Default 2008 C2S Paint to Sample

I found this at Euroclassics in VA. I wonder if this could be the Turquoise Blue that Dan (Edgy01) has on his car?

I think the exterior pics are over exposed so the color in the pics is probably lighter than the actual color. However, if you look at the close up pic of the wheel and the two interior pics that also show the exterior color, the color appears darker than the rest of the pics.

Carrera S/2008/Non-Metallic Paint to Sample

Asking price is $79,975, which I think is about $7K to $8K too high for a 4 year old car. Your pricing comments & opinions would be appreciated.

Edgy's car has different wheels, PCCB and a tan interior. Is Edgy selling his car?

Mike,

No, Edgy is not selling his car. I guess I wasn't clear in the original post. I was wondering if the car in question was Turquoise Blue, like Dan's car.

I have modified my original post, hopefully for more clarity.

I'm thinking it is but it'll be interesting to see what Dan says....he's the expert on that color!

Stunning car. I think regardless of the age it's only got 8k. Many cars that age would be up into the 30 or 49s by now. So the price? Sure, it's a bit high if the car was silver over black with few options and 30k miles. I might swap out the wheel set but short of that I love it and would look at buying it if you like the colour.

That is the same price my dad paid for his CPO C4S Cab 2 yrs ago. Is the current market that strong?

I really like the PTS blue on this car.

Default Wow... Dealer inventory

Wow. Check out the dealers new and used inventory. Nice. They appear to have very well optioned cars. I love the different colour combinations as Vancouver is a very silver on black town.

Definitely a looker but I agree with you on the price. That's very close to what I paid for my current car with 1,900 miles on it.

If it goes for asking or near asking, I won't be the buyer. It's a nice car and color, but not THAT nice.

Agreed!

I can get a 2010 C2S, CPO, 4K miles, Bose, Nav, with Standard leather for less than the asking price of the 2008 PTS Blue car.

It's probably not Oslo Blue (blau) - but based on the lighting it looks similar in some shots and not even close in others I think Oslo Blue was offered as a special order color for 2007 and 2008 models. Turquoise Blue always struck me as lighter (maybe more white pigment in the paint).

Great looking cars on that site. They have the best looking Boxster Spyder I have seen.

Very stunning car! Looks great! If I had the means and permission I'd definately look at it more closely especially if it were a 2009.2 model!
