Silver is a traditional German car color, but very conservative which is why it was my first pick. Then I saw one that is Speed Yellow. Porsche's Seal Grey looks great with the right interior.

... and if I had 60K lying around it'd be in mine. After all the proper due diligence.
Hate to say it but it kinda sounds like things are adding up to a story. First, any car that the seller straight out says "NO STORY" has a story. After all the guy buys it in 4/09 and drives it for 7+ months and wants to dump it. There is a story in that alone. It looks very yummy, but proceed with caution.

Because we don't know the facts, and until someone gets a PPI, there is no "story".
I think it hurts any of as potential sellers to imagine a story out of conjecture.

Hi, first post here. I've been lurking and educating myself for about four month now so I thought I'd pony up. Great site that already has saved me some time and money. Plus a great bunch of folks.
I talked with the seller several weeks back about the car. He told me when he bought it from the dealer, who he knows, he said it was leak free and guaranteed it. But it did have oil leaks so the dealer took it back and fixed them so he had a clutch put in at the same time knowing that's a weak spot on these cars. He said he has the repair order and it ran around $3k or so if I remember right, He also said that the original owner was an older person and had all the maintenance records that the guy went overboard on. The seller seemed like a straight guy over the phone but wadda I know?
He sent me a bunch of photos and the car looks very straight and in excellent shape. I can forward them to anybody that wants them. I got a good feel about the car but wrestled with the color for quite awhile before deciding I didn't want that bright color. Although I think it looks hot, it just stands out too much for me. I'd rather be more stealthy than that and this site is certainly helping me narrow down what that means to me.
So if any of you go for it, let me know what you're selling. It's great to join the ranks of the Rennlisters.

I have seen that car many times driving through downtown. It is one of the Fandango owners/reps and before that I saw a Gallardo parked in the same spot and before the gallardo a F355.

Guess I follow the "I like seeing SY, just don't want to own SY" crowd... I like unusual colors, but I've never wanted a yellow car (Lancia Delta Integrale Evo2, perhaps..). Love the sunroof delete because I never seem to use them & I also just seem to get a good vibe from this car.
Good luck to whoever buys it, I'm sure they'll do well.

Not to pick on Nick, but I think all of us RennListers turn our health skepticism into near-paranoia on cars that aren't selling right away. We make a lot of assumptions, and often beat up a car that doesn't deserve it. And perhaps this one does deserve it; we just don't know yet.
Because we don't know the facts, and until someone gets a PPI, there is no "story".

I too thought that I would never consider a yellow car, but after seeing SY on person, it is a very nice color and suits the lines of the car. I'd pay $50K for the car if it had a clean PPI...I'd pay more for a color that I liked better
