Ruins the clean look.

Not to mention shows that someone intended to use the car in poor weather...

Yes. Well, not beige, dual-tone leather pebble gray and agate gray. Which isn't really all that gray...

MJBrid993,

I found your older post where you have more picture of your car. It is really nice.
I like the 2 tone interior. It looks so clean!!

I also find this one on sale,
https://euroclassics.porschedealer.c...15825/info.php

It is Ruby Red. I can't really tell the different between Ruby Red and Amaranth red on my monitor.
I heard Ruby Red is a bit darker, warmer. Too bad the car is not local to me....

can you PM me on which dealer you got your 7% in CA? This will save me sometime in shopping around.

thanks in advance.

Unless you really want the last of the NA 911's...

Of course, my car is not currently for sale, but who knows?

I want your wiper too! Not the car, just the wiper...

I did a temporary install of a rear wiper on my 996. I didn't like how it looked on the car, so I removed it!

salesperson only gets 10% commission on the sale of the car minus dealer invoice. They can get an additional commission on the back end if they sell ClearBra, wheel/tire insurance etc. So 15% is not going to happen like others have stated.

For point of reference, I ordered a C2 GTS yesterday. Had to fight for 4% below MSRP. Dealer started with $1000 off for "loyalty discount." I asked for 5% ($6800.) We settled on $5500. Which the state will take right back in tax, and then some!

This is incorrect. The total dealer markup on a new Porsche is a fixed 10% - regardless of options.

The one exception being the 918 Spyder- the dealers make a flat $30k.

I believe it's higher, something like 15%....when I ordered my custom 2015 C2 Cab back in April last year I got a discount of 9%...they would not have done it for $1000 markup especially on a custom order
