I see your point about that color on a track. Especially if the exterior were enhanced with some same hue blue and yellow, and the body had vendor stickers/decals on it. [don't know the right name for that stuff] But the interior has no recovery.

I lOVE that green....as for the interior, I've always felt that porsches had ugly interiors period....I was pleasantly surprised by the 987 interior....yet this guy found a way to make the interior even uglier! the fact that it is tan, and that sterring wheel...
again tho, I love the green!

I like the Green color, but it Def needs a different color interior. And he does say it just has a GT3 body kit that was installed during the painting process. 13 grand on the wheel? is that right? that means each rim costs almost 3 grand?

I'm sorry, but you can buy Dymag forged magneseum centers with Carbon Fiber rims for 9 grand. 13 large for those HREs? Someone is fibbing or someone was seen coming, I'm not sure which is worse.......

The black is really hard to keep clean!

It's really rediculous. I spend close to an hour cleaning for every hour I spend driving it!
I swore I wouldn't have another black car.........but even my wife (02 Honda Civic) was speechless when she saw this one topless in the showroom.......

I don't think it's that bad. Better than the gold TT.

Wow, I like that color!! Makes my Seal Grey look rather mundane. Not sure about the snakeskin, but I'd love to own that one.

Well THIS looks like the same shade of Viper Green that they use on the 997 GT3RS, which is HOT! It's bright but it ain't CANDY bright! Then again, I am someone who turned down Speed Yellow & Red to wait out Arctic Silver, so I guess I like 'em subtle. Something about that eBay listing makes it look like a giant sour apple Jolly Rancher... with a caramel center... and strips of snake skin... doesn't matter, though, because it will sell for sure.
I recently read that the 612 Scaglietti can be completely customized to your desire, but Luca Di Montezemolo has veto power on anything deemed tasteless. He recently turned down a request for a full croc interior on a 612. Really now... who would order such a thing???

Interesting pile of BS that someone actually bought because the car was sold to a winning bidder. Where are the photos of the car completely disassembled? Something way fishy on that one, buyer beware.

I dunno... a $34k 2004 carrera doesn't sound too bad.
edit: eww, 1999. Didn't realize how old it was. But I'd drive it for $34k. At that price, it better be in good working order. I bet it is, judging by the care taken for all the visible stuff.

Not sure I'd jump to that conclusion. His story about living a life of excess was a red flag for me. If you're lighting cigars with $100 bills, do you think he cares if he redlines his toy or abuses it in other ways? Greenie probably cleans up well, but if it could talk it would probably tell some tales.

Blewy, mate, how much insurance did the Crock-Hunter have?

The paint looks good. I don't think $34,000 good, but it looks quality. The snake skins on the other hand....
