Why not on the blue CGT and color choice

I really like blue and am tempted on the blue CGT that was on ebay. Sounds like the guys is willing to deal and the car is still all wrapped up.

If only blue, why is it not brining even close MSRP. Seems like a one-off color that was not a funky color should do well or sell easily. Is blue a bad route? Seems like 2005 blacks can be had for $ 390s and as low as $ 380k. Anyone heard of deals on yellows below $ 400k for 2005s with basically delivery miles.

I am thinking yellow looks the coolest, but blue would be unique.

imo a pure car needs a pure color. blue is cool if u love it but also means u'll have to find a guy later loves blue in case u want to sell it. let's not forget the fact that ''the blue'' will cost u 15k more in retail to start the game. u better love it!

Sounds like $ 425k may be do able on the blue and I have a conference call scheduled at 6:00 with the owner and "agent" who listed the car on ebay. I really like the way this car looks in yellow though and I am not really a yellow car person. Something about the lines of this car that makes certain color really pop on it. Not sure blue pops on it, but it is unique. I will need to see it in person.

These pictures suck as far as quality goes. You would think the guy would have better pictures to sell a half million dollar car.

Hard to tell if the color works. It looks like midnight blue which was a nice Porsche color.

Looks good. If you have your eye on a yellow one wait for one. You dont want to buy this one and feel like you should have bought a different color. If you are really in love with this blue, go for it!

From the pics, it appears to be "Ocean Blue". I had a 993 with that color. If I could have found a TT with it............


Here's my 993 with Ocean Blue.

Doug,

Not sure how long you will keep this car but WHEN I buy mine it will be with me forever. Therefore I want a color that won't go out of style. I am sticking with Red, Silver, Black or White.

But if Blue turns your crank I say go for it!

Does this mean you are getting the Carrera GT over the S7?
