Default Cobalt Blue GT3 F/S

Just thought I would put this out there, not to help Park Place, but I'm always shocked by their pricing..they sure are proud of their cars...Would any of you guys pay this?? It's nice, but come on..

Great colors.

Sure, I would pay that if I really wanted a special color. Low miles, warranty, what's not to like?

Am I the only one that's crazy & not tight here?

Nice looking car! Way over-priced! What is up with the carpet, it looks like vacuum cleaner marks, but they so evenly spaced. Or is that the "custom tailoring" option?

That is what I paid for mine with the same milage in March of 05. I like the color. It is May of 08 now and the 997s are here. I doubt they will get mid eighties.

Good for them! I'd rather see it overpriced than under. We (owners) do have some control over this small market.

Dallas is a lot like LA in my opinion, lots of money and high value placed on flash, not always a lot of common sense... the area of Dallas occupied by Park Place is the epicenter of this phenomena...

I am a citizen, and a proud Texan, so dont get me wrong... and no offense meant to any Dallas or LA proponents, but this pricing doesnt surprise me in the least.

I sometimes wonder who does the pricing there.
They had 2 super low mile GT2s at $105k (below market) that immediatly sold and then a rough one at 100k with the wrong wheels. I told them it was a 85K car; they laughed. Its been there for 3 months now. New price ? 89k. We'll see.
I'm going to wait one more year.

When I bought my last car from Park Place, I was told that quite a bit of their inventory is purchased by Canadians. Overpriced for us is still reasonable to them.
