Flamenco red is a love it or hate it interior ... my first 993 was gran prix white over flamenco. I liked it ... but it was a lot of red.

Not being photographed indoors in perfect lighting conditions after being slathered in wax and greasy spray products does not make a car "tired." The failure to make this distinction is why so many people fall for shiny POS cars at dealers like Victory who spend lots of time on photography and detailing. My $.02

I don't understand, why negotiate on a car you know you won't be buying?
It's called "changing your mind. The purpose of posting this information was so that fellow RLer's who were interested could get a sense of where the negotiations left off. They were asking $55,000, so by me updating this post with this information, I thought I was doing someone a favor!

I think that means: "Driven to hospital parking lot several times a week (less than 10 miles so engine has no time to come up to temp) and parked in cramped, underground parking by sleep deprived owner."

Yea, the "Doctor" that was the previous owner of mine screwed cheap cupholders into the trim, spilled coffee all over the car, and the amount of trash I pulled out from under the seats was unbelievable. Plus $5.27 in loose change. At least I got a deal there.

car could be a good deal, but, sorry, Id have to drop some $$ on that interior.....at least the carpet and dash would need to be black to 'dial down' that red. id probably drop some $ on a couple cans of surflex too.

Yes, the paint looks it could use a good polish but it could just be the pics. Regardless, this is a hell of a price. Someone has got to check out this car and jump on it if it gets a good visual and PPI.
The dealer might have all the records too.....
Best of luck to someone!

Pics are pics. They can make a great car look bad and a bad car look great. Presentation when selling also varies. Some spend lots of time "prettying up" a below average car while sometimes those with a really good car show it "as-is" with little more than a wash.
By the sounds of it, the car was a reasonable one as it sold quickly. I love red interiors but prefer them with black carpets.
