carbon fiber PDK shifter ... and a color wheel for proper contrasting!

I think just the wheels and blue interior bits would be enough for most... I prefer the red tails as well but that is a personal decision so no biggie there.

I wonder if that car was ordered by a crazy person at the dealer for stock or if someone backed out? Someone should call and find out!

Also looks like they didn't order the Alcantara sun visors, what a fail!

Nice find STG.

I'm going to be in the minority, but I like the exterior a lot. Super outrageous. The interior... not so much. Blue painted bits are jarring IMHO.

That is absolutely ridiculous that someone backs out on a custom order like that...I hope they made him put down a $10k non-refundable deposit. Seriously who does **** like that? It is one thing to back out on a moderately equipped/priced GTS that will be easy to move... but one at $182k with every option (minus Alcantara sun visors) is just a dirtbag move.

Vise, agreed.

Normally, if the dealer loses money on the ultimate sale its subtracted from the original deposit. Unsure if that holds true in California.

The idea of creating a cost penalty for a spec buyer that bails is compelling. But PCNA would have to do it uniformly. A discretionary 'Non-Refundable Fee for Dubious Taste' would be awkward to enforce

This is very ironic. I had my car into SD Porsche last week and saw this car sitting on the showroom floor. I thought the very same thing regarding how heavily optioned it is, and considered snapping a pic of the window sticker to post!

The wheels don't work for me personally, but man, that took some work in the configurator.

Also, while I was there waiting for my car....a Porsche GT pulled into the service lanes, immediately followed by a gorgoeus GT Silver 918 Spyder. I was stunned to see these two pulling in together. Turns out they are owned by the same guy. The GT was in for a battery swap, not sure what the 918 was in for. The Service Advisor didn't even flinch. Just another Wednesday to him I guess.

Why would it be up to PCNA to set the policy on deposits? Wouldn't that be a dealer thing, and also maybe dependent on each state's laws that govern things like deposits?

You're completely correct GS. My point is that a deal would risk insulting buyers who spec cars in less 'mainstream' manners

No Power Steering Plus either. I'm pretty sure this isn't included in the Premium Pack.

Does nobody else think the red deviated stitching in an interior with electric blue painted bits is a little, uh, off-putting?

Yes! The vents and PCM surround are horrible to me too. Dealer should swap the wheels, I think the exterior actually looks really nice minus those wheels - would probably look better on a white 991.

Maybe the buyer showed up and saw the terrible choices he made and walked away.
