Default PTS Meritime Blue Metallic, w/ 10.8k miles, MSRP $120k w/ ask ~$105k

I am no fan of this dealership, but here's an interesting car at a not-unreasonable price, especially coming from a dealer: https://www.porschetysonscorner.com/...-17807453.html

PTS Meritime Blue Metallic, with 10,800 miles, original MSRP $120k with an ask of $105k. Strangely, it does not appear to be CPO. PCCBs and 18-way seats, so no LWBS. Also, hideous illuminated door-sill inscription "GT4 Brian." Really?

Would they drop the price by the cost of my legal name change?

It's Maritime Blu (38B), and it's not a metallic.

LOL. I saw the photo before I read the post and was thinking what kind of idiot gets that door sill! Blue is my favorite color, but not that blue.

Maybe a bad DME scan prevents CPO?
Price is OK, at least for a starting point.
Nice looking car. Just tell them they misspelled 'Brain'. LOL

Dealers around me seem to be CPO happy and want to CPO everything they can. So if not CPO'd, there's probably something behind...might be DME or tires or something else? Then again, could also be dealership decision, but I would certainly ask more questions if I were buying.

Didn't look correct to me, either, but I copied and pasted what the dealer wrote.

Total jump to conclusions here...but PTS Maritime Blue (awesome color) is an enthusiast choice, you'd think the owner would be on RL. If it was not mentioned or tried to be sold here, maybe they were trying to just offload it on the dealer (i.e. there's a story with the car).

The owner is on here, here’s his delivery thread.

https://rennlist.com/forums/gt4/9171...delivered.html


and his for sale thread


https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-marketplace/1058645-rare-pts-gt4.html

looks like it was sold in April as a CPO, now the 2nd owner traded it back to Tyson’s and there must be a story for them not to CPO it again

Price doesn't appear to be the main point but the lack of CPO does !!

Price is always part of the conversation. If it wasn't GT4's that are currently up for sale wouldn't be sitting on average near 80 days before they change hands. Some of the 165 that are currently on the market have already seen another trip around the sun while still sitting at the same initial sale price. I think there are a lot of folks in denial about the value at which they will actually change hands and not just be another perpetual listing.

Then call the dealership instead of speculating.

And your point is? Oh ya, you are you’re in the market, but not really...
