Quick background:
Recently sold the mrs. 2012 CS since she stopped driving it and I wanted something faster since I would be driving it more. The CS was WHITE.

Car 1: White w/ 20kmi CPO until 7/29/2018 2 owners

Car 2: Black w/ 15kmi warranty until 11/28/2016 2 owners (carfax shows only 1 owner).

Both are the exact same price, but black has a MSRP of $16k over the white (PCCB & CARBONFIBER). Love the options, but black isn't my first choice due the upkeep to keep black clean.

White has the CPO warranty though so I would be more inclined to keep it longer... White is my first choice, but it would look pretty much identical to the CS I already had...

So I'll leave it up to you guys, which CTT would you pick and why? My first priority would be resale value since I can leave w/ both colors and both have my MUST HAVE OPTIONS, so if you were to pick based strictly on pricing which one would be worth more?

 

Go for the black. I told myself 10 black rides ago that I would never buy a black vehicle again. I also said if I ever buy another CTT it won't be a black one. Guess what I got one in black. Besides that I like the options the black one has over the white.

They won't CPO the black one?

 

Both cars are being sold by a private party. The white one was purchased CPO already so it would transfer. Black one was purchased from another individual and was never CPO. CPO would cost $3500 or so but if I CPO I would also have to pay sales tax once I get the car since it's being sold from a dealer and than it wouldn't be financial wise anymore.

 

I see.... I still like the options on the black one over the white. But I guess it would depend on how important the CPO is to you. Not like the white one is not any good.
This is what I would sleep on myself:
CPO
Another white one ( I usually squeeze in a different color ride between the black ones)
Are the extra options worth it on the black one being non CPO
Both are still under warranty
Black is bad ***. But I have an awesome detailer and I just maintain till it gets bad.
Probably other things and Id get no sleep deciding.

Even without sleeping on it.
Based on pricing/options I'd go for the Black one.

 

You had me at PCCB!

 

Spoke to my local p dealer SA and he also said based solely on price he would do the black due to the pccb. I guess an additional 15 months or so of warranty isn't that big of a deal

 

I have a black one and love the look! And yes I am always cleaning it but it looks hot. And to get the PCCB's- wow! But the white one can look great if you can black other things out. I just read the black- it is freakin loaded! Sports package, blacked out lights, PDCC, PTV, Carbon Fiber, Unreal.

 

Weird thing is that both have premium package but the black one got charged for adaptive cruise while the white got it free with the prem package. Black one opted not to get sport pack but ordered everything in the sport pack except the sport steering wheel. Ended up costing a few grand just so it could have multi function wheel.

Anyone want to guess what these cars are worth?

 

Tough call!!
I have to admit, the black CTT is truly an AMAZING build!
If it were me, i would have to drive both to see if one chooses you.
WOW - what a tough decision.

FWIW: I had a black CTT all ready to go and changed my mind at the last minute....mainly due to the added upkeep/detailing.
Even though i enjoy detailing....black is a lot of work!
Luckily for me, the dealer had a similarly equipped Meteor Grey CTT.

I find your White CTT spec'd out pretty darn nice too!
I personally like the option of the CPO and certification/history that goes along with that providing assurance through 2018.
Ironically, when i build a new CTT on Porsche's web, it looks very close to the one your considering with the exception of my added roof rails and trailer hitch.

As you're likely aware, make sure you are comfortable with the interior since you will spend a lot of time in it.
Does one catch your eye better? As for the exterior, check to see if there is any imperfections in either paint and trim panels.

You mentioned that you're hesitant to go white, mainly since your current CS is white.
While the color is the same, the CTT is on a different level (feel and looks) with added details such as the quad LED daytime running lights.
Additionally, the black gloss trim and black Sport Edition wheels will contrast the white perfectly!

Let us know how it goes. Excited to hear what you end up going with.

 

Both cars are on the opposite side of the country from me so I won't be seeing them in person. I don't mind and have purchased the majority of my cars this way without a major issue yet.

I've had a basalt black c4s in the past and a jet black turbo a few years ago so I'm pretty aware of the time it takes to keep them clean. All of my cars in the past 3 years therefore have been white but the white turbo and my past CS will literally look identical exterior and interior other than the wheels.

Both sellers have agreed to get them inspected so I guess ill just wait to see what happens and go from there.

I'll defiantly keep everyone updated once the money been sent followed with pics once delivered

 

Read my post on PDCC and PTV back to back test. Like two different cars. Only the black one will do.

 

The way i read it, they both have those options.
The only significant equipment difference is the PCCB (ceramic brakes) and the carbon interior.

 

Yes I think you are right but I still like Black better

 

I’d go with the black.

 

$105,000?

I'd go with black simply because I don't care for white vehicles, but I would be concerned about the PCCB replacement rotors in a few years.
