That's some good info. I'd go for the "S" and no shipping charge. Plus you're not on the hook for it this way

It's pretty well spec'd too. As far as I can remember, it has gray leather, Sport Chrono, chrome tips, short-shift (the first I've seen in person), sport seats, full leather, classic wheels, colored wheel crests and headrest embossed crest - no navigation or PCCB. I don't recall whether it had PDC or rear wiper.

The color is pretty amazing in person although it's not for me since it closely matches the colors of my alma mater's rival.

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the heads up on this car.
I took a look at the specs for the car on the Porsche website and it looks perfect, if only it wasn't an S model. Although I would love to have the S, it doesn't quite fit into my budget yet. So unfortunately, though closer, it will be in someone elses garage!
At least there will be 2 or the Carmon Reds in California!

Hello OCBen. I'm working on the pictures. My P-car is currently looking like a mess, as I'm (too) busy moving to Europe. I need to clean it up first. I already have a decent camera to take some good pictures. So, I ask for patience.

H-town is indeed Houston Texas.

PV: You movin' to Europe? Wow, and why? You're not originally from there are you? Will it be long term or some sort of short term assignment (1yr or less)? Either way that's some move all right. Are you planning on traveling on the same boat as your P-car, or flying and then waiting for the car once it gets there? Just curious that's all. Hey, well don't worry about the pics if you're too busy, ok? I know you'll post them eventually. Good luck to you!

I'm originally from Europe, actually Amsterdam (The Netherlands).

Yes, one of the issues is the move of the P-car. I will be without it for approximately 2 months , however, the good news is that I will be living about an hour from the Autobahn in Germany

I'm planning to make some better pic's in a few weeks from now, and when the P-car arrives in Europe.

Well, I hope it gets there safe and sound.....and you too of course.

You'll have to let us know us know how it all works out for you!
