I think the car will sell, just not quickly. It is a very nice car. It will take a unique buyer...who really likes the color green. Heck, we have a few Forum members here who are very passionate about green.
Worse case, a potential buyer can get a few more thousand off, and use that for a good paint job.

Wow.... I'm a bit speechless. I just got finished reading this thread and I must say that this really sucks for the dealership.
1st. I love green, but that green is pretty horrible. Like someone earlier said, it has no depth.
2nd. The options are such a weird combo, that I'd be surprised if anyone bought it.
3rd. That poor dealership. I wonder if we'll ever find out who ordered that car.

It would be a fitting color on a Lotus. Maybe if they added yellow stripes to the lower body with "PORSCHE" written in it, or a yellow racing stripe it would be more palatable.

Hey Chills and you were one of the guys (Grizzly the other) who I thought might like the color!
Don't worry about the Porsche Dealership...they sold this car once already...it has 4,600 miles on it! This is now a used car.

I liked the pics that were first posted, I thought the color was original and I liked the deep green. But after seeing the pics that eslai posted I changed my mind. Those pics make the color look pretty poor. "no depth" is the first thing that comes to mind.
At least it was sold. I wonder why the current owner is getting rid of it.

I don't hate the color, but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice. I love green cars, but the darker the better (my Mach 1 being the notable exception, but that was the original color  )...and it has to be metallic.
Chills' car is a great green.

I'll give them 30k for it, put some yellow rally stripes on it.
