STOUT: It is difficult to assign a specific value on options when selling the car. If the car cost $150k and sells for 30% less at 105k, it was based on the overall cost of the car.
A PTS car with ceramic brakes may cost 170k and sells for the sale 30% off at 120k so the difference of 15k (while the same 30% discount) translates into 100% back for those 2 options.
Hard for me to explain my thought process, but I am trying

I've seen 1000's of pre-owned cars hit the market. Your comments are flawed.

When the car is finished I will do so. It came off the truck with stickers still on the car and straight to PPF. Should be finished in a couple of days. Getting tints on Tuesday, PPF finished tomorrow.
As far as VIN and Build sheet, that is not something I would post publicly, but you will be able to see the color and many of the options in photos.

Build sheet or VIN then?
Curious on what you think resale will be on your car in 1, 3, and 5 yrs.

Kidding of course if people followed my tastes all cars would be blue.My point is that if you can agree that a "great" PTS color demands a premium then the reality is that ANY PTS color will demand a premium because what one man thinks is crap another thinks is great. None of us all unanimously agree that a specific PTS color is great or crap. Whoever ordered that "crap" color certainly didnt think it was crap when he ordered it and paid a premium to get it, he thought it was fantastic. That being said, I may think certain colors are great and would be willing to pay a premium while you may look at the same car and be unwilling to.
But it’s all about how many were made and how many people want it... if there’s a brown that they made 2 of and only one person wants it, it may go for a lot less than a green that they made 1 of but that two people want.
Anyway if I were ordering new right now I would totally want to order PTS! Having a fun and rare shade of blue would be super cool! But I would do it for me and not expect to recoup the money spent on resale, but it would be a cool bonus if enough people’s tastes were similar enough to mine to command a premium.

That's probably a $160K-$170K build. Close?
What color interior?
By the way, nice looking Targa.

I have no intention of putting on a front plate and will pay every ticket they want to give me.
Build cost is close
British Racing Green, Alcantara Delete with all Espresso Leather interior.
What you (and I) think is nice, the next buyer may not. I built it and chose the color I loved. My daughter told me it looks like a Frog.
Go figure,,,

It was a custom build with PTS on one of the last 991.2 GTS Targas in 2018. I was happy to get the allocation.
I prefer not discussing anything money or cost related. Not my thing..

You are mistaken..'
Discussing the cost of options provided by Porsche and me telling you how much I paid for my car or how much (if any) discount I received on my car are vastly different.
I never discuss how much anything I own or buy or sell costs. Lets drop this now.
