I understand that's how most people will feel, but if it's been 150+ hours since last occurrence, I personally wouldn't be bothered by it. Less competition from alternate buyers. Failures from such events (if they were going to occur) occur relatively quickly.

So much for the idea of the "free Porsche" ...the seller of that Issimi Spyder is going to take a $15k+ hit to his wallet if he gets asking price, all for just 10 months and 700 miles of enjoyment, and that during a time of rapid price inflation.

I think it looks great as a contrast on the full leather dash, and matches the alcantara inserts of the seats.

It was a well thought out custom spec. I like everything other than the white seatbelt passages.

I’ve wondered what gloss black seat belt passages would look like on the red/white combo Spyder

don't think seller has that idea in mind when he got it but safe to assume he's gonna take a 25k+ hit considering ca tax

This one's had the interior stripped for track prep. Seller has factory interior parts at home in FL, but he's out of state in NY, so the buyer will have to pick up the parts from Florida

Can't get my head around this one. Went for something like $64K, have no idea if it's capable of being out back together as an R, what it may be is a quick track car you could duplicate on a donor S for $20K less.

I think it had to do with all the aftermarket modifications, which are top quality pieces. Buying an S plus those modifications would get you to the sell price, but without having to pay for labor. That's worth a lot to someone that doesn't want to turn a wrench. Not for me.
