Default "New" 17 GTS PTS Birch Green

Good morning all

Came to terms last night on a 17 PTS GTS to be my new DD. I have new in quotations as I'm the second owner with the first owner owing it for 170 miles, 2 days in total!

He traded it back on a 17 Cab and I'm guessing the very bright color had much to do with the decision!

The guys at Napleton ( Paul and Eric) were terrific to deal with and other than a bummer that the front license plate frame has been installed previously I'm thrilled to put this "boring" P car to duty.

Two quick pics right now and the balance when I take delivery Monday.

The color is quite interesting.

Hope you update pictures with the car outside in natural sunlight.

What % off the sticker did the dealer sell the car? Wondering if the previous owner lost out.

Congrats on the car. My bet is that will be wrapped in a matte color in no time.

PDK which I likely would have passed on if I was ordering but after driving it have zero regrets that it's not an MT car especially as it will be my DD

Nope bright colors have never been an issue for me but I get that it's not one for most

Very nice. The color isn't for me -- I went with boring Agate -- but congrats..

Curious why someone would go through all the trouble of PTS and then bail on it. Was the car ordered by a dealer or the previous owner?

I think the key with that color is black accents and that car does it right. Anything interesting in the interior spec? Congrats!
