Seems like the one constant is very few want Macadamia in any combination or cocoa interior as even the certified "deals" on these are sitting even at steep discounts. Neither dark green nor brown of any shade belong or look right on a modern 911 . . .

They're definitely less popular but I like it. You from Nashville? Ever do cars n coffee?
#213
Agreed. Last march before I bought my GTS I was very tempted by a smoking hot deal on a Macadamia.. and although I like it well enough I knew from how long it and other cars in that color sat.. that I'd have a hard time selling it if the need or want ever arose.

The Turbo S had PDLS standard. The Turbo didn't. See this http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1225622
Good to know. I always used it as a way to identify a second gen. I checked my car's build sheet and there it was, a $690 option.

Never been. Wife went once in her orange Gallardo convertible back in the fall with some people she was working with at the time. We spend about 4 months a year in Destin and fair amount of time in San Diego.

I'm selling my macadamia and am currently pending sale after it being on car gurus for 3 days. Selling for $1,500 less than I bought it for a year ago which is decent depreciation.
I honestly wish the 4S was macadamia as it is a much better color.

I totally disagree. I just purchased a '12 CPO 4S with 26k miles and factory aero that I found on this thread for $10k below KBB. Oh, and and it is boring *** silver.

Live over in Navarre Beach - if any of you Rennlisters are around would love to see more Porsches - most people here have Corvettes and 80,000 dollar trucks.

Very cool. Sound or beach side. One of my closest buds live in Navarre. He's the dude with 430 spider, Gallardo, Atom, 2 Bentleys and etc. Sure you know him or see him on TV commercials . . .

i think macadamia is a sale-proof color. so i see that. but i actually love my cocoa interior (platinum silver exterior). the whims of the market, i guess...

I've actually never met him but that Lamborghini DUI made headlines here and was the talk of the town - though i'm impressed he got his own charge dismissed entirely. He must be good!
