Great service records until 2014 where carfax ends since the car has been parked in a garage for nearly a decade.
Sounds like my car when I bought it, minus the rust/corrosion.

Savannah isn't that yellow in person, but it does seem to photograph on the yellow side. I love the contrast with the Lapis. I think swapping out the carpet for black helped a lot too.

The black carpet is a big improvement for literally all of the non-Black cars. I have a graphite interior in my Carrera and it dramatically improved the look to add black mats, even. I'm just too lazy to do all the carpets in black.

It is all about mileage and in some cases colors.

The ultra low mileage cars, especially ones in rare Skittle colors, are considered by those paying top dollar for them as Grade A collectable. As the mileage increases the prices buyers are willing to pay drops off precipitously.

I was thinking more about the very low mileage.

Graphite gray interior does not do well historically?

Graphite is the 2nd-least desirable 996 interior color, just behind dreaded Savannah Beige

A full Graphite car will likely never do "all the money", but Savannah literally can't

(that cuts both ways of course)

Yes, I could see that. I bought a truck some years ago and couldn't wait for it, so it came off a lot. Was meant to have a Graphite Black interior, it was horrid beige, just nasty. The moment I could find a King Range interior out of a wrecked truck, it went in.

4300 mile 2001 fails to sell.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...urbo-coupe-71/

Incorrect passenger door panel and carbon poorly replaced with leather on steering wheel. Underside looks terrible for the mileage.

God that car has some bad cosemtic stuff for such low mileage. Was it sitting in a shipping container in Florida for years, or what?

That car looks like it sat with the engine lid open during a sand storm. I have a hard time believing the mileage.

The paint flaking off is suspect but I bet it has to do more with age.

The rusted fittings on the AC line are a big red flag. My Civic si has been a northeast car its whole life and the enine bay is not that corroded. Ive driven it on salty roads and in the snow plenty..

That car has had a rough 4300 miles somehow. Very odd.
