Default Mexico Blue GT3 for sale

Found it on eBay this eve. Pre-owned title w/ 49 miles? Heavily optioned w/ PCCBs, dynamic engine mounts, & unfortunately a bunch of stuff most of us don't want. Love the color of course. Larry if it's bought & driven in CA looks like you've got a near twin.

Same car is currently listed for approx. $10K less at Cars.com ($127,888) than the 'Buy Now' price on Ebay ($138K). http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...5&aff=national Bought new at Pacific Porsche in LA Area. The whole thing is odd. z356

Excepting the sport chrono, that's not a bad spec for street-biased GT3. Not sure why you need to put leather on the back of the seats but to each his own. I'd have no problem owning this car and the color is classic.

Personally I think it's a great option...if you have the funds to indulge in these unusual options which Porsche offers and almost no other manufacturer will do for you. Besides, Larry's '10 Mexico Blue gt3 also has it so it must be now a tradition with anyone that orders this unusual and beautiful PTS color to put leather on the back of their seats! z356

Nothing like the feeling of touching leather with your right hand when you push the seat’s back forward to put your Louis Vuitton Apache briefcase in the back seat.
And yours for only 1870USD. A no brainer.

I have to agree this car is sort of the twin of mine, ordered by the same group (lithia) as my Monterey car, the fact that both cars have the seat backs covered just suggests that the same guy specs them

This car was still on the lot in may I believe so it's not been on the road that long ...

It is a bit weird

you think $2k to cover the backs of the seats in leather is a bargain ...?

I think its a pretty useless option; when I bought my car from Monterey I basically told them from the outset that I would not pay for an option I would not myself have specced, since the car had been sitting on the lot for 5 months so they accepted that...

YUP! although I think a single YSL leather handbag is more expensive than the leather seatback options on the GT3!

Is that the Vuitton Man Bag? I need me one of those for track days. Keep my gloves and balaclava in. Mooty will see it in my car and want one too.

Lol...

That crap, er, bags ARE expensive...ask me how I know And the quality of these damn purses are terrible! Wifey and me have that conversation sometimes. I tell her she is just paying for Ferraris and Bentleys given the cost of goods of this crap, er, purses. Profit margin must be astronomical. More than Porsche even...

Anyhoo, I think leather backs would be good in a Turbo, but sorry, not in a track oriented car. Gotta get scuffed with gear going in and out of the back seat area?
