White/gold .2 RS on the PCA Mart. Very low option car with 12k miles. Asking $335k. Seller started a thread on here looking to trade for a 991 GT3 Touring.
Canadian car, so you know, priced appropriately /s
Also the Shop that Car is at is a Race/High Performance Prep shop, I don't have first hand knowledge but a source I trust 100% told me never to buy anything from that shop.
Ques: Is the leather from the Gen 1's indicative of the creases that develop on driver left bolsters (both the Merit Partners gen1 Pumpkin's seem quite bad for only +/- 6k miles)???
My gen 2 leather (driver left bolster) has twice the miles & still looks pristine compared to those two cars.
I realize that specific bolster receives all the stress of the driver getting in/out,... but still,... at approx 6k miles, I would think they should look a LOT better than that.
My .1 has just under 26K miles and my bolster looks pristine compared to that. Has a few creases but nothing like the ones pictured above. I think its all about the owners.

Could be how the person gets in and out of the car or they didn’t treat the leather much. Also cars that have had a good amount of track time from what I’ve seen tend to show more wear in the interior (seats and high contact points such as the steering wheel and shifter). Coincidentally there have been a handful of pumpkin .1 RS’ that have come up for sale in the last year that have had abnormally high bolster from the shown mileage.
Not something to get hung up about too much if all else checks out.
Here is a pic of the bolster wear on my car when it had 15,500 miles on it. I removed those seats soon afterwards, conditioned the leather, and threw them in my office closet, where they sit and hopefully heal a wee bit. My white car with 40k on the clock, stock seats removed around 30k miles were actually in better condition than the ones that came in the orange car. I'll try to get a pic of the seats in the closet to see if they look better now
Agreed. Think the yellow goes along better with the white gold color of the wheels and enhances it a bit. The red still works, but doesn’t add that little bit extra. Think the red calipers look better with the red contrast cars as I don’t care for pairing red and yellow (red wheels and yellow calipers) together, though on the .2 RS it doesn’t bother me a ton as I’ve gotten used to it.
