I know you don't want yellow, but if you're up for a flashier and rather rare color take a look at this one:


2003 Porsche 911 Turbo, $44,995 - Cars.com

Zanzibar Red exterior and black interior. Factory options include aero kit, sport seats, deviated color stitching, aluminum accents. It has had some slight aftermarket work done to it including having the ECU reprogrammed, but it doesn't look too heavily modified. Under 50k miles too.

If I could afford it, I'd move on this one. Zanzibar Red is a favorite of mine. It looks very different in person compared with in photo. It has metallic and pearl elements to it that make the color shift between red and orange depending upon the light.

Anyhow, I'd better got a mop for all this drool...

Is it too late to ask Santa for this? Wish I was in the market

No!! to Mershons. When I worked at the Chevy dealer, we would have people bring in Corvettes that were bought from Mershons. Just like what was already mentioned, a lot of cover ups to sell anything from there. I've never heard a single good thing about them.

By the way, Ohio BMV has a free VIN search. https://ext.dps.state.oh.us/BMVOnlineServices.Public/TitleSearch.aspx
Looks like it was titled to current owner "CHESTER FOODS LTD" in 4/2013. For $35K
Since there's no Ohio history, I'd say it came from out of state...

Sounds fishy..
Good luck,
Kyle
