Because black is oh-so-original-and-in-hot-demand.
I'm considering more parts in yellow but I gotta get creative and there ain't much left...

OP - don't be afraid to negotiate, only those that do not try, fail. If you have to have the car, they've already won. If ready to walk unless you score, score you will.

Well, if you "have to have the car" it's actually YOU who won if you got the car.

I've been a hard-assed negotiator on both sides of the table for much of my career. Sometimes it's just very fun to say screw it and put some of that money we worked so hard for to good use buying exactly what we want, when we want it, at a fair but not exceptional price.

Fortunately, it sounds like you actually love yellow 911s, so good price or not you wound up with a car you love.

If I, on the other hand, had had a choice between a yellow GTS at a 112k and a Carmine Red or GT Silver GTS at 135k, no contest -- the yellow one's staying at the dealer for yet another month.

You are very fortunate to prefer a color that the vast majority of potential buyers passed on.

Ha. I wasn't trying to disparage your car. I like bright colored sports cars. I just thought OP should have all the details to get a better picture when negotiating.
