Very weird pricing for sure... Having had the choice 4 years ago when I purchased my 996 Turbo of Arctic over Metropol vs. Arctic over Graphite the choice was very easy as there was just not enough contrast with the Arctic over Graphite for my tastes. Add in the fact that the cheaper one from Carlo's listings was Polar silver (a stunning color and NOT common at all), I'm very surprised to see it went for so much less.

I think it might have.

Do whatever you like, just do it with a good body person who will make it all fit and look goog. I've got a misha that I picked up a while back, then ordered all the OEM plastic, fan, harness, brake light, etc., and will join the **** gang this year. You can tell the difference when your hydraulic wing stops working and you're accellerating through a slight bend at 140.

How do you guys like this one. Not a fan of the unknown tune "we estimate that it has between 550 and 600 hp" , really, how do you estimate that? But apart from that, what a beauty. Such a pretty thing and only 26k miles on it, what a waste.

The most the K24s will support is 575hp.

I love slate (I have a slate X50 myself), but not as much a fan of the supple leather options on these cars. I have regular black.

Their prices have way to much "Velocity".

Price seems crazy.

Does it? that looks like a very sweet low mileage S in a classic color. I think the unknown tune is a ding, but other than that I love it. Price doesn't seem crazy to me compared to what people ask for run of the mill cars these days.

Yes. For someone who wants to use it, it's gonna require maintenance. It looks like an original 911 turbo for $82k. What am I missing? I'm selling mine w/ almost every nut and bolt gone through w/ more miles but will need nothing for many years for $30k less.

Is yours an S? Also as we know these cars are bullet proof and can run a million miles, but fact is the market does give a premium for low mileage. Compared to the X50 that sold on BaT the other day for 74.5k plus fees, to me this car looks superior in every way apart from the unknown tune.

The low mileage makes it a collector car, thus the premium price. It’s as simple as that.

Having a 20k mile Turbo, non X50, I hope they get the price, though I think it's a stretch.
