My new to me Ghost was dropped off on Monday, this was one of the sickest specs I’ve ever seen that isn’t a black badge car. It was a special commission created by Rolls Royce own designers for their 2019 Pebble Beach display with around $120k in options. Matte/satin white factory paint with cobalt blue interior, white piano wood, blue starlight headliner (pretty cool touch, never seen it with different light color), bespoke audio system, etc. $437k sticker on this one which is the highest I’ve seen for a pre-2021 redesign Ghost without the black badge package. Only 7k miles on it and looks mint inside and out.
Loved the 458 but you just feel like such a boss driving this thing, just need to have a Rolls in the garage at all times. Last edited by dgoldenz; 10-09-2024 at 08:51 PM.. |

Looks great! Love what RR is doing these days. Proportions, rear-hinged doors, presence, powertrain, interior design and materials, it all works.

IMO these cars also have the best seat height/position of any car. The suspension is pure magic. |

stunning
driving a rolls is still on my automotive bucket list. does it feel big to drive? like it would be hard to maneuver or park? or does it kind of shrink around you once you get going ?

The older I get the more I just want to ride around in comfort and nothing beats a Rolls for that. Hard to describe the feeling of driving it until you do it yourself. |

Love the paint. The blue is a bit much, for myself, but still works. Congrats!
I'd run it up to Park City for a few days before the snow arrives. • you'll dump it by Christmas

Christmas is a little early, but everything is always for sale at the right price. If I found an epic spec black badge car to replace it I could be convinced… |

I could care less what anyone thinks it looks like, that has zero bearing on purchase decisions. IYKYK, and if you mistake a Ghost for a Chrysler you definitely don’t know lol. If you haven’t driven one you really should, it’s an awesome experience despite not having a 9k rpm screaming V8. In a perfect world I’d have both but I’m still too poor for that. |

Personally, I love the concept of a used Alpina would be awesome (but not so much out of warranty)

997 GTS have absolutely gone bezerk. Like to the point where I don't see value vs a comparable C2S and I am the world's biggest GTS fanboy.

I had a 997.2 4S before and there’s a noticeable difference in how the GTS drives and power delivery. Worth the premium IMO. Manuals have gone nuts but PDKs are still reasonable. I got a heavily optioned (134k sticker) PDK cab with 15k miles and Fidelity Platinum warranty for low 80s. Dealers are asking that for cars with 3x the miles

Thanks...
Never had to grow on me...It was love at first sight just trying to figure out if I should sell the gunmetal set of wheels and tires since I like the silver set up better or just keep them and swap them out once in awhile to change it up now and then.... |
