It doesn't matter what WE think of it, you're the one that will be staring at it every day.

i am one of the ones who likes nephrite green....although i have never seen it in person. (other than a shifter boot that i have)
there was a white 993 TT on ebay recently with the green interior. low miles, prestine condition.....top dollar.
i saw a picture of a Boxster that a fellow ordered - speed yellow with nephrite green interior :0 ...now that one is a different story!!

Isn't Nephrite Green the standard interior color Ruf uses on his cars?

If you're not sure you can live with it, move on. However, if you like it and you're ready to join the bastard sons of the 993 guild - those who have interior colors other than black, grey or beige - give it a try. This C4S seems like it's really well-optioned. I think it looks great, so let me know if you pass....

IMHO, I'm not a fan of that Gumby green interior. Must be one of those "Porsche special wishes" option.

As for the other options, looking at the pictures, it's got the sports seats (though they're not heated) and rear seat delete. But that's about it as far as I can tell.

If you don't like it, move on. There'll be others...

"Gumby green" is a good description. I like it, and the idea of speed yellow in combination. Dare to be different, I say. I'd jump on that car if it was a good deal. Good luck

Boy, that is a really strong and different color. I had a Guards Red 964 with Classic Grey interior, and even the *grey* interior negatively impacted both value and market appeal much more than I had anticipated. I can only presume what this green would be like at selling time.

If you love it, go for it, but if resale value is something you think about, based on my experience I'd advise you to pass. Just my $.02, and good luck.

Sorry, not for my conservative boring taste. If you like it, then it's the right one. However, IMHO, resale would be extremely difficult.
