Just stupid thinking here.

And this thing is $15-20k under asking price and about $10k under buying price.
This thing is a steal. But the interior had to be a bad joke. PO probably though it looked awesome in the online builder and then was mighty disappointed when it landed at his door.
I agree with you on the color - to busy

if the interior where black it would not clash as much - also the yellow dials are just not a fit what so ever

Tint the windows and change the dials.... the price is nice....... At that price you could almost change the color of the interior... Its not that it is that bad, just a little loud....

I looked at this again and to me the interior would look a lot better if all the red pieces were black. As it is now there are 3 colors going on in there and it makes the steering wheel look really out of place... just my thoughts but as everyone has stated GREAT PRICE....

maybe Im wrong!
maybe buying a car with a dealer cpo warrantee and complete dealer inspection is worthless! Maybe doing detailed research on its history and reading all the history you can find on the internet and by talking to the dealer is a waste of time!
You need to have some dude on the internet go look at it and tell you, yep its good. To really know if its a good car or not. Ive been doing it all wrong!! Idiotic!

Just looked again and clicked the carfax and noted a rear end collision. I think I would be afraid of a 911 with a rear end collision and diminished value claim. So much of the dynamic of these cars is tied up in the rear end, I would at least be very cautious.

Yea I did see that. To start the damage was reported as minor and vhecial was operatable. I got the car inspected at Porsche and there is also a true line frame inspection report. Both concluded that the damage was limited to repainting the rear bumper and one v quarter panel.

I also called the shop that did work on the car before it was traded in and they confirmed the condition on the car a well (no damage). The true frame report is viewable his the car fax link. I called them and went through the report too. So yes..I did my home work on this
