That's actually interesting, I've always thought meridian was just another of the many kinds of silver as they came up frequently when I was looking for my car ~5 years ago though since then I don't often see people post pictures of them.

Just saw an 04 turbo in meridian with cinnamon brown special leather on autotrader. Super pretty.

Yes, and that's been a puzzler for me. Speed Yellow was introduced with a $3000 price tag. Not sure what year it went from $3000 to $0. But I think if I'd paid the premium and the next year it was a standard color, I'd be irritated.

I love my PTS Arena Red. I cannot find the picture I took of it next to Orient Red. Orient had more "pink" per si to it. A guy in out local club is selling a Cobalt C4S. That is a color you don't see often either.

Hmm.
Looks like someone else thinks Zanzibar is the cats meow. That's quite the premium...

My meridian TT with a meridian Boxster at the track over the weekend.. I don't know how common or not this color is, but this is the first time I've seen another in the wild that is Meridian- and the Boxster owner said the same thing.. this picture kinda gives an idea of some of the variation in color based on angle/lighting

I always see Meridian as more purplish than pinkish.

Just read the carfax, looks like the owner's nephew took it for a joy ride in 2004 LOL...wouldn't deter me at all, I would just leverage it with the dealer. Let us know if you pick her up!

Nice pic! I always had a thing for blue 911s, but they seem more on the rare side. Colleague of mine has a lapis blue 996 C4S and it looks great.

I couldn't make that meet at RTC last weekend, was out of town; great weather for it though!

Thanks Peter!

My buddy and I go up there most weekends, usually there is always something different or cool to see. A lot of the same cars every week, but never know when a Carrera GT or 250 GTO or something super exotic may show its face.

There was also a Porsche gathering in Woodinville last week, over 50 Porsches turned up. Shoot me a text sometime if you want to join up with us. We usually meet in Factoria or at car wash off of 148th and cruise in together.
