Someone Discarded a $26K Profit for This Distinctive Porsche | Carscoops

      Rather than opting for a conventional choice, the original owner of this 911 Turbo S selected a distinctive option, but they won’t sell it for a low price.

      This 911 Turbo S is coated in Sepia Brown, a rare Paint to Sample color.

      With a well-equipped configuration, the car boasts an MSRP of $279K, and bidding reached $305K.

      Despite the high bid, the sale did not complete due to the seller’s reserve price.

      When considering car colors, brown is rarely the first option that comes to mind. However, not all browns are the same. A closer look at this one might lead you to think, “That’s actually quite appealing!”

      Typically, car buyers lean toward silver, black, red, or white, which are the conventional, predictable colors that can be as exciting as a dental appointment. Yet, sometimes taking a chance can have its rewards.

      Interestingly, the seller of this 2025 Sepia Brown 911 Turbo S received a bid that was $26,000 over the MSRP. The German sports car was recently listed on Bring a Trailer, with only 142 miles (228 km) on the odometer. We commend the original owner for opting for a unique choice, as Sepia Brown is a Paint to Sample color that reveals a vibrant orange tone when exposed to sunlight.

      The Porsche also features the Heritage Design Package, with its interior adorned in black leather, complemented by the striking Pepita cloth inserts on the seats and door panels. While a standard 911 Turbo S starts at an MSRP of $214,140, this model is priced at a notable $279,020—an amount that certainly catches attention.

      Their decision seems to have been justified, as the car garnered numerous bids, indicating a robust interest in 911 Turbo S models that stand out from the crowd. The highest bid reached $305,500, yet it didn’t meet the seller’s undisclosed reserve.

      It’s likely that the seller will relist the car for auction to achieve a better outcome, or they might change strategies and attempt to sell it privately. If it were us, we would probably have taken the $26,000 profit without hesitation.

      Nevertheless, unless a wealthy, long-lost relative decides to bequeath us their fortune, we can’t envision spending $300k on a car, so we struggle to understand the mindset of those who do.
