    @Tarek307 I have ability to purchase this car, but seller is asking 230 range. I have coveted a yellow GTS, and I think seller is trying to justify price based on miles, interior condition, paint condition, and the fact it won an award in 2020. It had last engine out service in 2021 and only ~500 miles put on after that. All service records, history, tool kits, etc etc.

    I think this could be the car i'm looking for, however price still seems a little steep. Would love to get your thoughts or others who are expert on this example.

    That car has been for sale for going on 3 years. Originally at Miller Motors for $299k as I recall.

    US spec manual GTS is exceedingly rare. 230 is in the right ballpark.

    Yellow is a love it or hate it.

    Miles are low but not absurdly so.

    Looks to be in great shape and has all of its accoutrements.

    Yes, I’ve been emailing the seller for 3 years about it. Miller is local to me but car is stored on LI now.

    Thanks for input. Felt it may be a little high but maybe not.

    Price is on the mark if not low. The heated days of 2021/22 definitely have cooled, but I would jump on that at $230 if you want a nice car, checks the boxes and is ready to be enjoyed. When will you find another!?!… heck, you are saving $69k! Buy it!

    Sure it is, Rob. That why it's been sitting for going on 3 years. Hasn't been at $299 since it left Miller. ;)

    Owner wasn't a motivated seller, in fact the price was $349k at the start of the listing. I talked to the consignment lister and they basically said owner didn't want to sell, but if a number came along that he couldn't refuse he'd take it. I don't know if Luxsport now owns the car, but they are now transitioning spaces so they are motivated to clear their inventory.

    Anyway I just lost a BaT auction for a 458 Spider so I will probably pick this one off and scratch the itch I've had for 20 years!

    Any reason you are after this particular GTS? Love yellow?


    How about a RoW spec blue GTS with rare blu scuro carbon seats and 20k miles?

    Unless U.S Spec and Yellow are must-have conditions, you’ll be missing out quite a bit passing up on this rare blu GTS.

    I have 4 to choose from: TDF, Carbonio, Rosso Corsa (3 Gated GTS) and Argento (Maybe Silverstone??) (f1 GTB). I can solve the itch :)

    Pics soon…. I have been dealing with “while we are in there stuff” and F1 Pump still not returned from rebuilder. I should have bought one from Jon when offered to me, but was trying to be a little frugal and less spare parts. I am no Ken C!!!
