X51, PCCB's and aerokit, I would have bought it for 95k.

It started at 109K. I guess I'll talk to them some more. Thanks for the advice on the cabriolet. Maybe I'll offer 90 and see where they want to take it.

Good luck

When the San Diego business press runs strips like this; "..2,750 notices of default, 1,655 notices of trustee sale and 1,096 foreclosure sales sold at auction in December (2007) in the county." There's bound to be a few choice apples that fall off the tree... Might look up the line for a dealer in Riverside County; I gather the news is worse there...

I am with WAC, I wouldn't want the yellow gauge faces, but then again, I am not the one that would be driving it.

Look in the third pic, it IS a Black/Orange RS, he's not talking about the Orange/Black Boxster.

Ah yes, I see the RS now too, I don't think that's there anymore.

I'm not a big fan of yellow either, I assume it can be changed.

As others have said,....PCCB, X51 and Aero Kit - there's not much more. I think if those 4500 miles haven't been ridiculously abusive then 95-99 is reasonable for such a car.

I think even if you end up paying 99 you are okay mainly because I think it will be difficult to find a similarly equipped car for sale. That being said don't be afraid to press for 95. There has to be some room in the cars price.

Is that a red Ferrari in the Porsche showroom?

Sure is, looks like an F430.

Sharp looking and well optioned 997S. The yellow gauges aren't my thing, although they'd be better complemented/balanced by yellow seatbelts. What's the story on the front lip anyway?

Yeah, they have a 430 that some guy traded for a GT3 RS or something, I guess he was really pissed at Ferrari and skipped the normal dealership routine. Now no one will buy the thing because it's at the Porsche dealer.

The lip is I think a 200 dollar deal, I think it's just understood that they would replace it. Also, the plastic stone guard or whatever it is looks like **** and would need to be pulled off.
