That's a lot for a car without dynamic lighting or sport seats.

To me it is a lot for a GTS. With or without all the options. Even if it was a full leather car with sport seats, I could see myself spending $70k max. Closer to $68k would be preferred.

Why does it it have to be a convertible?

I am a bit surprised by the lack of VIN and the broken carfax link.

I don't know much about the different leather options. Why is supple leather a turn-off?

It's ruffled/loose/plush leather, not the standard tight/sport leather. Also, grey is the least desirable Porsche leather color, especially without full leather. The grey non-leather dash looks plasticy.

It also looks very ugly very quickly as it picks up nicks and unremovable black dirt.

What do you think about the terracotta interior?

I'm having a hard time forming an opinion - which is super rare for me.

It's growing on me! The problem I find is the variation in published photographs. Some times the color leans brown (I like) and other times it screams orange (which I don't).

Oh, and to complicate matters...this is now in my "saved"...

https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ink=true&Log=0

Need to see the color in person.

Edit: By the way, that's a great looking machine, Ed!

I'm not a fan of it under black. Too much contrast. Under a dark grey or blue would be much better IMO.

The terracotta looks much better in the black/terra combo. Overall an interior color I like, but as said, maybe not with black outside.
