Maybe it is a "sister" car, like the 2013 C4S DBM twins. One of them is for sale at Porsche Austin right now. Manual, loaded build, ceramics, yachting blue interior, no PSE, aerokit, and wood interior. The other one sold at Manhattan Motorcars a few months back; it had 19k miles. This one was offloaded by a dealer in the midwest who had taken it in on trade; they sold it to Austin for $74k after dropping the price fruitlessly for months on end. I wonder how long Austin will sit on it before realizing that NOBODY wants a build like this? They have had it for 6 weeks now, yet the car is still at $90k. Bonus: it has 19's (winter wheels) instead of the stock 20's, if you are the type that doesn't like the 20" options (again, basically nobody).
Yeah, this car is a tough sale. All blue Smurf, wood trim, auction car from northwest, and winter tires on it. Driven in winters and need $6K for a proper 20" set for real driving. This car is probably in questionable shape.
If only someone would have tweaked this build a bit. Had potential. A few misses for my taste, but maybe a few tweaks for the right price?? At least the interior trim can be changed.
This dealer does tend to get in some nice rides though!!
Because we do proper postings here with VIN #'s, etc ... we see we had discussed this one back in March of 2017!! Simple Google search of VIN # and bingo!! Car is selling for same $$$ as almost 1.5 years ago and 3K more miles.
There was a nice white C4S on craigslist in Norcal for $69.5k (I texted the seller - sold). I googled the VIN and traced it back to a post in this thread about a year ago with eBay link. Car had sold for $70k flat then.
I looked at this car in person a few weeks back. The paint was in need of a good detail and the seats had some wear on them, but aside from that I didn't see much else wrong with it.
thanks for the input. This is one of the cheapest manual car in the US. My theory it’s not selling because of color and it’s a relatively low option car.
With any of these car references please post pics and VIN #'s please. This goes for many posts lately. All we ask here to be good contributors and keep HFS a good resource.
Links go dead and we will have zero historical info. We are better than the other imitation HFS threads on the 997 board, etc.
Sorry, I didn't post info on the yachting blue wood car as I didn't think it was HFS. I bet it sits at the dealer for 100+ days.
It was sold last year at Greenwich Porsche, with 2 sets of wheels. They also had it forever. It seems to bounce around from dealership to dealership, sit on the lot, and eventually land somewhere at wholesale. I wonder if Porsche Austin knew that history when they bought it?
This is a lot of car for $75k. It reminds me of the Mahogany-Espresso wood-trim Aerokit at Tyson's Corner last year. It was a fully loaded build as well: C2S, 12,000 miles, CPO. The price started at $86,000 and it went for $72k-ish. I think they had it for nearly 6 months.
People say "only choose black/grey/silver/white" paint for resale. I certainly don't agree, as pretty much any color outside of something very odd (lime gold?) can find a home. Wood trim however: that is a completely different story. Who wants wood trim on their dream sportscar?
Hey all, found this on the Mass Tuning group on Facebook. It's based in Quincy, MA. A 4S manual for this price warrants some research, especially with the low miles. Here is the link. I don't have the VIN or build sheet but I would be happy to help any out-of-staters interested.

Thanks,Sweet car and loaded looking for wide body or 4S same vintage and price not worried about miles.I may go check it out not wild about the grey on grey.
How tough would it be to swap out all the wood with brushed or carbon?
