Default Aside from an unusual color combo, what's wrong with this '97 993 cab?

I think (but not sure) that I've seen this same car for sale at the same dealer for at least a few months. Sure, the yellow and red color combo is "different", but what else is wrong with it? I figure it's a reasonable price, and low mileage, so it should have found a buyer by now.

Does somebody know the story on this car?

Maybe that the color combo is butt-ugly? Might be able to change out the interior over time as pieces become available and eventually sell the current interior. I like Chestnut, but not on SY.

+1 It's the color. Maybe the dealer? If that car had black interior it would be gone IMHO

That car has been on the blocks for sale for at least 9 months. It has to be the color combo.

Too bad about the burgandy. Very nice other wise. But it's got a basket handle. I thought only early '95s had them (mine does). But they call it a '97 and the engine doesn't look like a '95.

I've tried installing the low profile third brake light on my cab, but it keeps blowing off when I drive it.

One other thing. The car might have been hit. If you look at the passenger side fog light, it is A LOT newer looking than the driver's side.
Food for thought.

I've seen this happen a lot depending on lighting and camera angle. But, like you said, something to look into.
