By 2001, Porsche removed most of the neat, light color choices and replaced them with a bunch of "off-blacks." Other than red, yellow, green, and zenith blue, there isn't much to pick from (at least...

I think could be a good deal if the car is in great condition. You'd be surprised the differences in condition which don't relate to mileage. Pay particular attention to the top fabric & window.

Wow, striking how little they have changed. I guess forcing your way into a cockpit for interior pictures was out of the question! :)

You couldn't pay me to run 19" wheels. You'll have have what, an inch of rubber between you and New York's finest [potholes].

If you like the style, at least stay with 18"

Really, try your best to get heated seats and the other options you mention with the car. Most of the factory options are difficult and expensive to retrofit.

It was photoshoped, and it was gorgeous. However, I heard a strong rumor that the coupe wouldn't resemble it. Instead, it would have a flat glass in the rear with flying buttresses.

Well, it is quite simply the best convertible Porsche has ever made, bar none. It was designed from the ground-up as a roadster, with the ideal balanced mid-engine design.

It's really easy. Just look for the black plastic caps over the carpet and gently pull back. The carpeted pieces are designed to be moved, because this is how you replace the lamps.
