Default Cobalt Blue GT3 for sale

<deleted>

Sorry, just realised (from another thread) that Rennlist doesn't want for sale ads that aren't personal (member) listings. My mistake. : )

Cobalt is pretty amazing in person.
Larry's getting his GT3 in Cobalt with factory delivery and a week at the 'ring.

Bastard.

Probably $25K over, but maybe a lot less once you really get down to it. It's a hefty msrp to start with.
There's a PDF below the pic.

That price is a little steep without a mark up.

Cobalt looks pretty blah in person. The flash in the picture makes it "pop"

Always looks dirty.....

i take it you sold your car adam?

helping a dealer ask 25k over on a used 997gt3?
i'm assuming the dealer is a rennlist sponsor in good standing?
are they really paying these nutjob prices in cali?
what did he give the guy trade allowance on the RS against msrp?
is he trying to break-off 100k profit on two sales?

Default cobalt

That color is smoking in person. Who ever said it looks "dirty" all the time is crazy. The contrasting yellow is hot too!!

I was exaggerating ... I don't know their asking price.

It's one of those dealers that "speculates" on cars. They took this GT3 in trade on an RS which a customer miraculously ordered with a ton of options and then didn't want, so they put the RS on the market for sale "at market value."

If I see pattern, it's the low-option cars that are _real_ customer orders and it's the heavily optioned cars which are _pseudo_ customer orders which end up for sale at a premium over market with no miles on the clock.

The MSRP new was $132, 410

Sorry, I should have clarified a bit better. I looked at the PDF of the sales invoice. The original order called for over 25K in options ADDED to the base price of the car. I don't understand why somebody would add 25K in options.
