Default Heaviest optioned C4S ever?

Just noticed this one on Ebay.

The dealer says in the title "$187.5K MSRP!"

What do you think?

The most expensive C4S?

I'm betting this guy agonized for weeks over every detail. Painted vents? Or painted vent slats?? Or leather??? Probably flew to Stuttgart, spent a week poring over leather samples, stitching, the works. Agonizing, endless weeks go by as his dream build crosses the Atlantic. Finally here, family, friends, co-workers and random passersby are all gushing over his new pride and joy. Until one day he's tanking up and some guy with an old 911 who reads RL looks over and says, "What? No Smoking Package?"
D'OH!
Next day, cars on eBay.

You cannot get the "Wing" on a Cabriolet. Only the Duck tail on rear. My C2S X51 Cab listed at $186k in Canada. It should read Sport Design Kit though.

Normal? lol.


I need to move to Switzerland where Porsche 911's live in excess! You people know how to live it up!

May not be ALL the options you can load into a car but it is the highest MSRP I have seen over here for a C4S.

I would so rather have a 991 GT3 with no options but that's just me.

Haha

I just can't get a build with few options. Tried it several times, but always end up with a two page option list.
My C4S config had 57% of baseprice on options. In other words... $98k on options on top of a $170k car and that's without expensive options like Powerkit or PCCB. That's probably the reason why I keep cancleing cars! As soon as my rational thinking kicks in, I start doubting! LOL!

Something seems off about $187,500 without PCCB, PDLS Plus... unless it is all in the interior, or includes taxes and the like. Question: are dealer margins higher on a fully optioned car like this to the extent one should get a somewhat better discount than perhaps 5 percent?
