I’d go see it. The pictures may be worse than reality - but I know what you mean. Great looking car otherwise!

Yea, Terracotta. I can't stand it. There was a clean, low mileage, 09, full leather, C2S, with a manual, for sale local to me with this interior. Couldn't do it. Cue for the Terracotta lovers to flame.

That interior is horrific. Kudos to anyone that's willing to light their resale value on fire for their love of terracotta...

Also, I get worried when I see debadged and non original wheels. I'm guessing it's been modified, and then "returned to stock".

I guess I'm weird...I absolutely love that interior, particularly with that exterior colour!

Agreed, I also think that's a very nice interior with the two-tone. Full terracotta maybe not but with the black upper I think it looks great. All it needs are some black floor mats.

I like it as well, especially with the black two tone & painted centre console.

The potential for this alone would dissuade me.

The color itself doesn't quite bother me as much as the outdated interior coming from a 991...

Interestingly you put this color combo on a 993 and it's rare and shall I say somewhat highly desired today. This along with black and silver on terracotta look great.

I also think it looks nice on a 997TT. If it was me I'd lose the tint, this way the contrasting interior is even more visible.

Good catch sir. Dealer's explanation is probably 'well the car is IN canada!'

love the colour, both exterior and interior. Would want to see it in person but i think contrasting interiors look great on dark exterior cars.

That has almost everything I'd want.
Turbo, standard transmission, rear wiper.
Shinny Terracotta? Bit of a problem for me.
I would go see it? Perhaps the lighting is bad, or the saturation of the photo's is too high.
Fair price.
If there were service records in there? Hmmmm
I also hate MPH gauges, but on the bright side, drive it for little depreciation and then go sell it back into the US.
Could be a free car with the exchange.

I have seen terracotta in person and quite like it. I think the 2 tone with black would look awesome (i have 2 tone black/tan). Worth a go see if tempted. Way more interesting than all black....

I have mph gauges in mine and frankly the markings are so small you can hardly tell. Always just use the digital readout anyways
