A lot of options and unusual Grey Black/Carrera Red color combo. Deal? Maybe not, unless this is your unicorn.

That car was amazing and appears to already be gone. High quality cars in white or black with factory installed aero kits are premium fricken cars. I am still looking for a decent white GTS with a factory installed aero kit. The only I have seen in last year or so was priced around a $100k.
I am not a huge fan of the Aerokit wing, but I love the front bumper, spoiler, and the Getty Ducktail. I figure that I might as well get what I really want and save money while I am at it. There is no reason to pay any more for a car than what it costs to install an Aerokit myself. I also prefer a car with S-PASM and LSD, if I am paying upwards of $64k for a C2S.
They had it for about a week before I called. I decided against it, and it sold the next day.

I had 1st dibs on that car and passed. The only reason I passed is that there is a similar, local, manual car to me for $57k in a color I prefer (Atlas). I can buy the sport classic front bumper, Getty Duck, paint, shipping, and labor for $5,700, and come out slightly ahead with a manual and the ducktail, which I prefer. Plus, I don't have to pay $1500 for shipping. Really though, the manual is my preference all day long.

That is an awesome ride, basically "fully loaded" (although thats not really a possible given so many conflicting options on Porsches). Absolutely gorgeous.

Same goes for Racing Green Metallic and Macadamia (most have sand beige leather, but Cocoa looks best with those colors IMO).

Can't even argue with the 6 figure asking price, given the MSRP..
#4298
That color on the turbo though, not the greatest choice.

Yeah, there are some shades of gray paint that to me just always look like a vinyl wrap, and not in a good way. It's a shame when someone goes through the trouble/expense of doing a PTS color and gets something that isn't spectacular and jaw-dropping.

The guy probably wanted to emulate a GT3RS (on which this color was standard) but without the red accents it does not work as well. If he went with red wheels and graphics (or at least lighter colors) it would have worked better.

Wow, I think you’d have to be crazy to buy that in America. Can it even be registered, insured or driven? Mechanically it is a 997.2 GTS which is of course under $100,000. Definitely all the leather and custom trim is beautiful but it doesn’t make any sense, especially here.
