Hello again guys.
Update, just when I have booked my trip to another city for that Nordic gold, a Targa 4s popped up in my city!
These are the only pics I got.
It has 40K KMs on it, really really clean inside out, except for a few abrasion on the interior, an a slight scratch on the oil pan. It has only one owner.
It has vented seats, bose audio, no sport mode, no sport exhaust
The price is about 14K lower than that Nordic Gold.
Down side is it comes without the sport/sport plus, I don't need the LC function, but the sport/sport plus changes shifting speed and throttle response, which I can not get from manual mode of the PDK. I see Suncoastparts offers a upgrade but the dealers here don't offer this service. I really want to do this upgrade.

I drove it for about 1000kms and things were great, but one day one of this failed.
I can’t let it happen again, so I changed everything
While doing this, I was drooling for this…

Nordic Gold is an interesting color--but it was not popular. Most Porsche buyers are very conservative. If you buy it, factor in that people are not attracted to buying odd colors. That color was unique to about two years, and immediately dates the car. That's not entirely bad. My color, for example, was a two year color, back in the 1990s, but I brought it back successfully. There may very well be people who like the Nordic Gold, and are looking for something special.
Definitely pass on that yellow piece of work which got abused severely.
