I finally got an allocation. The dealer says no PTS, but may be a chance. Does anyone have any information if that may be a possibility? Any information at all would be great. And if not what stock color will hold its value the best? Thanks everyone really looking forward to this RS.

Congrats!!!

Absolutely positively no PTS. Straight from the horses mouth at PCNA to me very recently.

If holding value is what you want purple seems to be the odds on favorite. Followed by orange. White and silver are less desirable.

But I say get what your heart tells you to and to hell with resale values!

white and silver less desirable ??

lava was the launch color....I personally hate it....I just bought a gt silver, I owned a 997 turbo in that color and love it....u/v is awesome , its just a non metallic color and shows every fine line scratch .....white....well, everything I have is white....lol....but i'm adding some color to my life.

Buy the color you love. Don't worry about resale. It's an RS.

If everyone liked the same color they wouldn't offer them in different colors.

PTS is a def NO!
IMO, you really can't go wrong with any of the standard colors and they all look great. As far as what's going to hold its value my opinion:

- UV
- Lava
- White
- GT Silver

My teeny bit of advice is to get a color you like and one that makes you happy. That's more important than the marginal gains you may make with one color or another.
Good luck and congratulations.

mooty

congrats
you will love this car, it's really good. i think i bought another one.
PTS nope
get the color you want.
chasing PTS is dumb unless it is YOUR color.

Waxer

Actually, UV and LO are optional colors.

White and Silver are standard.

I didn't realize the gt silver was the bottom of the barrel

mooty

bottom of barrel?
that means lowest production.
you will have the move desirable color in a decade

i say silver is fine.

0-60 freak

thanks mooty, just reading peoples take on Gt silver was depressing me, I don't want to get on the threads that talk about cars being sold a msrp soon, as I just paid a 30k premium...lol....so I trying to find something positive

I'm frankly surprised they keep trickling out some allocations. It's cool that they do, but still, surprised given all the hoopla.

i owned a 997 turbo in gt silver and loved it but UV may be what i go for. 0-60 freak you wont think of the premium once you hit an apex ok.. cheers

Just remember what might be fun today, you may not care for in 5, 10, 25 years from now. If it's a "forever" car, get what YOU like. White ALWAYS will hold it's value, so will Silver. They probably wont be as volatile as UV and LO, lower ceiling in resale, but also might not be as low of a floor if in 20 years people are saying, what the hell were they thinking back in the 2010's! Afterall, there's a reason Porsche didn't offer Aubergine in the 80-2000's. I guarantee you, if they sold a lot of them in the 70's, they'd have offered it in the 80's. So, get what you like and if resale is a big concern, remember this...It's an RS, you'll never have trouble selling it no matter what color it is but if you wanna play it safe, white and silver are always gonna be able to sell.

Haku

Quite right. A slip on my part. Should have written "available colors".

Haku

It's not. It was going to be my choice and is a stunner for sure. I switched to lava only because I saw sgroers car as well as always having had silver P cars it was time for a change.

ALL the available colors look good on this car.

Btw, I think there's a lot of hype over PTS. IMO, it's there more for "exclusivity" than for the color being aesthetically pleasing. Some of the PTS colors I've seen have been positively yuk!
