You know ... for some reason I've got a feeling all of it is for the Italian room mate ..

Swap the wheels for stock and............. I wonder how much it would devalue an "S" to swap the interior to black. I'm just sayin, that interior makes my eyes bleed

I saw this car street parked in SF a few months ago. Van Ness and Broadway.

I also remember a set of TTS wheels for sale on the bay area peninsula. I wonder if they are/were the wheels off of this car. May still be around.

Interesting interior color. I kinda like it!

Wow ... that's amazing ... not where I'd be parking it for sure. I like the interior color as well, it's not a standard color like Flamenco but leather to sample, matched to the body color.. not unusual in high-end cars like this especially in Europe. There's an Ocean Jade TTS I've seen with a matching PTS leather interior out there as well ...

So Stephen, Polar Silver TTS? Have we seen pictures of that yet? ..

Polar Silver TTS that lives somewhere out of the sunlight in the Bay Area

https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=80414

Been enjoying it but not driving it as much as I would like. Has around 3300 miles now. I am debating if I should lower the car to ROW spec or not. I don't know if I should do springs and HDs or coils. Still haven't even put on the second set of wheels (been in storage since I bought the car).

Back to the thread at hand, approx. $100k seems a little high (maybe 10-15%?) for a TTS with 70k+ miles (if I read the thread right). Car could be a great driver at the right price. Just my $0.02. There aren't many comps out there to look at. Car does look clean (minus the wheels and the curb marks on them).

3,300 miles! Definitely lower it, the handling inside the garage will improve dramatically.

But seriously, it sounds like you are saving it as a collector... at most, I'd keep it "factory" and only put the euro springs to lower it... rather than a coil-over set up. As a collector / concours car - you'd want the factory spec suspension.
Beautiful car!!!

Well that has to be one of the lowest mileage TTS's on the planet and probably the only Polar Silver one .. very nice :-)

So, yes, I'd agree .. I think low to mid $80's and a new set of wheels and let 'er rip ..

That's the kind of Turbo S I'd want - nothing you'd be afraid to drive, and drive a lot. Red interiors turn me on, too. Shame I'm a man of modest means - with immodest desires.
