another variation of 10 other silvers offered by Porsche, little I see unique about that considering the premium and otherwise “base” spec - normal seats, plastic dash, etc
I've noticed that he will purchase cars that are listed on national for-sale sites by individual sellers (such as Auto Trader) - then offers them with prices that are marked way up...
Here's a 2015 991 GTS manual shift car that he acquired that way. I was following it for awhile on Auto Trader when it was being advertised by the car's owner. The seller lowered the price to $117k. Later on, it was gone from Auto Trader, and I found it listed with Grand Prix... I've not confirmed the Grand Prix price (you have to contact him directly - which is always a bad sign...) No telling how high he has marked it up...
I never understood getting a PTS in a plain or common color. A PTS black or silver or grey? An unusual hue of a grey Maybe. For the cost why not something unique. You can buy a silver car right off the shelf. Well, you used to.

Yea totally agree. His prices seem to be at around a 15 - 20K premium most of the time. I often wonder how many he sells?
I think (these days especially), he does pretty well. He does seem to hold out for the top money and does not appear to be concerned about sitting on inventory as long as he has to.

I agree. The original owner of my car spec’d it as Ferrari Fly Yellow. I would’ve been fine with Speed Yellow, if I was ordering new. But, whatever. I’ll take it.
