As Jim says, I am selling this car for a friend of mine. It is probably one of the most beautiful GTSs I have ever seen and the pictures do not do the paint justice. It is literally in perfect car inside and out and needs absolutely nothing.

Nicole,
yes - great looking exterior color - but those interior colors just don't match the exterior - what were they thinking!
If this car was a grey (even all black interior) I'm certain it would go for more $
Sad color combo choice... I hate those factory rear CD-changer (or phone) caddys anyway (why this location - awkward to reach from front & back and inside/outside - "B-Team" work again?) it looks worse with this color combo contrasting it against the black rear quarters - Ugg!
Still maybe someone will love this color combo... It does look to be in great condition and I've never seen a pearl white car before - but that pearl yellow/champagne was awesome @ sharktoberfest.

I have to respectfully disagree with you on this one. I think these colors work really well together and because the exterior has more of a yellow/gold tint and the interior colors coordinate very nicely. In fact because of the exterior color grey wouldn't look right....... in my opinion of course.I also totally disagree with the statement that the color will hurt the price, it absolutely will NOT hurt the price.

WOW!
I'm going with Chuck on this one. I love the cashmere interior and it fits nicely with the $15k (!!) exterior paint. (It also happens to look good with an Amazon Green Metallic exterior
)

Chuck,
Yeah I know... takes all sorts and YMMV as Ed would say... still doesn't do it for me - but I hope there are enough out there chomping at the bit for it so it sells well...
I really like that GTS are selling for more so I'd like to see this one go for a good price too...
Time will tell of course - and with eBay - likely just a little bit of time!
I am partial to many colors other than black/black - but I do think Porsche built some spectacularly ugly combinations over the years - true many of them were custom ordered of course - but some factory spec built combinations were fairly wierd too... Drove several nice condition cars during my hunt about 8-9 years ago and passed on 3 I would otherwise have bought only due to the color combinations - I know I couln't have lived with them in the long run...
Obviously it takes all sorts since Porsche still sold all of these new...
Alan
PS sorry I'm just having on of those 'opinionated days' no offence intended - it does look like a nicely kept low miles car, and if I was buying who better to buy from (even if indirectly)!

Oh, I could get used to the interior color I wasn't too fond of white paint when I went looking for a 928, but when I found what was the best kept 928 I had seen in 6 months of looking, it was white. I bought it. The car has since earned all of my admiriation for the things it has done with nary a mechanical complaint. It could have been purple and I would still cherish it. So, the color combination of this GTS may not be what everyone would ask for, but well-kept car trumps color by a wide margin for me because I plan on driving it and driving it rather hard a whole lot more than looking at it.
Reagrdless, the pearl paint on this car is stunning. The interior color looks very rich and does not bother me. Are there other interior colors that would looks better? Sure. All matching color including leather dash would be nice.
