Personally, I can't wait for the day you buy your much coveted next car. And then decide you don't want it anymore and sell it. And then need another one really badly. And then get rid of that car too. Repeat ad nauseum.

Scott, I think Jonathan's car HAS to have BLACK interior and LSD (although he may be weakening on this feature).
BTW in my original post I stated my opinion that "low mileage" was UNDER 30K miles. Although it is arbitrary I think of cars between 30K up to 60K (maybe even up to 70K) as "moderate" mileage cars.

Just received my 95 C2 from Richard Sloan today. Overall I think I'm pleased. The car is not cosmetically perfect, but then again it's 15 yo and has 35000mi on it. Also, the black paint shows every little nick and rock chip, and gray leather seats have wear on the driver's bolsters, surprise surprise! Definitely makes me appreciate the meteor gray of my 997.1 Cab.
The car seems really solid and drives really nice, in some ways feels more solid than the 997, but also seems to have a bit more body roll and is not as easy to heel-toe. Definitely less torquey than the 997.
One door ding that Richard warned me about, but I have to admit it's more than I had imagined.
How difficult is it for a good leather/vinyl guy to recondition the seats, or is the only option to replace the upholstery? And hopefully I can have a paintless dent removal guy work on the ding. However, since I'm planning on tracking it it's just as well that it's not 100%. Will take it to my local Porsche mechanic tomorrow to have him check it out and talk about suspension mods.

If the leather isn't ripped, then a decent upholsterer can work miracles rejuvenating those seats. If they're really bad, which I doubt with only 35K, the surface can be Soflexed in a matching color. They'll look almost as good as new with a little tlc.

A recent arrival at Willhoit Enterprises may be of interest; it is a 1998, 25k mile Silver/Black C2S with Yellow Calipers, Aero Kit and a number of other cool options. I don't think the pics are posted yet, so you might get advance pics if you e-mail him. TurboBooost@aol.com
Good luck in your search.
