Default Help me understand this ~$40k difference on two 997.1 C2s

Perhaps I’m missing something here but these two cars seem pretty similar to have a $40k msrp delta? I realize one is a year newer and options are a bit different but can someone explain the main driver to me? I’m looking to buy the 06 and was using the 07 as a bit of a comp so trying to see if the $120k msrp is real??

1 year newer, Sport chrono, different paint code, heated seats, 19" wheels. Leather sport seats.
Can't see that making up a 30k price difference though.
Maybe a 4S?

I hear ya and fro what I could find paint option is at most $4k, Sport Chrono is about $1k so not sure about the rest. Could it be fake?

The answer is very simple...... the first is PCNA. A USA car. The second is PCL. A porsche cars Canada limited. Part of the difference is currency exchange

USD to CAD averaged about 1 to 1.17 for early ‘07 when pricing factors were assigned. USD to USD the 2007 car is roughly $10k more...so right in line with the options difference and 2% inflation.

Good catch docdrs. Dollars versus Loonies. I completely missed that.
