Question Carrara white over light grey

Hi, after having searched through this thread I miss some words from you guys on this car: WP0CB29914S676276 ... is there something wrong with it - I mean other that not being silver / black on black. It was listed here in the market place in 2015 and got tossed around a bit.

I'm in the market for a 996.2 tt as a daily driver to be used in Europe. Only strict no go: green leather.

Looks like https://www.thetavernacollection.com...fl-id-40121652

Other than being a cab and tip, looks nice. Per prior ad here (https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...turbo-cab.html) coolant lines have been welded.

I'm glad they identified it as a 2D, as the 4D versions are really rare.

Forget the 2D/4D thing. That has to be the most unappealing interior color combination I have ever seen. Looks like a mistake.

That interior is... interesting. It's like they ran out of stuff and just put all the leftover interior pieces they could find into one car.

I am in the minority here because I like the gray interiors. Even I don't like that one. If it had gray seats I could *almost* like it.

Here was my train of thought:

White exterior? Very nice.
Gray top? Okay, older buyer spec, gray interior probably.
Gray Door card - Okay, gray interior, that can be broken up with a bit of...
*Sees Cinnamon door carpet, sees more cinnamon...*** Oh god. Please no.
*Looks through more pictures* But why?
*See black Steering wheel* Again, what in the heck?

No way that's factory. That's a mish-mash of two cars, and that's not good.

I guess I was wrong when I said gray was the worst interior color. Cinnamon Gray is now officially the worst interior color!

ok, got it ... unless you find someone who is (colour) blind, it's gonna be a very hard sale. btw ... has the driver airbag cover of the steering wheel potentially been replaced?

This looks kind of reasonably priced, actually? Carfax shows a recent clutch replacement. Engine looks to have some modifications, I think I see a Fabspeed label there on the intercooler - maybe https://www.fabspeed.com/porsche-996...intake-system/ .

Keeping the thread going with another nice example. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sf...273025480.html

One owner, 19k miles unmolested, tip. I sold my first turbo just about 2 years ago, which was nearly identical to this car and the same 19k miles, for $54k. I think this car is priced a bit high at $72K
