Maybe buy my nearly identical one from me for 62, and I will buy that one? An idea. Anyway.

But, even with that said, if you like the color, go for it. I like the spec. For me, S-PASM, sport exhaust, sport chrono, and either aftermarket exhaust or PSE are must-haves, and those are the main options that help dictate the price, as they are hard to replicate. Contrasting stitching isn't something that most people will pay for, but Sport PASM is hard to install after the fact, and PDCC cannot be installed after the fact
I am surprised to hear you think this would take a hit on resale because of color combo. I feel it is a classic /classy combo. I know that colors and color combos are a personal choice. For example, I could have bought a 2015 GTS silver metallic for high 70s (less than 9k miles) but the interior was ALL red - carpets, dash, seats, steering wheel, etc - I passed bc of that, but was tempting. I asked my wife and she said: “ what is that!”...either way I like the DBM/Luxor combo and plan on keeping the car for a long time.

regarding the other options I have them. Pasm though (not S Pasm).

thanks for the feedback.

Yep. I was basically having to refresh NationalPreOwned.com every hour. Anytime a car with the RIGHT options/colors etc popped up, it would have agreed offers accepted within hours to minutes. It reminded me of trying to buy a house in a desirable/competitive neighborhood.

I tried to work out a deal on your car but the dealer blew me off being out of state. I finally had to call a sales manager just to see if it sold. Very strange but glad someone on RL ended up with it. Post some pics.. Enjoy! I love dark blue metallic. This was a good deal considering options, miles and CPO.

I might just wait until the end of summer and see if prices drop. The 991S market is very strong right now. Also considering the 3.0 turbo.

Overton Automotive are selling a 2014 C2S with 66k miles in this color combo. It’s at a great price but not CPO.

wow that is too funny! Thanks for the kind words. Yes the market is for these cars is on fire. I have been looking for a while and everytime I did find one it was sold - within hours or days for asking price. Good luck with your search!

Nice spec. Congrats.

$68K for a 2012 S surprised me - the prices are holding strong STILL!

You think the price would be lower? Keep in mind CPOd. I was hoping for 50% off of msrp! Yes demand for these cars is crazy.
