Everything is wrong with that poor car. What kind of monster at Porsche would allow such nonsense?

Hell of a price but the money it would take to fix it would make the deal not worth it

blue and red and probably the least acceptable exterior color combo, but what idiot would order red gauges? This is 2nd worst to the exterior green/red combo. At least with the green/red you can paint the exterior red parts black and it would be a really nice car.

just have to go extra step to swap the gauge.

i don't believe this car have no issue. a 149k sticker selling for 126k with 59 miles... who can dig the history of it? i'm really curious.

Why don’t you relax a bit and take it easy.
Why you have to call idiot someone that has different taste in colors?
Maybe someone else from here has red gauges in his car.

BTW I don’t have and I don’t like them.

At at least 10K off a base one, I'd take it in a heartbeat if I did not already have one.
Remove the red if you don't like it.

The ONLY way to know if the car is clean is to get a PPI with body work search. That means removing the liners and bumper covers. It does cost $600 but you will know if the car is correct. If repaired right it would still be worth getting but maybe less money.

Well at least it has the "right" seats and, apart from the red guages, it is a standard color combo.
But... The thrill of getting a good deal wears out; the disapointment of getting the wrong car does not.

~$25k off sticker for a new car. I think the market is now soft and whoever wanted one bought one. And personally I am not a fan of the color combo or red guages. Another $25k off and you have a donor car for an existing RS owner or a base for a track-only car.

The wart can be removed.

Yes, the Aqua Blue is lovely in the sun, just peel off those red decals.

I would guess the car is clean and perfect and ready to go, the dealer tried to hold out and get a fantasy market value adjustment and now he is choking on it. Hopefully an enthusiast buys it and gives it a home on the track.

cool with the sport chrono but hate the XM radio. i think the exterior wart is way worse than the interior. i can't believe how many cars have the XM wart...

Maybe my priorities are all wrong but if the car is really perfect I'd take any color combo and and gauge color if somebody gave me a 25k discount. The decals look bad on all color combos IMHO and would be the first thing I'd get rid of... gauges could be replaced at a later date.

Is the market soft or is it a poorly specced car that no one wants? It was obviously a custom order, so it may of had a deposit that the dealer is keeping; also effecting the bottom line. Locally, we had a special order RS that the owner decided not to take delivery on and became available. It is Guards Red with black trim, black graphics, black wheels, full leather, PCM, front end lift and red stitching. Sold for list just a couple of weeks ago.
