It looks like a well optioned car with minimal wear on the main points you would wear in the car. Drivers seat, shifter, window switches etc...

No PSM and what's up with the strip of pubes under the HVAC control but otherwise I see no obvious reason why you wouldn't be running down there right now with a fistful of dollars....

Are you going to share the Cayman S you had lined up against this?

Yep- here was the competition... http://www.hallbowling.com/2006_Pors...TN_6609625.veh

Plus I was looking at a local 2002 996 Cab with 90k miles at $16k, but needed tires and the top was reaching the end of it's life cycle.

All good, actually fantastic. Plus a recent 100k mile service by dealer with a fair amount invested by them with all records, of course.

For god's sakes, man - it has a glove compartment. Have you no DIGNITY? It's a sports car, not a vacation home.

Why stop there? Why not just get one with a built-in EZ Bake Oven and a disco ball hanging from the headliner?

(sorry, I got nothin' - buy the damn thing!)

Probably has a cup holder, too...dammit, it's a sports car, not a Home Town Buffet.

I'm guessing the passenger side door just wasn't completely closed when they took the photo?

Big divot in the driver's seat?

It will be a lot of the fun on the Natchez Trace Pkwy!

Car looks good in the pics.

Go kick the tires and light the fires.

Test ride then test drive. You know the rest.

Find a reason to talk yourself out of the car.
