Seems about 15k-20k overpriced no?

yeah, I'd say it's a $50-55k car. low miles and well optioned, though (including PCCBs).

They must be smoking summin. $72.9K for a 2005. That's one expensive PTS. car has low miles and nice options. But come on.

Yeh, pretty car but ridiculous price! A new PTS is only about $5K, they seem to be asking about $25-30K for used PTS!

In the add it refers to both Mexico blue and Riviera blue. I think those are different colors. Close, but different. Which one is it?

Cowhorn

That's Riviera.

It's about $20k overpriced.

Also as nice as it is to enthusiasts here, I think that color on the general market is a value detractor, not enhancer. The conservative colors are easier/faster to sell. Colors like this take longer to sell, and longer on the lot is more cost to the dealer.

If it's Mexico Blue it's over priced.

If it's Riviera Blue it's under priced.

OK, just kidding, hold onto your panties everyone.

Are you looking to make an offer 2424?

This ad has been around for some time. I think it's Mexico Blue. Porsche didn't start painting Riviera Blue onto 997s until a year or so later.

Inexplicably no heated seats, otherwise this is a special car, I’m sure the natural grey full leather interior is as rare as the PTS. That along with PCCCB’s makes this car unique.
Anyway with a PTS car some logic goes out the window and along comes some (a lot of!) emotion.
Let’s say you really want a PTS non-metallic blue Carrera/Carrera S for the most part that comes down to three choices, Turquoise, Riviera (sometimes confused with Mexico) and Maritime.
You can either buy new or used.
Used market, you can look all day, for a year or two, or maybe you get lucky and find what you want sooner.
Buying new with just the PTS paint as an option is over $98K MSRP (excluding taxes or discount, good luck on a made to order PTS car!)
Buying new with the same spec is around $118k MSRP.
So some might consider this a $25k or even a $45k discount, considering the $73k asking price.
Yeah I know it’s 7 model years old, 10k on the clock and out of warranty. But if you really had to have it you’d use the fuzzy math above to justify it!

I love Mexico Blue but at that price, I'd rather wrap my arctic silver car and have plenty of money left over for my wife's bathroom renovation.

way overpriced. sure it is unique, and obviously they are going with the assumption that this car isn't everything to everybody, but everything to somebody. Still, not sure that ceramics or pts really are going to garner much of a premium over a regular low mileage c2S. i guess you might expect to pay a bit more because the color is hard to find, but really it is hard to imagine someone would pay 20k more than market value for it.

The only question that you have to answer is is it worth it to you. Are you emotionally involved? Do you love it. Those kind of decisions are rarely made with your head......nor IMO should they be!

good Luck!

paid $67.5K for mine - a 2008 C2S, which had only 2950 miles, included enclosed transport (Chicago to SF) and CPO'd until 2014
