I don't like the disingenuousness of advertising "$7K H&R Suspension, $9k Brembo brakes, $5k Fabspeed exhaust, $2k Turbo Twist wheels." Each of those "prices" is ~2x inflated.

Maybe I'm just jaded, but when I see a flagrant misrepresentation in an ad (even if it's not over a big ticket item), I immediately lose all faith in the seller. I wouldn't peg the seller as one that would be forthcoming about any potential blemishes in the car's history. I know that's an assumption, but my assumption is based off of the limited info I have (i.e. the FS ad itself).

This car is definitely a looker and could be worth that kind of coin to the right buyer (which is what the seller will need at that price), but if I were in the market I'd be turned off by this poor attempt at salesmanship.

I agree. I would be interested to see the guy's reaction if we ask to see the invoices!

Really Nice car though!

The seller is a dealer that posts cars pretty regularly on pelican. I would never consider buying from him. He comes off as the typical sleazy used car salesman that just happens to sell Porsche's.

...And at the level of inflated pricing of the mods and asking price, I suspect it will be for sale for a looooong time to come.

Too much blue.
While I like the exterior colour a lot, the blue interior on top of that is excessive. Grey would be a lot nicer.

Looks like the asking price went from 53k in July to 60k now. Huzzah, good luck with that! While an unusual color, Horizontblau probably has a more limited audience than some of the other non-mainstream colors like SY, Mexico- or Maritimblau...

Personally I love the exterior color, but couldn't do the interior blue with it. Also, the $6k price jump in the past 3 months is a further turn-off.

I was speaking with a friend that is looking to buy a G Series 911. We were discussing how the blue interior is a bit over the top on certain colors but looks great on the whites or especially on white cabs with matching blue tops.
