Talk about limited market

Just got newsletter from Suncoast featuring clear side markers for the 918. Don't crash their site ordering yours!

Ha!
I was surprised to hear from my Dallas sales guy that they have sold 18 and Fort Worth has sold 3.
More than I thought for just these 2 Texas dealers, and I would be surprised if Plano (close to Dallas's volume) hasn't sold a handfull but haven't asked.

Wellllll, I did think for a brief moment to just sell the house.....

Ha! Who needs a house, right? It is one gorgeous car. I would be afraid to drive it anywhere.

SuncoastParts has a reputation beyond repute

Looks like Jerry Seinfeld just received his 918, and it needs them. Don't you think?

Call us Jerry, we will hook you up! HAHA

At $659 dollars I may start by purchasing these and work my way towards the car.

It is a beauty and if he can afford it (with or without clear side markers - I hope he buys them from SunCoast - I am just about $800,000 short) god bless him.

I can't imagine owning this. I would be scared to drive it, scared to park it, scared to give it to a valet, scared to take my eyes off it. I have no such concerns with the side markers

That is a ridiculous price for side markers, but I guess if you can afford the car.....

Ok they are expensive, but I don't think you need insurance on the side markers

It's all relative. A lot of people think the same thing dreaming about owning a 911 too ....

This was Geico's quote for me (6 month premium):

Your current premium is $1,009.90. If you complete the change, your new premium would be $9,699.60. The actual premium may differ from the quoted premium based on the vehicle identification number (VIN) and effective date of the change.

Please note that we have not included Mechanical Breakdown Insurance in this quote because the 2014 Porsche 918 does not qualify due to the value of this vehicle.

Note it doesn't include MBI insurance.

This is a quote for 911 insurance.? I have Geico and for my car and my wife's Cayenne it's $1200 annually. Did you destroy all your previous cars or have a parking lot mishap that included 25 other cars.?
