Maybe not for Germany, but it was great in the US, unfortunately I had to sell it after a short time, the clutch was a BEAR, and driving in it LI to NYC traffic became too much to handle.
So, there are a few of us who like that....but as noted...not the easiest to sell
This color combo takes me back 20 years when i owned a dark metallic green (forget the exact color name) over light beige '93 VW Corrado. Even though ive had lots of more powerful and expensive cars since that's still one of my favorites. the FWD was rubbish for sure, but it was the 2800 lb curb weight, short wheelbase and NA V6 engine which sounded great with aftermarket intake and exhaust that made it a great car.

Hmmm, thanks for that tip! Never thought of that. Porsche seems like the only manufacturer that doesn't two-tone its interiors by default. Like my old VW mentioned above it had the steering wheel and dash in black. Porsche seems to use whatever interior color you choose everywhere unless you choose from a select few options in two-tone full leather.

Does it effect cars that are partial leather? This guy claims no problems with his partial leather car as the dash isn't shiny leather. i see you posted in this thread about a past sand beige car that gave you problems. Was yours full leather or partial?

I like green too. But, it is true that a green car will not sell as quickly. On the other hand, these choices are all very personal. If you love it, why settle for something that someone else likes. I did that once and regretted it.

I would negotiate , I just bought a 09 c2s cab 6800 miles, heated/cooled seats, full leather, chrono, navi, upgraded rims/tires, cpo, ppi ect. all the same stuff listed. I paid 67000. I did go out of state to get but I think it was worth it.

By the way I think cpo 2500 at dealer. Not sure if that is their cost to Porsche or just the increase by that much.

Wow for a cab you got that price with that low mileage? Is it PDK? What color?

Yes it is PDK Midnight blue metallic, beige lnterior. There is only slight reflection on the windshield, mainly from the chrono area. But it is minimal at most and only occasional. Polarized glasses take away when wearing. I also like the green and tan. Have a BMW Z4 that color.

Nice looking car! What was the starting dealer asking price? Is that reflection with a partial leather or full leather car?

Agree. Ask is too high. For sh*ts and giggles, if they have one of those "get a quote" trade in offers, offer to sell them that car. Their offer will be mid/high 50's.

I just bought a 2010 911 S with 13k miles for 70K. Original MSRP was 110,780. Wasn't that that concerned with CPO because it still has 18 mos on the orignal warranty. I did have it checked out at the local Porsche dealer and they said that it was in great condition. 6/100k sounds good on the CPO but if you buy a 4yr old car you are only getting 2 years of coverage when you buy it. The Porsche dealer had a green 2009 S model with similar equipment, 10k miles and CPO. They were asking 65k about a month ago. That car has since been sold.
