I love the Titanium silver/blue.. it never looks dirty. I imagine the Lapis is one step above black on needing constant attention to keep looking good. Admittedly - black and dark blue are great colors, but having owned both, I'd opt for something I don't have to wash daily..

Awesomesauce. Based on my observation, the price premium for a P!g with a warranty more than covers the cost of likely repairs (which, from an actuarial and profit perspective, makes perfect sense). IMHO: At this point in the life of the 'A' and 'B' vehicle years - now that there are fewer and fewer covered vehicles and when likely problems are well-known and solutions can be easily found and most applied by a decent garage mechanic - cliff-diving isn't what it used to be.

I likewise would be tempted at that price. For me, just to get the lapis blue shell. I would then attempt a complete bypass to remove replace one interior and engine/transmission with the other. Then resell to Donkers or Russians. Or Russian Donkers.

Tow package and suspension and the cute wood trim. And blue. Could probably part it out and make double your money. If/when it does go over the cliff...

Congrats.

I have noticed on some russian cayenne offroading postings on youtube........when they open the doors.....the door has like a strap only and a non distinct simple piece of covering over the door interior shell.........no arm rest trim etc.

And the seats look like they are old bolted down jeep seats........no real interior basically.

not a bad deal and in my favorite color I must say I would have jumped at that too.

Agreed. That is one of the best deals I have heard of.

I thought I got a good one on my 04 S with 61k for $18k.

update: I've installed a new battery, tires and having the front end aligned. Bolt on adjustment stuck and they broke it off on the camber(?). They will replace it and the bushing today. The Lapis is really growing on me and when I get my detail hands on it , it will look much better. Once I changed the main battery everything seemed to work perfect. There was a fender bender on it and repaired, but it looks like a good company may have done the work. The only fault that shows up is "check Hitch"I've look at it but don't see anything wrong. Thanks for all the comments. Oh, what would be a good personal tag? Thinking 9PA !, or swine, lapisme, any1up.
