i had deposit on this car months before it came in. actually went to Germany with Chris the sales guy for the CGT experence. felt bad i didn't take it at the end because i felt in love with the Ascot interior.

call & ask Chris Huck for it if u're seriously considering it. super cool and true car guy. my price was 417k back then guess the 399k is really good for a brand new one with no miles now.

 

Arling, did you pass on it because it didn't have the Ascot ? The one on the listing shows a black interior. Is it the same car ?

I prefer Ascot over Black, but not by enough to matter....

 

that was the main reason. i put the deposit down 4 months before it was built. the VIN ends 1393 i remember clearly. i was worry about the wear on Ascot but knowing my local dealer had one coming i made the switch. call chris, he'll tell u the story, and the hot chick @ first dinner in Leipzig.

 

I do not have any picts of the RS6 that are in the digital form I need to scan them and get them on the computer. I will send Picts and adoption papers at the same time.

 

$399k for brand new is an incredible price right now. Used 05 with low miles you are looking 385-400k

 

Agree with the 399 being a good buy. I know dealers who won't sell cars they've had sitting for that. Supply is gradually thinning out. FWIW -- at 2k and counting the car is just outstanding. I can see what it always beats its peers -- Zonda, SLR, Enzo in those vaulted head to head tests. As if any of these cars is actually a disappontment.

 

There are over 50 CGT's for sale in Autotrader. Many new and others with very low mileage. There are plenty to go around. My view is we will see this trend continue for some time.

 

nberry is right -- I stand corrected. I think we are seeing the last wave on new CGTS now. So a couple more months of great buys with maybe even a lower bottom.

However, I do think that once we get a few years out this car will recover and hold value. Now that I've got over 2k on it, I just don't think you are going to get this kind of package from Porsche for a long long time. I do think this will be their f40

 

I agree absolutely....thats why I would like to find a nice one to keep for a long, long time...getting closer !

 

Keeping it will be wise. The value will plummet. Have a look.

I believe long term value will improve after the 06 drop. There will not be another P-car like this one. Worth every lost penny. And FWIW -- so much easier to drive everyday then people think. Of Porsche came out with a nose lift you could retrofit I bet car would gain in value that day. As it is -- I rarely have trouble with mine on the street.

 

I agree with your response. However the price stabilization will occur after a rather steep decline. Either way the car will be under water value wise for several years if not forever.

BTW. what the CGT REALLY lacked was a sequential transmission. Had Porsche been patient and not profit greedy, they would have equipped the car with their version of F1 and the value would not have tanked as it did.

 

You really think so? My belief is the stick is easy to drive, but the first batch wasn't so it got stuck with that "hard to drive" label. Honestly, the clutch is a non-issue. I wish I had had the chance to drive one of the first ones. It must have been very different. I would hate an F1 in this car -- though I love it in the 430.

 

in the resale point of view that might be true for sure if Porsche did that the car would do better. however, i'm glad they didn't do it. stone age or not i much prefer the 6speed & glad to see the car fall into the hands who can drive it. leave the F1 to Ferrari.

 

FYI, there is a black car at Circle Porsche in Long Beach that's been sitting for some time
