$115,000 or roughly the cost of a 2010 Carrera S with everything.

Seems like an easy choice to me. (I never liked Navigation anyway.)

the interior is a hideous combo of supple tan leather, carbon fiber, and yellow seatbelts. Yuck

I wonder if this is the same Cobalt Blue Turbo S that was at Ruf in Dallas and then was sold to someone in Houston last year, or in 2008? Wonder how it wound up in DC, if it is.

Really like the car, but the interior kills it!

I don't think so Dan. I don't remember that interior. I drooled over that car several times!

And I disagree that the interior kills it. Swapping out the seatbelts to cobalt or black would fix it.

Beautiful car.

I think it would look much nicer with a black interior. Two questions. First, is that lockable center console factory? Second, did the S come with ceramic brakes or simply Yellow calipers?

I tend to agree about the interior. Black or grey would look better but I think switching out the seat belts would help for sure. All the Turbo S cars I've seen all have yellow brakes with steel rotors. Nonetheless it's really an awesome looking car. A VIN check shows the car living all over the country including TX and OR. The car is on *Bay...

The center console is an aftermarket from Bird. The calipers were painted yellow.

If that were a black interior it would have sold by now!

Nice - if it were closer I'd sure take a look since I've never seen one in person.

for about the same price, not such an easy choice compare with a 2010 GT3.

The difference is that this car was the same price 3 years ago. A 2007 GT3 probably dropped 40k during that same time even if not driven. I like this car, but do not like tan interiors in general, and particularly not on a Turbo S with all of the carbon fiber, and even more so on a blue car with yellow belts. Still, it is nice car at a fair price.

that is a SWEEEET exterior color. Love the yellow seatbelts, too. Not a fan of the interior color.
