Yeah, don’t ask a firefighter if your house could catch fire, lol. Instead, ask them if those fire blankets are worth buying (aka, oil analysis).

Thoughts on this recent C4S trade? Seems low the low side. Thinking the gray interior against Arctic Silver hurts it. Also minor damage reported. Hoping the market hasn't dipped this much.

With just 3 hours to go, this 987 ('06 Cayman with 90K miles) is bid at $5,500. Gorgeous color that looks to be headed for RNM.

3 hours to go is nothing.
The real bidding doesn’t start until the last 2 minutes.

True! Usually at 2 hours before the close, the recent bid is closer to the final price. These have gone north of $20K on BAT recently. This one was December 2023.

That leather is VERY red. Not my bag, but at least it's unique and not just a silver with black combo. Interiors have gotten so boring lately

The leather was “to sample.” What sample did they use, liquid hot lava?

In all fairness, it might look different in person. Porsche used to (or maybe they still have?) a factory color called “Lobster” that is red-ish with a hint of orange. I think I saw this on 80’s cars.

I remeber one Porsche interior option in the 80's called Can Can Red that had a similar shade, this one looks a little darker.

Yes but they used this on some 996s and I would trade my black interior for it lol

BTW I am seeing more and more 996s in Scottsdale, Az and I am loving it Prices are good to see so many in my city, because I would never see them before

I like the red, particularly with the deviated carpets. The headrests are quite tacky though, and I'd swap the wood for either aluminum or carbon fiber. Wood is a luxury material to me, and a red interior is quite sporting.

I wouldn’t have sold it for $24k either.
