Nice! Same colour as my truck!


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

That's a hell of a garage, too. 


It was my first thought, even before the car itself !
Gone but not forgotten in chronological order: 2019 Volt, 2013 Volt, 2014 Spark EV, 2012 Volt and many others before...

Awesome garage and sweet car, too. I love Miami Blue... a Targa 4 GTS in stick, Miami Blue and the Sport Exhaust would be on my forever bucket list.

You can spec the silver Carrera S wheels on the GTS.

He must have seen this thread and interpreted it as a sign of intense interest...price increased from $105,000 to $115,000...COVID crazies!

Why settle for close?  :P

God that's nice, but yeah, I couldn't do the black wheels.

Also, I was pricing out GT3 Tourings yesterday... and trying to justify one for myself. Zero ability to justify, will not be acquiring, but jeez they're nice.

IMHO you've got to be really desperate for a car to pay over MSRP. Especially used, that's just nuts, unless it's a classic obviously.

Agree. So out of curiosity I went back to the configurator to build the exact model (code: PNJH4FS5).

MSRP: $111,970 + $3,000 (freight / PDI) = $114,970
Used 2021 (9,000km + CPO): $124,900

So basically an extra $10,000 to drive off with the car on the weekend.

Sold

No, I didn't buy it, just reporting that it was sold.

Listen, you can't be messing with us like that.  Between the COVID thread and the trucker thread, this thread is all we have to keep us focused on dreaming of sports cars.  Great power, great responsibility and all that.

I do wonder if the Porsche dealer will actually call me this year with a GTS allocation...technically I do have a $2500 deposit on one
