You cannot go wrong with a Targa so you are on the right track; however, you are the only one to decide. I like the Red top but the wheels on the other, and the lower miles are a plus. Is the 3rd party warranty a Fidelity one? Should I assume you have contacted the sellers of those warranties that are recommended on this forum?

I am not sure which company it is but have friends that use it and they said they are great. No issues, ever.... Just curious, what wheels would look best on this car. Just learning the Porsche brand and curious.

The red top and silver color is a great combination I find.
Have both cars Bi-Leds? seems like the black top does but I cannot tell for sure for the red top.
If you plan to resale the car at some point, I think the full red leather interior might be more difficult to sell - I think the black/red interior is more balanced but that's just my personal opinion.

If color of the interior does not matter to you, I think the red top would be the choice.

Watson, yes that is what is kinda bothering me as well. The red top does have all red interior vs the black top having a black dash which breaks up the rest of the red interior. From what I am reading, seems that maybe I should wait for the exact car that I like especially spending this kinda money...

I like the red top. however I would always go for the lowest mileage car. You can always change the top if you want it later on.

thanks for the pictures, this confirms my impression. I prefer the black / red interior but again, it's just my personal opinion.

What would the "exact" car look like? If it is close to one of these you may never find exactly what you are looking for.

Yes sir, you are correct. I am attracted to the red top car. Just don't know if the interior being all red will get on my nerves after awhile. But it is different which I like rather that just having all black interior. I think the red looks good against the silver....

Selfishly, the higher a Targa is sold for, hopefully that indicates mine is worth more as well! 😁
That being said, I think 120k cars with red interiors and red tops are not fast movers.
That is why I think you can get better (lower!) than the 120k originally referenced or the 118k referenced later.
The market for 100k cars isn't on fire. There's a lot of uncertainty out there.
Did you share the VIN? Can then look up how long it's been sitting on the lot.

As you can see, everyone has an opinion on the color combos, hence, only you can choose. My original comment (and thoughts) stand the same after seeing the interior. With the red top and all red interior, it's just too much for me (personally). I prefer the black top, the two tone of the interior, and the rims are 10x better than the ones on the red top car. With all that being said, I still like the lower mileage showing on the car that appears to have someone who threw up red on it.

I would have said the red top, but the full red interior is too much for me. Black bordeaux is much easier on the eyes. Pricing based on miles is very different. The CPO car is a plus, black/bordeaux is a plus. Mileage is not a negative but the price needs to come down. Or just wait. Since these are not new cars, have you checked the Porsche site used car inventory that shows what’s available nationwide.?

Why do some of the 2017 Targa's have the sport and sport+ on the steering column and others have the buttons on the console similar to 2016 and back?
