Default Does anyone know this green turbo

Does anyone know anything about this car? It seems like a low mileage example for a fair price but it never seems to sell? Is it the color, or something else?

Price is definitely reasonable for a 97 TT but i would never touch a green car especially a Porsche.
So that might be a reason.
But i know that for me it definitely would be...

I don't know anything about this Turbo, but the color may be Dark Forest Green Metallic, or something like that. I almost bought a low mileage 1997 C4S in that color last year. I thought the color was stunning in person. Almost black until you get close to it and see the green tone.

If that car checks out, with a healthy PPI, that's a nice low mileage Turbo. Keep us posted.

I sold my Paint to Sample Black Emerald TT last year. Not a lot of takers for green. 20k miles $65k. Maybe it was the green interior.
Anyway, it went to the fatherland to a guy who collects green cars.

I think that is the Aventurine Green. I have seen one in person and I am sorry to say that the colour just seems wrong for a Porsche - great for a Jaguar though.

I am such a dummy...did not scroll down.

Green is a very personal choice for sure. I do not mind the color, at the right price it might be possible, but not at $60K. However, the inside color does not do it for me personally...I prefer my cars interiors black.

Cheers,

Mike
