83 is the least we can get it for, that took a lot of negotiating and took them a while to except

I'll take your center consoles if you don't want 'em...

I have a slate grey with the yellow stitching and love the contrast. Sure, it may not be a "purist" look, but you are not the original owner who spec'd it out. Take advantage of the good price for a well maintained car that has already depreciated almost 50k!

I would be interested in the steering wheel and air bag with the yellow stitching if you find yourself wanting to go all black.

I like the contrast stitching (reminds me of the Doc Martens I had). But, if it bothers you now, it might bother you for a long time. I bought a house that came with shiny brass hardware EVERYWHERE; you know, the stuff that looks like 14k gold. I thought I could get past it, but it turns out that it bothers me to the hilt.

5 years later, I'm still replacing the light fixtures, mirror frames, closet fixtures, door handles/locks, hinges, faucets, etc. In the end, it'll probably cost me more than I want to know.

In any case, make sure like that stitching, or budget to get the portions of the car replaced if and when you buy it.

Wouldn't bug me
if it's really THAT bad and you can't get used to it - it's an easy fix.

What is the VIN # to the Yellow stitching car? (My yellow car did not come with the yellow stitching on the steering wheel and I would be interested in getting an air bag with yellow stitching and I need a VIN # of a car that had it from the factory to order one)

I think the yellow stitching looks fine. Adds some visual interest to an otherwise plain black interior and ties in with the yellow calipers, so it's not out of place, either. FWIW, I have the GT3-RS Alcantara bits with red stitching, I think they're only available with red, yellow, and blue stitching. As a result, I don't think people could call it frilly or poseuresque.

Do they offer it with the yellow stitching? Their web site does not indicate they do.

DT, I live in Phoenix and saw the car last week. I have a client right across the street. I actually tried to buy one from them a year or so ago and we wound up a couple of K apart on price so am surprised to hear you got them down to 83K. FYI, there is a red on black at an independent store in Scottsdale, 4K miles and the asking price is the same. No PCCB's but its actually cleaner than the blue one. The blue one had lots of fines scratches from washing. I usually like the dev. stitching but this one is not my fav. Still, good price on a well optioned car.

Here is the link for the red one. Also, if you did not know, United auto owns both F of Scottsdale and N. Scotts Porsche.

Well, if you don't want the blue one, I'll take it. There's plenty of these cars out there but I think I want a blue one.

Don't worry about swirl marks, though. That is something that you can probably easily take care of yorself, and as I said, your going to drive it, so it's going to get chips and stuff.

Blue is not a common color on a car that is not common, and if that is the color you want, go for it.
