It's not that simple.
I ordered my RS from Reeves in Tampa because they never sell over MSRP.
I would never pay over MSRP, but some people have the money to spend and like the instant gratification.

I ordered my RS in April '08 and ordered a GTR to carry me over.
Before the GTR arrived I found a GT3 and listed the GTR on ebay and got 15K over MSRP. I don't feel bad, they buyer was happy she got the car when she needed it.

Then don't buy it. Let the guy sell his car without comments that don't pertain to the sale. People can do whatever they want with their cars and he's Porsche enthusiast so who cares why.

I do not know about the rest of you but there is something about this orange color that amazes me and draws me in very much like the Riv Blu PTS GT3 RS 4.0 .....OP, expensive car but GLWS....I wish I could afford it! And with the fugly ugly 991 that is here and the 991 GT3 coming and the lack of excitement from me on a probable GT3 pdk only platform this may be the last good real 911 Porsche GT3 to own.

And this is why this car will sell. It is a unique car made even more unique with the PTS.

It is priced right IMO, and I don't think it would be fiscally prudent to get a car like this to flip in this climate. Heck, even if there is a premium in the asking price, it can't be a big one once you factor the PTS, black wheels, etc.

New 4.0 in Canada is MSRP of approx $245k, and the dollar is at par.

Good luck, but this car will sell.

ADD for grown-ups... NOT saying it's the case here, but I think that we all have it to some extent, just different levels of the 'affliction', but also obviously related to means.

Take good care of it. I may want to buy it from you in a few years! Just a short drive down 65 and an even shorter trip back north.
