Default does this sound like a steal?

2007TT, 30k miles, (tough colors), but sounds like a good deal, no?

The exterior and interior look like they have been well cared for. If the mechanicals are in good shape, it IS a good deal.

Thats one ugly interior (which explains the price).
Go for it if you like bright red interiors and if you are not looking at future resale.

"sooo niceeeeeeee"

Personally, I would pay a good chunk money to not have to sit in that interior.

I would spend 5k more and get a car with half the mileage and interior color that would be more pleasing unless red is your color.....

Agreed - you'll never be able to sell this car. The interior is offensive.

Even if you liked the red interior at first, I bet you would learn to hate it over time, and you will hate the car even more when you try to sell it. Lower milage, nicer cars out there, even if it costs you a few bucks more its well worth it!

I kind of like the interior. I would not have ordered it that way (mine is blk/blk) but I kind of like it.

Looks like a car Tiger Woods would drive on Sundays only. The interior is one of those things that probably seemed like a good idea at the time...on paper...or in someone's mind's eye. Then when you show up to the dealership to get the car you go, "Oh jeez! What have I done?"

Yeah, pass.

I've driven a Cayman with the Carrera Red interior. It acutally hurt my eyes and started to give me a headache.

Would be a show stopper for me.

You might want to just check Porsche site for cars.Not sure if its still there but showed 0 miles on a 2007 for 110k
http://ucl.porsche.de/ucl/plsql/usa/...&pnr_=1&lnr_=1

there was also one with 4k miles for 89k
http://ucl.porsche.de/ucl/plsql/usa/...&pnr_=1&lnr_=4

You can search the whole country and it list most cars from all dealers.

this car has been for sale for a while. I like red interior, but this red does not so it for me. And the supple leather really ruins it. I really can't stand the look of supple leather, just not sporty to me. That "ruffled look" is a bad look. Sorry.
