With an estimate of less than ~500 550 SEs imported into the US, full leather, US M030, 18 inch custom painted Carreras, 987 airbox, current asking prices from 15k to 28k USD (if you can find one), etc.,etc., I’d say that the 550SE is a pretty decent “gimmick”. In addition, IMHO it is just a beautiful car with the GT Metalic Silver and Cocoa color combination in conjunction with the Arctic Silver/Seal Gray wheels.

I realize that you and another forum member are considering selling your 550 SEs now, but outside of these two, I’ve only come across two or three others for sale since I started looking in late 2016.

Gimmick or not, the 550 SE is the most rare production 986 ever built.
