Default An 08 C2S listed north of $117?

OK so where should one start the bidding assuming I had the ***** to phone this guy in IL? Looks like he is asking sticker, $117k, I can't read it.
And yes I know not everyone will like the color, so lets assume that's a personal preferance.

I guess the real question will be how much value is there in the color-to-sample?

FYI It is listed as pre-owned with just 5 miles on the clock.

It would be interesting to find out if this car has been "punched" and if so, when.

Man...that is bloody ugly. The seller should try listing it for sale in the next issue of "Pimps Weekly."

In service or not is not clear, one www says "Pre-Owned" but another has it listed under "new" But yes that would affect the price for sure regardless of it's listing in "Pimps Weekly."

Don't immediately discount this for the color. While not my personal color choice, someone out there may be excited to get to buy a Paint To Sample of this sort and is willing to pay a bit more for it. Then again, a lot of people 'settle' on a silver or black car merely for the price.

For what it's worth according to the sales guy at Loeber it sold for $3k off list last Saturday. It had been sitting a while. It was new.

Curious what does "punched" mean?

Also, I did some research......James "sugar lips" Johnson bought the car.

PCNA has counted it as a retail sale--could have been put in "demo" status or sold to a customer (although not likely the latter with 5 miles). The warranty clock starts ticking when the unit is punched.

This car sold for only $3K under??? I'm still trying to come to grips with the fact that someone actually bought it...

If anyone can help me locate the purchaser, I have some awesome "vintage" clothing from the 70s and 80s that would look GREAT whilst driving this...eh...ummm...car? I'd be willing to let it go for only twice what I originally paid.

Yeah, gotta agree. Somebody paid $114,000 for this 2008 C2S? Really? Really?

I have to admit that I like the exterior color. It's not my cup of tea but I think it looks cool.
I think the interior doesn't quite work though. I'm not big on the vents and instrument cluster surround paint options in this car.
Believe me it is easy to add up options quickly when you spec out a dream car. This was most likely someone's dream car that didn't work out for them. My TT has about 25K in options - trust me, it's easy to do and I didn't even get the PCCB!

i saw this car on the floor almost a year ago when i went to look at their GT-2 they were asking $50K over for (another story entirely).

they had this one and another in a very attractive but gaudy blue (i liked it, but some may not have).

as i recall one of the cars had a big aero kit, which i never like. i told them they would not be selling it anytime soon. the salesman laughed, just as he did when i said the most i would pay for the GT-2 was $10K over.

guess he stopped laughing at some point...
