I hope you get $139 or close to it. I wouldn't base my retirement plans on it, but I'd love for GT4 demand to support that price.

My local dealer (Hennessy) seems to still have the PTS Olympic Blue LWB car with <200 miles and an ask of $129k. But I'll grant you, Voodoo is prettier than Olympic.

Thanks!

We will see. I'm asking about the same amount over as Hennessey's asking for their Olympic (sans prepaid annual services and winters, FWIW).

I believe the slightly-less-optioned Voodoo Blue example in Scottsdale was asking $145k and got pretty darn near close to it just a couple of months ago.

That being said, I'll entertain any serious offer.

I feel bad for the BaT guy... he got less than trade in value.

With other PTS cars listed near 130k I'd say this is priced well. It's a high option car with a few extras.

Considering RS and GT3 cars are getting double this premium, I think it will sell. Not to mention, PTS is nearly 13k now for GT cars.

GLWS!


Note: I do have some bias- as being an owner of one of the 4/5 Voodoo GT4 cars in North America. I believe this car is one of two with yellow stitching/lwb/pccb... mine being the other.

I guess if the buyer has the scratch for 25k over he can drive it in the snow...

The Dunlops can be pretty squirrelly under 50*F in my experience. I'd rather have the appropriate tires for the temperature than risk much more than that without them.

I have the Dunlop's and generally agree.

But why buy a winter/snow tire if you are just worried about temps? Unless you want the flexibility to drive in the snow/ice.

I live in Colorado and have winter/snow tires for our DD's...

Anyway, glws

wow, what a spec. love the buckets, yellow stitch and CCB's. having seen Voodoo in the flesh on an RS, this must be amazing. Voodoo reigns supreme among the Porsche blues. GLWS. I have to imagine such a great spec with get someone to pay a premium for this car - it's rare and life is short

I agree. I am generally that way on a special Porsche (special to me, I mean.) I don't quibble and will even overpay (according to market pricing) to get exactly what I want. My last Turbo was that way -- I wanted a Mezger Turbo (997.1) in GT Silver/Black, full leather, no sunroof, under 20k miles, stock, no stories. Sunroof-delete was the killer spec as far as hard to find.

When it finally turned up (ironically 12 miles from my home, even though I was conducting a nationwide search) the seller was about $7k higher than market would suggest it should be priced. I think I got him down $1000 and then he was through dropping. I pulled out my checkbook. Losing the car would have hurt a lot more than paying a little more. Or put another way: losing the Turbo would have left a big, visible hole in my garage that I would think about every day till I found another with that spec, maybe several more months. But losing the $6000 was an abstract -- it didn't actually change a single thing about my life. And the good news was, 2 years and 8000 miles later when I sold it I got the same amount for it.

Sooooo... if I were looking for a GT4 in Voodoo, or just in any vibrant blue PTS, and this one had the spec I wanted, and there was exactly one for sale at that time in the US, I wouldn't think twice about overpaying. Because if I settled for Sapphire Blue Metallic instead, every time I looked at it I'd feel the loss. But the money... that's just a number somewhere. Forgotten days later.

Irish Green would have done it for me, but none came up for sale while I was looking and I got impatient.
