How do dealers deal with builds like this in places where the deposits are fully refundable? In ordinary times these cars would be very hard to sell.

You only need ONE crazy person (besides the first buyer) to sell the car. If you don't succeed, then you sell the 911 for the reduced price and then there is bound to be another crazy person who will pay

Cost of doing business. I still don’t think they’ll have trouble selling this one compared to other crazier builds.

It looks like badly misrepresented Martini Racing colours.
Surely the dealer should have intercept the config and discuss with the customer.
Then again, none of us enjoy being told what options we may or may not select.

I need to know if the dealer required 100% payment up front to spec it this way.

Oof....

The worst color combination on a Porsche to me is triple black. Except for maybe that yellow over all beige one, I'd take them all over triple black.

That yellow C4S with beige interior takes the cake.

Should make an example thread of just bad color combinations.

I bet Michael *** was the original buyer.

No that copper or pale sienna or whatever PTS color with the blue interior and yellow belts. It has yellow calipers and orange side markers, there are so many issues.

The only upside to the OP car is that a decent chalk, white, or red repaint or wrap could fix it. If the interior is a decent style, you can at least fix the issue by redoing the exterior. Not optimal, but at least salvageable.

Have you seen the 997 generation Sand Beige interior w/ matching carpet. It's like a mix of mustard or dog crap everywhere on the interior. And that was a Porsche standard interior 15 years ago. Porsche doesn't have a filter, they just take in $$. Dealers will demand significantly higher non-refundable deposits for these sort of cars to ensure that if you walk, they can still unload it and not lose money.

Well, that's just not fair. It's virtually impossible to make a vintage E-type look bad. Why, Enzo himself said it was the most beautiful car ever made.
