Full red is the best interior they make, imo. Doesn't get much more classic, imo, than a 356 roadster cream with red, or silver with red.

A beauty!! This car rocks

I think @ $85K would be a great buy for someone. Less than 6K miles!

Clean CarFax I assume?

Where is the link for the ad??

The general car-buying public (including me) hates full red interiors though, so you are severely limiting the buyer pool with it. At least the new black/red two-tone leather tones it down a little. The full red is just so over the top. I think it looks awful personally, especially after a few years of wear.

Really? I'd like to know where you get your data. I seem to be seeing a lot more red leather interiors around, including offerings on the S class and 7 series. After I traded my silver/red GTS Cab, it sure sold quickly. To each his or her own, I guess.

I've looked at a couple of nice 991s with black/red interiors...and could not get my wife to bite at all. She absolutely hates red interiors. Probably about as much as I dislike beige interiors. (I don't mind black/red - all red might be too much for me - but tastes in color are so subjective.)

Default Pleae help with decision

I'm looking at a lightly used 2014 carrera S cabriolet with 9200 miles on it. The owner is asking 87k. Is this a good price? This is a private party sale and not a CPO. Thanks!

Although, I don't mind the color, it is a very tough one to move.

Taking everything into consideration, I'd push for low, low $80's

I agree. 14s should be trading low 80s with CPO IMHO.

Nice car, but truly awful low-resolution pictures. And not one decent picture of the " $4000 full leather two-tone leather" interior. But he includes a picture of his girlfriend/wife sitting on the curb with the car nowhere to be seen and the highly useful picture of the seat controls.

Tip for private party sellers: Take some decent pictures of your $90,000 car! If you have zero photographic skills, hire someone.

Yes, low 80s for '14 C2S, CPO, PDK, without Sport Chrono/Exhaust can certainly be found with around 20k mi at the moment.
