Nice color combo! I had a non-turbo close to that. Congrats.

Looks good. My 2002 Boxster is that color and has the neutral grey interior. I like.

Congrats & welcome! Looks like the interior has held up very well. My Cayenne is Lapis over black. Love the Lapis color, especially on a sunny day.

Yowzer! I am "Lapis with envy"...


Was looking for something like that combo when I was shopping.


Though I'm now attached enough to my Seal Grey that I would never trade it.


Is it a manual?

Niiice! I have always loved blue/grey combos. A few years ago I had a bmw 135i msport in that sort of combo, loved it!

Congrats!

I looked at this right before buying mine a few weeks ago. Clean car and great color combo. Good luck!

Nice looking car! Out of curiosity, what are the minor issues that you're planning to address?

Tires were dry rotted. Battery was weak. Radio died. Left radiator has a small leak. Ignition switch needs to be replace. And one of the idler pulleys is making noise.

Those all sound like the deferred maintenance issues the previous owner used as their reason to get rid of the car.

When I got my '02 in 2014, it was visually perfect. Took me ~$2000 + new plugs and coils to get it as mechanically sound as its aesthetics.
