Thanks for the comments. Not accustomed to the on road attention it gets, may need to break a personal rule and tint the windows....nah.

No kidding, I read all the old threads when people were stabbing each other to pay $30K over. But if you bought at sticker they've been a decent buy. Porsche assured a long term following with the colors schemes and wing.

So far so good, RMS was replaced at 1200 miles once and it's been dry since. Owner is a long time racer, few miles but likely not lugged and driven like it's made of glass.

wow, amazing spec. Love the interior with the orange center counsel and full orange stitching. At that price mid 90s? That's amazing! I wish I can pick up a green one for mid 90s... love the fully loaded one in VA, but the guy wants 120k....

Enjoy the beauty!

Yes, although some examples of PTS .2 cars in these colors are around.

Thanks all!

Those with the green ones, hold on tight, it's already starting to be the color that gaps the field.

Car was listed on Ebay by a scammer who stole the images off of the original autotrader ad from February, VIN also showed up on Rennlist. Called seller who was just across the lake. Hung up, drove over, seller had ppi and overrev report for export buyer in Germany that didn't work out, drove car, made the deal. Hard to beat buying from a known local enthusiast.
