its all preference can’t go wrong with either. It’s a speedster! Here’s my Guards red after full PPF and ceramic coating.

Interesting - so you went from the White to the Red one they had?

Looks so good in red.


If it’s a Canadian car the speedo will show KM/H.

The $346k price would be in line to Canadian pricing.
My car seems to be similar to the one you posted and it’s MSRP was around $353k.

@jp884 Question - from one Seattleite to another - what color was Ichiro's 997 Speedster?

It was the blue that it came in. Had his name on the papers in the glove box. Still stings to this day. It was back when the dealership was one you wanted to buy a car from, Barrier. Autonation is only good to pillage their cookies and drinks from but I won't buy another car from them.

@jp884 I figured it was the pure blue. One of 356 is rare enough but the one owned by Ichiro? That's a miss.

+1 for the good old days of Barrier, another miss.

For sure, driving the car back to tell them it wouldn't work was very hard to do. That was when Barrier had the 3 days or 100 miles no questions asked return policy. Like I said, it stung so much, that I sold the house. It all worked out though, went bigger, with better view and more garage space I get complacent to easily and it requires certain moments like that to get off my *** and do something. Next thing I know there's three kids to help fill out the house.

I love these in red!

I would just change the indicator/marker to clear.

These are available on Suncoast.

Remove them and add a few layers of PPF back there

PPF the entire car. Well worth it if you plan on driving it regularly.

QQ - The Carfax has 3,300 miles on the dealer for registering the car but the car only has 520 miles. I have not run into this before....do they fix it? Does it matter?

I don't think it is a rollback....

I would just ask the dealership for clarification. I know from personal experience carfax is not the most accurate. I always get my Porsches serviced at the Porsche dealership and on my RS those services were not being shown.
