Checked pfaff website right away, white one was put on website within 4 hours.
The white one has 15k kms, blue is 30k kms. It comes with ceramic brake, carbon fiber seat, painted air vent, painted center and much more options.
Then I decided to check both next day first thing in the morning.
At last, I took the white one.
Why was the one with half the mileage priced the same? Mistake?

That’s what I’m thinking.

Pfaff got the car for less than a week. Used few days to take off wrap. Paint looks very clean and smooth.

The blue car is PTS which adds $8-10k to the price if not more given rarity... while I can't say the pricing strategy makes sense it is not surprising, IMO hard to get more than $150k for a .1 GT3 so Pfaff is being realistic on the bottomline for both cars.

White car sounds nice but Mexico Blue is pretty damn special too... can't go wrong either way.

They told me blue one is very rare in color.
To me, I like low mileage and more options.

Quick update, was at Starbucks drive-thru last nite, while waiting car was idle.
Suddenly, it died. Restart with 4 to 5 cranks. Then died again. LOL
And I had a hard time to start it again.
Tried twice, started but check engine light was on...... With a bit rough idle which stays at 1000, normally around 800.
I didn't drive hard to get home but I still can feel power loose.
Once got home, plugged charger right away and found the low battery.
Did some research, stall, battery, alternator, thermostat, crankshaft sensor, o2 sensor and etc. So many things come out.lol
Texted my guy at Pfaff, he answered me right away, great service. I know shouldn't text him on Sat around 10:30 PM, but just picked the car afternoon and this happened, plz forgive me.
He offered me to bring the car back on Monday they will go through from the top to the bottom and make sure everything is right.
At this moment, thumbs up for both, my guy and Pfaff.
I'm going to the garage now and check how it was charged over nite.
Will update right after that.

Yikes, sorry to hear. Do you know if your car has had the engine replaced? Assume you're aware of the issues with the .1 GT3 engine... the latest G model engines have been fine so I wouldn't worry too much if yours has the latest. Hopefully it is just something minor but that is odd as they usually do the CPO warranty work right before you pick it up so surprised if something was missed.

Let us know how it turns out...

Took the car out of the garage for about 5 mins slow drive. Good news is check engine light gone. The bad news is the transmission didn't know how to shift for about 3 mins, it happened right after check engine light was gone.
Feels like I'm learning how to drive a manual but dunno when to release the clutch while gives more gas. This didn't last long, 3 to 4 mins max.
But, now the car feels like in lap mode. I could feel the engine has enough power but couldn't transfer to the ground.
Does anyone have idea?

Sorry not sure how the coding works but the VIN itself won't matter if your engine was replaced. Either way sounds like you need to get it fixed by Pfaff including some answers on what the problem(s) is... they should has also disclosed if the engine was replaced but not sure if it is required, if I were you I'd ask.

Once a battery dies or is near dead, it's never the same. I would ask for a new battery then see if issues go away

Update.
Was at drive-thru again. After long idling, when the car tries to shift from first gear to 2nd, it dies. Could be restarted without any problem just dies when shift gear.
Parked the car over 15mins, restarted, it was back normal.
Will send back to Pfaff tomorrow morning and let them check.

Have you thought of avoiding the drive-thru :-) Good luck with the fix.
