Default Malachite Green 987.2S

Came across this locally, looking for a car for the track. Unique color, not a big fan of green on cars, but this color looks good. Seems pretty well optioned.
Thoughts?

Wow, gorgeous car. Malachite green is one of my favorite colors. One of the only colors that looks good with a tan interior in my opinion

And the seller car lot can help with YOUR credit problems!

I'm sure the DME report is available....

I'd like to know the back story on how that car ended up with the seller.

My guess is a trade in. Previous owner even laminated the window sticker. The seller is actually a well known Acura dealer in town. I'm going to try and swing by this week take a look. Possibly get a ppi.

Ah, OK, I didn't get that far, assumed it was a no name lot advertising on CL.

Yeah, I bought my 987 Boxster S from a Buick dealer. It was a trade in too, sat on the floor in the middle of Michigan winter in a smallish town for about 3 months with no takers. I got it a few days before they were going to send it to auction, so they took a really nice price, probably the best deal I ever got on a car from a dealer in my life. You never know.

The Malachite IS pretty, never saw one like that before.

Wow. $88K MSRP on a 2009 CS? Makes the $95K '16 GT4/Spyder look like grand theft.

Love the color... a coworker of mine has a 997 turbo in it and it’s gorgeous
