haven't looked here for sometime. Thanks for all the comments.

It's been a great car to drivve. Really love the sound of that sport exhaust.

Also just found out that there were only 32 that came to the US and 18 in Canada.

Beautiful Car....
 
I really like the white with white rims.

I really like them as well. I do have a problem with the white wheels. Very difficult to keep clean. Luckily I enjoy detailing the car. I probably put about 400 miles now since I've had it. Probably cleaned the wheels at least 6 times.

Have you done the hack so the exhaust is always in sport mode? It's easy if you haven't.

The first car that I was trying to make a deal on was located in your area. Bluegrass motorsports in Louiville. I backed out because the GM decided to keep the watch that comes with the car. They advertised the car for 49k brand new and had only 118 miles on it. The car originally listed for 73k.

No I haven't. The wife drives it here and there so I just use the switch to have the sport exhaust on when I drive it.

Sounds like you got a pretty sweet deal on it. Haven't dealt with Bluegrass much, always dealt with the now defunct Lexington store or the one in Cincinnati.

Yes these cars were being offered anywhere from 20-25k below their new price. As I stated I was originally after the RS60's when I saw these. At that time there were 4 of them and the asking price was anywhere from 49k to 78k. These cars came out when the economy was bad and probably the reason why they didn't sell. These models didn't have much publicity when they were introduced. With only 50 being delivered in North America I can only guess Porsche didn't want to spend the advestising money at such a low volume. I think there's still one available in Boston. It's still brand new.

I guess the brake dust really stands out because of the contrast with the white?
