Default Selling the white unicorn

I had posted a few months back about selling my turbo but didn't try very hard and it was the beginning of fall, not the best time to sell a sports car in Colorado. Anyway, my business is starting to take off and I need additional capital. While I had the car in at the dealer for service last week the sales manager approached me and asked if I wanted to sell. He has offered a very fair cash offer and saying that I would have until December 31, 2013 to apply the value to another car at their dealership.

So, I thought I would give the Rennlist members one last chance at my car before it goes to the dealer and they tack on $8K to what they give me. I am looking for $59K OBO.

The car was a special order for a long-time customer and is loaded to the 9's. Original MSRP was $165,240 and it has the exact same equipment as the 2005 Turbo S coupe plus another $20K in options. It is 1 of 298 coupes produced in 2004 and still under Porsche CPO until April 2014. All service records, clean car fax and pristine condition mechanically and cosmetically.

Here is a link to the car from when I bought it last year on Dupont. It has all the details with pictures and an "entertaining sales video".

Forgot to mention that I had new PSS10s installed in the last 500 miles and it was corner balanced and aligned to GT2 Spec. Also, I have the Sport Techno wheels or the very rare GT3 look/turbo offset shown in my avatar available. Car is 100% stock minus the PSS10s and clear side markers.

Finally, mileage is currently at 30,607 as of today.

If you turn it in are you going to do so with the technos? I would be interested in the GT3 rims.

I am using that as a negotiation point with the dealer but the goal is to keep the GT3 wheels and sell them separately. I will put you first on the list if this occurs.

Off topic but based on your avatar, have you read "The Dude and the Zen Master"? Funny book about Lebowski, Bridges, etc......

White was my second choice color and I've admired your car since I arrived in July. If I mention buying it to my wife and she kicks me out, can I stay with one of you?

Yeah, Byers is awesome. I never thought such a nice Porsche dealer would be in Columbus, OH. Not that I have anything against Columbus; wife's family lives there but Byers had an incredible inventory of high-end P-cars (lots of GT3s, GT2s, RSs, on and on. Also, very nice and honest dealer.

It was recently recommended to me, but I haven't gotten my hands on a copy just yet. Thanks for bringing this new sh*t to light, man.
