Here's the listing, definitely PTS Racing Green Metallic. Looks like $tealer is charging ~$50k ADM...

And I was told by my guy at the dealership, they had a strong offer at $ 225K and they turned them down.

I am glad that I bought all my Porsches in 2020 and 2021, before the madness ramped up. I don't think I'm a player in this greed game from some of the Porsche dealers, I can find plenty of other nice cars to drive if need be.

I believe those are just two of the options that “help with resale down in the future and to enjoy currently for best experience and driving fast”

I feel like I’m priced out of the 911 market now too. I would have loved a GT3 touring but the ADM was too strong….more than I wanted to pay at least. I am not able to manage my budget as well as porschewiseguy even though I make 8x what he does.

This is why I ordered an M2 to be another car to drive. Paying $1k off sticker on a custom order.

The owner of this car waited a year and a half for it, and it had a bad ECU in it. In order to change the ECU, the engine has to come out and the owner appartently was not comfortable with that and demanded Porsche buy back in the car. He was accommodated, plus he got an allocation for another, I was told. The dealership them replaced the ECU and bought the car from Porsche USA, where they will sell it to some sucker for a ridiculous price.

It's crazy out there.....these are becoming SOMETHING other than cars that you drive.

I don't get it.
I still don’t understand how such a “invasive “ repair fails to be disclosed. Either in the listing or CarFax.

This looks like a "I don't wanna sell it just yet" price

Carfax data is obtained from insurance companies, DMV records and what dealers/repair shops report. Obviously the dealer is not going to report this since they want to sell the car for top dollar.

So not PTS Plus. I knew either the color or the PTS class was incorrectly advertised.

Based on my pathetic interactions most SAs couldn't even spell 'PTS'....

Good

This car is likely 1 of 1 or 1 of a couple. The color is absolutely incredible and is now PTS+ for $30K+ if they allowed you to order it.

Bad

It never worked properly, there were multiple errors, misfires, etc. After all of the problems I didnt want it anymore.

It was bought back by the dealer not Porsche directly. PNA was garbage to deal with, really soured me on the brand.



IMO and just about anyone that has seen this car in person will tell you how beautiful it is. Too bad I had all of the issues I did. Also the car has full ppf and the wheels have ceramic. Supposedly it runs properly now but I would require an extended warranty which Porsche would not do for me.

$202K and you cant get the 18 ways with that interior. If you ever bought a car at this level you would know that.
