Default Thoughts on this car?

Hey Gents,

I wanted to get some thoughts on this car... https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...6178/overview/

Anyone know the previous owner? Some curiosities with this car, which include a replaced windshield, different color wheels then the build sheet and an odometer reading error on autocheck. Also has a corporate owner listed. It's been on sale for over a month now. Is that normal for Carmine Red GT4s?

Thanks in advance!

Looks Guards Red to me.

Windshield replacement is not a big issue, I've had mine replaced after a rock cracked it a while back. It seems Porsche windshields in general are rather brittle when it comes to rock impacts. Had mine replaced on my Cayenne for the same reason too.

Sounds very similar to my car, CR, guards seat belts and interior trims, 18-way seats, fire extinguisher. Mine doesn't have Sport Chrono; MSRP $102,235. I bought mine with 4500 miles on the clock, June 2017.

Thanks, and I'll try starting there if I make an offer.... I feel like it's missing a few options I wanted, PCCBs and Carbon trim but has things I really like (CR, LWBs).

I traded a 12,000 mile $136k MSRP 2015 Carrera GTS for it so the deal was complicated. The nominal price paid was 107 (ask was 108); but the tax ramifications in Georgia of trading the Carrera saved me over $7000 in state sales tax so I was willing to "pay" more for the dealer trade car than I would have in an outright purchase.

And for the record, mine looks Guards red in photos taken in flourescent light:

For a data point: I just paid slightly under MSRP of $112,900 for a Sapphire Blue Metallic GT4 that was CPO, in mint condition, with $5,000 in clear bra/wrap, tinted windows, etc.,- - - with less than 1500 miles on it from a dealer here in the SF Bay Area. Pretty much came with all of the options that I wanted too.... like PCCB's and bucket seats, deviated stitching, some leather, carbon fiber interior trim, sport chrono, etc.

Sounds like a beautiful car with a great build. That's basically the build I'm looking for, CR or SBM with buckets, PCCBs, leather, carbon trim, sport crono. Thought it would be easier.
