Definitely an appealing car. I would certainly consider one over a new M3 or M5.

White is really a clean color on these, but just me personally? I’d hold our for something with a bit more pop.

Love it

Personally, I'm partial to this Mexico Blue one w/ Pepita inserts. If I had the $$$ this is the one I'd go after:

They look really good in Carmine Red too... and I'm normally NOT a red (or black wheel) person:

Lol at a 3 year old car with 1700 miles being described as a “two owner car.” So many of these things are going to get sold more often than they are driven.

Mexico blue is amazing but it’s hard to justify that price. The carmine red one is a little more plausible.

Funny, I thought the Mexico one was the better deal of the two. 5% upcharge for light weight buckets, PCCB, custom interior, more desireable color, etc. I think that one has the rarity to hold its value better.

I would worry a little about the GT3T cars holding their value at these levels if/when a 992 version is released. There is some history of what happened to 911R values when the Touring cars came out.

And I take back my comment from earlier about speedsters. They've gone up in value $100k since last time I looked at them... holy smokes. 6 months ago they were in the same range as GT3T cars (or at least that's how I remember it), now they're pushing $400k

I suppose that's right. The PCCB are a net negative for me; I'd swap the rotors for iron units as soon as I got it home. But they probably will be important to Porsche anoraks in the future, and the Mexico blue is a much more distinctive color than white.

Speaking of these, here's one in Chalk. A little more interesting than typical white, and no red gauges.

Curious why you don't like the PCCBs? Is it just the cost, or is it the initial grabiness as well?

I drove my first car with a set of ceramics yesterday. It was a 2013 Cayenne Turbo with almost every option checked. It was ridiculously fast and stopped amazingly for how heavy it was, almost comical. You felt the weight in every movement it made, and I didn't like it overall, but it was neat to try.

The initial bite on the brakes made it really hard to modulate. I wasn't sure if that was a ceramic trait, or a 6000lb Porsche SUV trait.

I like that Mexico blue combo Edit: and the chalk one...

Edit2: that chalk one is super nice config. What is the deal with not for sale, euro delivery they put that on the sticker?
