That is a gorgeous car and shade of blue. But then I love blue, blue, blue. Enjoy in good health!
If its a manual and if and when you tire of it......

Love it!

LOL

Here's an example of what Riviera Blue can do for the value of a Porsche. It's getting rather nuts!

When and if I ever sell my 911 there is no way I'd sell at the same price as a white car. BTW, I love white 911's.

Car is up to $96k. I hoped to replace our family car once the kids are gone in a few years with another 911 930 or 993 but I can see that it might be out of my reach if these prices keep going up.

Now that's just silly money. Granted it's also an S and has 12k miles so it's a rare beast indeed, but still. Sad thing is it'll get bought by a collector and never driven. For $100k I'd think you could get any 993, have it restored and painted any color you like.

Non-Metallic Blues are snapped up when they come on the market, they never sit.
I own the only Maritime Blue (38B) Carrera in the US and I'll bet I'd get every penny back on my mid $50k purchase price today.

Tom, the TB is OK

Here is my car @5k miles in 2009 on it's way to NC from Boston. You'll know I haven't had it more than a few hours as it still has the pumpkin markers!
