Re: Sale of Carrera GT
Hey, can anyone lend me 300.000 Euro ? That's the lowest price I have seen on mobile.de for a virtually brand new Carrera GT. Apparently someone ran out of money and consequently needs to cash in his GT very fast.
I'm not sure whether this is a serious offer, but hey if you're located in the US - it's a real "bargain"!
Hopefully the prices of these beauties will even drop further in the next years. Some day I might be able to afford one.

It seems to be a trait of many people in power. Perhaps it is psychological and they think they are so powerful that they are immune to accidents.
Really, it is utter stupidity. The famous Princess Diana accident was the same thing - of the four S500 occupants, the only survivor was the front passenger, the only one wearing a seatbelt.
I think it has more to do with being chaufered(sp?) or driven than power. I'm not what you consider a powerful person in business or society, but I never wear seatbelts in a taxi. Stupid? Yes. Strange that I don't, considering I always wear a seatbelt in any other driving situation. Do you put on a seatbelt when you're in a taxi? I bet most people don't.

Yes, I do put seatbelts on when I ride in a cab/limo/minivan. Why shouldn't I?
I have an uneasy feeling when I ride in buses (like a rent-a-car airport bus) which do not offer belts and often drive like maniacs.

Thanks for the update. Too bad it wasn't what you though it would be. Seems like you're not alone...
I didn't check it today, but yesterday there were 19 (nineteen!) CGTs for sale on www.autoscout24.de ! Most of them available immediately. There's also one for sale in Switzerland (at sticker) on www.autoclick.ch
Greetings,

PS: Larry, glad to know you managed to sell yours, despite the 80k loss.

Agree w/you...most people don't use seatbelts in taxi/limo. I do, but I've found many cabs/limos in NYC for ex. lack functioning seatbelts.
Gates is reputed to be classic high IQ, absent-minded type, so I don't think seatbelts are what he focuses on when getting into a rent-a-limo. Until 6-7 yrs ago or so, Gates used to fly commercial until his security people finally conviced him he's too high-profile to be flying commercial....draw your own conclusions....
But didn't Larry almost kill himself sailing a few years back?....gotta place your own risk/reward bets...to each his own....

Sorry, but I'd say ASS is a ridiculous dealership. They also have four Enzos "for sale"!
Mobile.de has 10 CGTs vs. even 16 Enzos for sale - now what does THAT mean?
Larry, sad to hear about your sale and the accompanied loss. Still I believe Porsche will adapt the clutch system in the future once they figure how sales numbers decrease - I'd actually have waited and kept the car!
By the way, 500 - 431 is 69 to me, isn't it? Maybe it makes you feel slightly better!
Re: Sale of Carrera GT
I've read a few comments from other people who own or have driven a CGT and their reports differ from Larry's, Ben's & Nick's experiences.
PCCC is new technology and I now wonder if the difficulty those users had with the clutch were a result of a defective unit. Perhaps it was a manufacturing issue but the clutch was still within Porsche's allowable tolerance range.
Any thoughts?

Possible but I doubt it. The only thing I don't understand is why the people who claimed to have had those issues with their CGTs didn't contact Porsche about it???
No offense taken but I can't hide the feeling that these people actually didn't like the Carrera GT too much for other reasons too or it just wasn't whatever they expected.
This is only human, I don't have problems with that.
