I purchased this car about three months ago now I have it for sale, but I’m thinking of bringing it back home because the car is in mint condition and a few times I drove it. It drove amazing. It doesn’t have the original rims, but whoever had it put on Brixton’s forged…. It has 4000 miles with a two year CPO from PORSCHE, and they just did a 60,000 maintenance at the body $7000 cost…. just asking for suggestions. should i just keep it ? I did the trim inside in orange myself…… and the body of the car is just an amazing condition…. The only built 14 of these in the last year.
Unless:
-- You’re under financial duress (which is understandable given that it’s tax season ...)
-- You are upgrading to a higher model Porsche
-- Or you’re going through a divorce that requires you to get rid of jointly owned assets
I’d say if you like the car, you should find a mechanism to keep the car. Lava Orange is rare. And it’s got the black targa bar. That’s a hot car. TBH the only reason I would *not* keep that car, if I were looking for a reason not to keep that car, and I looked at the spec sheet on their website, is the standard interior/rubber dash. I prefer the leather dash interiors on a 135K 911. But - the rest of the car balances it out. Orange. Targa. Etc.
I agree with @Nashvegas . That is a very unique car and looks hot, not just because it's Lava Orange. These cars are mostly wonderful luxuries we love to own as long as we can and if none of those things mentioned apply to you, keep it. You seem to miss it and enjoyed it and worst case, if you decide to sell it later on you're not going to "lose" much between now and then.

I totally agree with you and the dash does turn me off. I can always have it reupholstered that’s not a big deal….. you actually just opened my options with getting the leather amd i could make it with some artistry
