Default Thoughts on this Endurance Racing Edition?

http://www.porschewestbroward.com/de...-17047632.html

Does anyone know if these stickers are easily removed or are they permanent?

A session at a good detail shop could handle this?

It seems to be a really nicely loaded S hiding underneath. Great price.

Should I avoid the headache or is it a good deal?

Don’t they usually charge more for the decals? I saw this at my local dealer and it was marked up for the graphic.

if it were me I’d find another car if you don’t want the sticker. Although they are easily removed.

Go into the dealer and when no ones looking peel up a corner of one of the stickers. See how easy it comes up. Better yet, bring a blow dryer and use some heat.

Headache . It's not the stickers . it's the fact that 114K can buy a new 18 car . Aside from that you might want to check into their dealer fees and lo jack policies .

I don't believe you can get a similarly optioned 18 for under $120,000 so $114,000 seems like a pretty good deal. I really liked the ERE because it had all the options I would want on an S BUT..... I did not like the decals and I do not want a sliding sunroof. Decals can be removed.

My local dealer in San Diego has been stuck with their Endurance Racing Edition forever, it finally moved from inside the showroom to sitting outside in the rain. I don't know who in the world approved those ridiculous decals..

Keep in mind, this car has 6K miles on it. It's a used car.

An identically spec'd 2018 S, sans stickers, is $143,000, and a 2017 would have been about $140,000. I know because I did the math and bought a black "Endurance Racing Edition" recently. I got a very good price, irrespective of the decals and the original upcharge, so I could pull the decals off and still be money ahead. I happen to like the decals, so it was an easy decision.

However, I bought a never-titled new vehicle, factory warranty, etc. You can extrapolate the value of a used similarly optioned 2017 S from my figures and determine what would be a good deal.

reasonable price - there was a hefty markup on these for dumb looking stickers. It is highly optioned though - including X51.

oh - I did't notice that.... and that it is a .2... The 991.1's that I saw were also overpriced but at least had the powerkit, PCCB and loaded to the hilt otherwise.

At least the stickers can be peeled off. Anyone remember the 911 special edition that was painted with a paint brush? Like a house paint brush. Laid on heavy. Bumpy heavy. In about a dozen different colors. Per car. Per each car. Like you took a dozen different colors, one brush per color, laid on different directions. Like Pollock only with a brush instead of splatter. No peeling that off!

I looked at both white and black ones a few months ago. The three dealers across the US that I talked to could not guarantee against oxidation on paint that had not been decaled but the cars were all indoors and chances of this were slim. A good detail is probably all you need. These are basically C2S cars with all the performance options (including PDCC) except X51 and PCCB. Good luck.

Good price!
The decals are kind off growing on me.
I'd even as go as far as to add a touch of red to it

No worries about the wrap creating an issue with the paint, -like has been said- you'd just need a good detail after pulling it of.
Go for it!

The hood is the only annoying thing. A used hood is reasonable enough and I would keep the existing hood as wall art.
