Default 2017 Carrera S Limited Racing Edition

Guys

Any thoughts on this car? Is it worth the price of admission?
I found one available on EBAY and am struggling to see if the extra price for some cosmetic items make it a true collectible. Any input is appreciated, including any ribbing

Thanks

Porsche of Roslyn is proud to offer this limited 1 of 67 made for the US Endurance edition 911 S. Graphics inspired by the automaker’s 2016 World Endurance Championship racing team, 20-inch black-finish Carrera S alloy wheels, gloss-black exterior mirrors and a glass electric sunroof. The Carrera S Endurance Racing Edition also boasts black-accent LED headlamps with the Porsche Dynamic Light System. Inside, black leather sport buckets have a Porsche crest embossed into the headrests and are matched with an Exclusive Carbon Fiber interior trim package, Guards Red seatbelts, black tachometer, and a storage compartment lid embossed with "Porsche Intelligent Performance." Other touches include special door sill plates, a GT Sport Steering wheel with Guards Red rim band and an appropriate “Endurance Racing Edition” dash badge.
This car can only be summed up in one word: lol

Collectible? Never

Buy a GTS instead of a sticker package

^this. I'm not a fan of sticker packages. Nothing extraordinary special about this one, at least to me.

It is used with 2k miles, probably used as a demo.

Hmmm...Lets see here, should I buy that, or for the same money get a Turbo S and a GT3 RS? What a tough choice!!

I'm all for a company making a buck, but the plethora of "special editions" Porsche marketing has released is becoming a joke. It's like "Indy Pace Car" special editions or homages to particular NASCAR drivers. It's nothing but a money grab using decals and perhaps a new paint color. Having just gone through the ordering process for a new 911, I'm appalled at the crazy prices Porsche is asking not only for their base cars, but particularly the options. I'm beginning to think PAG has hired some pricing specialists from Maranello to help foot the bill for the VAG emissions losses. This can't go on fore ever. There's a day coming when Porsche sales take a sharp downward turn. It only takes a correction in the world economies for discretionary spending to curtail.
