No hate here on the grey, just wondering if it looks better in person or the pics don't do it justice?

 

If that's cobalt, then mine must be speed yellow.

 

But I've heard from many people who really dislike grey

 

Looks like midnight , I had a 2001 in same color combo= really liked the grey but prefer black. Going by pics the car looks very nice. Don't care for the supple leather.

 

Punched in the vin and it comes back as Lapis Blue, must be bad pics or lighting.

 

No hate here for grey. My SUV has grey interior which I chose and still find attractive....again, it just shows most imperfections.

 

Agree, I don't like the supple leather, both in terms of looks and feel. But as you say, I wouldn't let it be the deciding factor on an otherwise good car, as seats are VERY easy to swap out.

Right now I'm looking at ''upgrading'' from stock seats to the sport seats, but I've read mixed reviews on the sport seats comfort level. I'm not really having any issues with my stock (perforated) seats, they seem to do the job for my use case. But a friend has a set of sports that can be mine, I just need some time in them to determine how they feel ---with the use case being mostly canyon runs here in NorCal.

 

If anyone can live with (or likes) the red interior color, this car seems to be priced fairly...

Asking Price: $45,990

2002 Porsche 911 Turbo with 45k miles. Artic Silver Metallic with Boxster Red Special Leather. Original MSRP of $118,775. Factory options include Parking Assist System, Supple Leather Front and Rear, Lumbar Support for Left and Right Seat, Heated Front Seat Package, and more. Upgraded Forgestar Wheels and upgraded exhaust.

 

I like the red
Not a big silver fan, but I do like the red...

 

It's too bad they didn't build more silver cars with the saddle interior. The Boxster red looked cool back in the day, but time just hasn't been kind to it. Black holds up the best, but saddle is just a nice color that has held up very well. Rennlister autobonrun has a seal gray 996 Turbo S with saddle interior that is really gorgeous. I think silver/saddle would look great also, but you rarely see it.

 

It looks good with green too. But I'm a little biased...

 

I don't dislike silver w/ red interior, but that red is awfully bright. That particular car is not too far across the Bay, I'm going to try to check it out next week or so.

I just saw a silver/saddle or gray/saddle on line either today or yesterday. Looked nice...classy combo, but as previously stated, rare.

 

Elite Motor Cars? Alex? Good luck. If you have ANY issues with the car make sure you put it in the contract. I bought mine from him in June knowing there was a spoiler error code. He told me it was no problem and arranged for Sonnen to fix it. Sonnen couldn't address the problem and Alex has not returned multiple emails or calls.

OBTW, he'll tell you there are 3 other guys calling about the car so there is no time for a PPI. He'll also tell you that the car effectively had 3 inspections before you bought it. None of that helped me as I blew a coolant fitting 6 weeks after buying the car. I could live with that but the lack of response is proof he's a puppy mill.

Bottom line is that I would not recommend a friend to buy from Elite Motors.

 

Good info PaleAle. I am not in any way endorsing the seller of this silver/red Turbo, I don't know him or Elite. Was just pointing out an interesting car, priced fairly based on mileage (condition unknown).

Me, I bought my car bone stock from a 72yr old guy who owned it for 7-8 years, with all service records. Much higher comfort level than a dealer--at least for me.

 

+996 on buying from an individual as opposed to a dealer - even a Porsche dealer.
