I usually despise wood in sports cars, but I'll make an exception for that one. That's a great color combo.

YEah! I really like that combo. Very tasteful. I normally do not like wood in the Porsche but that one looks exceptional!

I think the rest of the combo is winning me over. AZ to NY would be a nice road trip.

Not sure how I feel about all the wood yet.
I love the wood interior! Very beautiful color combo. That car begs to be driven. But you'd have to dress accordingly. You can't get in that car with cargo shorts and flip flops.

This is very subjective, but that car is awful. I would never have a gold car, perhaps because I had 2 gold cars before and didn't like them. The cinnamon brown is ok, but that wood combo is not for me. I saw a similar vehicle in my search (maybe it was this one) and it was a heck no!!

Haha, I'm not a fan either, and I'm usually one to appreciate odd color combos. What really sets it off for me is the chrome rims which belong on motorcycles that can't turn.

This one seems very clean and between the color, options, and mileage I'd say it qualifies as a prestige car even though it might need a few minor things.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-911-turbo-69/

I'm also interested in this one since it is local to me and very similar to my car.

Looking at it also, it meets most of my criteria, but I'm in NY.

shameless self plug - https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1157489

I like to think it's a prestige car, it's one of the more unusual color combinations (and the other silver). Definitely lower miles than the link above.
