Stunning! Congratulations. Sounds like you are in true nirvana with this car. I’m very happy for you. Where did you find this one? Was it offered In Oregon?

Epic. Gotta say I love the grey black w/ red.

Enjoy in the best of health.

How was Grand Prix to deal with?

Thank you! Yes, bought from Grand Prix in Portland.

Thank you Waxer! As I said, have been partial to white; but grey-black is growing on me. Looks so good in the sun!

As for Grand Prix, they have been pretty good actually. This car was the owner's personal car and he would not budge on his price. For this car, the price was the price. And I did not actually see the car before it arrived; so took a leap of faith. They did give me a super-fair deal on my Turbo S on trade. Actually more vs. two other Porsche dealers who recently wanted to buy it or take on trade for GT3 allocation. Was a pretty straight forward deal at that point. My sales contact has been responsive and helpful. Overall was pretty painless. Only issues were RS came with washed outside; but needed a little vacuum in the footwells and had about 3/4 tank of gas. But these are nit-pick things; the car was as described and no surprises at all. I would rate it 8.5/10 overall experience. I would buy from them again no problem.

Yes, for sure. I am in south OC; my usual cruise-loop is through Laguna heading north; up to Newport Coast drive and connect to McArthur; to 405; then to Sand Canyon through the round abouts; back into Laguna via 133/Canyon Rd and then down PCH to San Clemente to hit industrial park. It's a great loop and about 1.5 hrs drive.

Nope. Mine is safe and tucked in at home. But she will be heading to GMG soon for alignment and pre-cautionary service.

That might have been the other one Grand Prix had for sale; was fairly clean as well but w/18k miles or something like that. And to keep the photos coming... here is a quick pic of the interior of mine... to me it's a perfect spec (minus wart)! inside is flawless! looks new; does not look 11 yrs old!
