For GTS cars, dealers don't move at all on price. This applies to the ridiculously high priced ones (135k+) to the reasonably priced ones (110k). I thought I could call and negotiate with the high priced dealers, but it seems they'd rather have the car sit on the lot than to lower their price. I just bought a GTS for 1k less than asking, and that's probably because it was at an Aston Martin dealership and I called the day it landed on their lot.

Great build, very competitive price $82k, 12,600 miles, and ducktail! I went to look at this car, but on my way to the dealership, it sold. Car looked awesome. Previous owner painted the wheels black.

Anyway, one week after seeing the car, while I was signing the paperwork for my sapphire blue GTS, dealer called me and said previous buyer had finance problems and backed out. Obviously was too late for me, but maybe one of you guys can pick it up. If you call, ask for Ahren, he's great to work with, and also said that he would fix a couple minor things on the car before sale (front spoiler clips had popped off from transport and rear bottom spoiler needed painting - previous owner painted it red )

That is hot... It was auctioned at some point, which usually isn't a good sign: http://mmsc400.manheim.com/MABEL/ECR...R&SWO=2187224#

Anyone have carfax access? Curious to see if it's clean.

Here's the full text of the craigslist ad, in case it disappears
2014 Porsche 911 S $135,500 window sticker with COA included. Special ordered Porsche 911 S with 430hp factory exclusive power kit ($18000 + option alone). Existing factory warranty. The options are very similar to what you would find on a GTS. Included is a picture of the COA (certificate of authenticity). PDCC with PASM Sport suspension, 20" factory wheels with 5mm spacers, sport exhaust, sport seats, sport design package factory aero kit. Stunning build for a discriminating Porsche enthusiast. The car is extremely clean and also has protective film on front of 911. Very unique and rare 911 S. This is what the purists want. Feel free to call/email with questions. Joe 832 434 7788

Here it is for sale on a BMW lot with 11k miles for $81k. Maybe someone bought and is selling again.

Ok, my guess is that it was listed for sale at Towne BMW in NY for 81k, wouldn't sell, so they auctioned the car. It was then picked up by this guy in TX, driven a couple thousand miles, and is now for sale again. Interested buyers should ask a lot of questions.

You can buy a new piece in the OEM black plastic for like $120 or so. Easy swap.

Nice work to you and Serge010

Serge, I had 010 on my old plate. Like the way it looked. Someone told me what the "urban dictionary" meaning was and I changed it.

The powerkit car definitely has a bit of funky history... Not sure if this is accurate, don't have a current carfax subscription. Not seeing anything that shows a branded title, but I'm betting there was some repaired damage before the big price drop?

... Also, on a different car, anybody in the Redondo Beach, CA area that might be able to take a preliminary look at a car for me?
