Nice cars! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. It has 38000 miles and I am the third owner. I think the previous 2 were very meticulous because the car is very clean. Clean CarFax. I have complete records of the scheduled maintenance, all done at the same dealer the car was purchased at. I have the window sticker and receipts for everything. Ferdinand that is really nice, looks like some extras I don't have. TkrTape12, very observant. Western Suburbs.

Congrats and welcome! I like Arena Red also, and you have a nice combo with the interior.

Have you found an Indy for service yet?

I too am from the Western Suburbs, but have not seen any events advertised here. Maybe we should start something?

I love arena red, my favorite 911 color. That natural leather is a perfect match, too! Looking good.

I thought the interior looked like natural brown. Stunning combo.
It looks like the manual holder, under the steering column, is empty. Did you get your manual?

Thanks again for the nice comments. It took some time to make a decision so its really nice to have the approval of other owners. I am extremely happy with my choice. Window sticker says the interior is (Natural Leather Brown) 4600.00 charge. Also has power seat package, headlight washers, stability management, Hi-Fi, litronic headlights, on board computer, remote cd changer. Oh and the manual is on my nightstand

RP, you've got yourself a beautiful Porsche. You are going to have so much fun driving it! Enjoy it! Baby and pamper it but above all drive it. I love the wood accents in the tan interior, they really add to the allure. Welcome to the club!
