Boring is relative.

Mine has a red interior, I don't think it's ugly or close to lipstick, more like a brick red; but everyone has different tastes. That photo has colors amped up. I think silver/red is classic, reminds of 50's sports cars.

I'd want high 40's for mine and that is a high option (91k msrp) gt silver at 20k miles in cream puff condition.

I did not mean to come across bad about the interior color but it really is a LOT of red. Maybe I should go see one in person. If it is more of a brick color I might actually like it. Do you have an S or a GTS? I forgot.

And coming from the M5 I really don’t think I could do a non S.

I’m not a big fan of red interiors, but after seeing your car in person, it is a phenomenal color combo...

I have an S. I drove the Cayman GTS, it's not all that different, mainly ensures that some sport options are not missing (some S's could be configured badly, that's much less likely with a GTS). It does have annoying added sound in the cabin (that could be deleted - I certainly would). That said, even though the difference between it and my S is miniscule, they are the top 3.4L mid-engined cars (unless you go to a 3.8 GT4 or Spyder) so they will command more value.

Thank you, Matt, much appreciated.

Yeah agreed on Equs car. It’s very striking.

Also, the Porsche colored leather grows on you. I wasn’t fond of the blue at all (there’s a thread here somewhere where I mocked it), but after living with it a while, it’s so much nicer to have a little zip of color to look at inside.

Re: CarMax warranty. I think it was 2200 for coverage to 75k miles total or 5 years from the date of purchase. There’s a $150 deductible per visit, not per repair (which drops to $50 if you use CarMax, though they said they mostly farm the work out to VOB/BMW of Rockville).

Seemed like a decent deal—Doug DeMuro certainly seemed happy with his.

My experience with VOB with my M3 was that they were especially evil and extorting. They may have improved over the years.

lol probably not.
