Default Look what I found in my car!

Before my car shipped to me, I asked the PO for a list of what was in it to make sure the items were all still there when it arrived. He replied with bra, original chips, tape deck and manuals but didn’t mention this stuff. I looked in the left cubby hole when I got the car but didn’t look in the right side until this weekend and got a nice surprise. Everything looks unused- sunroof strap, compressor, tool kit, and the thinnest plastic gloves I’ve ever seen. There’s something like 12 pair for the Porsche owner who doesn’t like to get his/her hands dirty. I don’t know what those of us with more than 3 fingers do with them. Well I got a kick out of it anyway, and thought some of you would.

That's worth good money, right there, that is! Keep it, then disclose it when(if) you sell your car. Ask a premium price, because stuff like that is priceless.

Is that a white leather interior? I like.

Nice for a concourse person, that spare tire compressor can fetch a pretty penny on eBay. I sold a spare i had for $150 about a year ago.

Thats a linen interior, and I don't really think having a car with the original tool kit/compressor really raises the value of the car; it is however a good bunch of things to have for minor roadside repairs.

Wow -- those things are pristine! I'd bet some 911 concourse guy would pay real good money for the air compressor. Personally, I'd remove the air compressor and replace it with more modern emergency kit (something with a jump starter and a flashlight as well as an air compressor).

(He he,) I though someone would like that. The black floor mat (hatch mat?) is aftermarket. It took me a long time to find this car- the exact interior I was after. I agree the goodies probably don't add more than a few hundred $ to the value, but they're worth more than that to me because they're original. Here are a couple more interior shots.
