No pictures? What are they thinking? See what you get when you leave auto sales to salesmen?

I'm telling you, Blue is the new world order! Look at all the blue around here.

Someone will be very lucky to score this car.

Nice find Bruce!

I know!

Priced in the 70's and while we won't know the transaction price I'm guessing PtS is the one option (only option) that can actually appreciate.

A ".1" Carrera 2 $72K? Seems high compare to this blue ".2" http://www.hennessyporsche.com/preow...88833/info.php for $67K. Is Mexico Blue that big o' "bump"?

Um can't you get a new one for pretty much the same money?

Maybe a marked down '10 - but not likely in that color. Still - what a premium for the paint.

$84k MSRP for a stripper with PtS.
We'd need to see the spec of this Mexico Blue '08 to decide, I can't imagine it's bare bones.

WOW - these blue ones are quite special (read pricey)! The asking price seems a bit over the top for me. But I spoze you can ask anything. In June I picked up an 08 'S' with 13K miles, had a sticker of $103k, so it's well fitted up with options, and included $5k worth of level 4 Fabspeed/EVO engine mods for a measly $63k. Granted, it ain't blue, but at least it's a colour other than gry/black. And mostly, that's all I was looking for.

That Ruby Red is one heck of a color... it's the only thing that makes me rethink my build.
I flipped a coin and Midnight Blue one out...Which i'm very happy with.
Hey there's always next time, and maybe i will rig the coin to land Ruby side up...;-)

I don't drive my car at night - well hardly ever.

It has the carbon sport bucket seats listed (first offered in '08) those alone are worth at least $3k, maybe even more? Plus the thicker steering wheel.

This is one lovely car, if I didn't already own mine I'd be on a plane now!

Price point; I paid $53.5k for my '06 car (delivered/punched only Jan '07) a year ago, with less than 6k miles. $72k for a CPO '08 Mexico Blue "S" with carbon sport bucket seats is spot on!

Saw it yesterday at pioneer. It's freaking georgeous! It's an 2008 S with the gt3 sport bucket seats (the real cool euro $$$ ones) and 18k miles according to the rep. Ad says 10k, but it's definitely an S, unlike what their web ad says. Most likely will be cpo. A week too late for me! It won't last. It was being prepped and I was picking up my new one which was having the clear bra done. Didn't have the option list on yet and it was pouring rain
