Guys, I have been a lurker for a time. Ordered a 13 C2S cab when they first came out. Didn't drive it much, left it at my winter home. Felt bad as it only had 4,300 miles on it so I sold it.
Now 3 months later I sure miss it. Have located a 991 C2S coupe, great build, right mileage, meticulously maintained by a Porsche nut. We are very close on price, the void is so small I am pretty much ready to pull the trigger.
My only concern is the color, yellow over black. Don't see that many, and while it is only the color, not sure what a yellow 911 says. For an Italian car it's one thing but a 911, not sure.
Thoughts on yellow, good and bad please.
Thanks in advance
What's wrong with Yellow 911 having a black interior? I love mine!
If the price is right I would do it. Getting in to a yellow car must feel exciting, but it will also get it's fair share of commentary from the folks staring at the driver.
I think that yellow looks amazing on the 911. I had a yellow 997 C2S Cab for a while and I miss that car. I now have a black/black 997 coupe and I miss the yellow.
Just buy the color you want and forget the resale... I tried to sell my 06 Speed Yellow cab back in 2009, the dealer told me the resale $ different between a speed yellow and a silver/black was $3K.

They offered me $3K less for the yellow - $47,000 (black/ white/ silver) vs $44,000 (Red/ Yellow) . I had the car for 3 years, so it would cost me extra $3 a day for driving the exact car I wanted if I'd sold it to them. I ended up selling it for over $50K through private.
PCA Technical Editor Allan Caldwell had a Speed Yellow and black 914, and a Speed Yellow and black 911SC. When I saw his Speed Yellow and black 996, I asked him, "Speed Yellow?" He replied, "Is there any other color?"
I have no idea if yellow is right for you. I just enjoy telling that story.
