wait for the right a$$ to come along. Somewhere there is someone who’s dream build is GB/Espresso.

Beautiful spec. Considering it's uniqueness, if the build is good for you, I wouldn't think twice.

Thumbs up

I doubt you'll get any cash off. This is the only 991 turbo s cab in Gulf Blue in the whole of UK. I've seen Gulf Blue on other cars and on this car I think they mixed the colour a shade darker by mistake. Anyone know if you can order the exact PTS paint colour from Porsche as ours is defo one shade darker than regular Gulf Blue code 036 but its still Gulf Blue according to Porsche? Looks nicer though with a bit more blue in it for me. Where the colour code on a 991?

Eewww. Love me some Gulf Blue but what were they thinking on that interior. I promise you they will deal. I bet there aren’t people lined out the door to buy that car. That combo is very polarizing. If you love it and keep cars a while, go for it. If you flip cars I would stay away, tough time selling it as you will really have a limited audience of buyers.

Only you have to like it...if it pulls your strings, go for it.

I think the car is demanding a premium. Price could/should be negotiated a bit further but they may play hard ball since it's a "PTS". I wonder how long they've had it for sale?

Not personally a fan of that blue or color combo. Not a fan of the throw back retro 5 spoke fuchs either, so I'm the wrong guy for this car.

IMO, it'll take a very specific buyer for that car (you perhaps) and the market for that combo is likely less than others.

The cool part about the car? Options and the fact that it's likely a one of a kind combo.

Again, if you like it, go for it.
