Default Why hasn't this 2017 991.2 4S Sold?

What's your thoughts on why a nice discount on this 4S hasn't result in a quick sell?

I can't see why it's still sitting on the lot. Is it the white gauges or the red leather?

No idea, but here is the build sheet. If I had to guess, they priced it up pretty high with options including sport package, CF, two tone leather and LED lights. Maybe no one wants to spend that much for an AWD in Florida.

Built in January 2017, so it has been there since last Feb-Mar. Red interior is definitely a limited market.

Red interior spooks people. They may grow tired of it.

Nice ride! I love the color combo. Prefer Targa in the 4S, though.

Not sure why you would spend $$$ on CF interior trim and PSP but not upgrade to at least 14-way seats. Ventilated seats in FL is a must. Unless you like showing up somewhere with a wet back. Nice car otherwise.

Think about it. If it’s a one-driver car, how often is one adjusting their driver’s seat?

If you are thinking about buying this car and like the red interior and the options it has, I'd consider that big discount a rare opportunity. When I was just shopping I was getting some pretty big discount offers on remaining 17s not too far off from this, so the fact it has been prior-model-year car for a while is a big part of it.

It is a little unusual to see someone spend the money for the Sport Package and other cost items here and not also do one of the Premium packages or the things from them (Entry and Drive, light design package, LED headlights, vented/heated seats, etc.), so that might have slowed down the sale a bit.

With the allocations for 18s drying up fast and the pending multi-month shutdown on the 911 assembly line, I won't be surprised if you'll see the prices on some of these discounted cars come back up soon... so if you are thinking about it I wouldn't think too long. That was one of the things that prompted me to go ahead and move forward with getting the 17 I just got. I don't think there will be lot of them left on lots later this spring. But that's just my guess... who knows?

I've seen a few Gt silver, black/red 17 cars . I happen to love the combination . The price sounds attractive but do ask what their dealer fee is as well as their lo jack policy . It was posted in macanforum that those two fees and items became a deal beaker . I myself have never been to the dealership . That;s why i say .. just ask.

I just picked up a GT Silver w/ black/red interior. Bought it sight unseen and was mildly worried about the red. Now that I own it, I love it. The red is much darker than it appears in most pictures.

Edit: on the car in question, I’d suggest getting exact current mileage. Might be a demo. I came across a few when I was poking around. Great deals.

I think it’s more the seats than the interior.

Ah are they the extra back pain 4-ways?

I don’t get you don’t get to have lumbar support until like the 12th “way”. Just give me forward and back and lumbar support, I don’t need adjustable headrest width.
