The SA went on to explain that it shifts like a race car using paddles. Not knowing that he had lost me there,I've just asked why is their advertised price higher than the sticker MSRP on the window? He went on to say : " Because it's a " special " car and this is Manhattan after all ". All while displaying a crafty smile.
Now 2 gentlemen walk in and see a GT4 sitting there. A car that folks in the U.S. have only seen on YouTube and in magazines. They ask if it's for sale and the answer is : " yeah sure! Not only that it's for sale,but AT MSRP TOO!!! " WOW!!!
So yeah,it's either a Christmas Miracle or there's something more to the story...

I would think Suncoast Parts or similar suppliers will have different colors you could swap.

Not sure why that's so funny, there would be a lineup to buy the car on those terms and whoever the new owners is should consider himself fortunate.

Congrats!
