Assuming the selling dealer has set a realistic reserve, the issues with this car might make it a pretty killer deal:

06 engine not as reliable (or good at holding value)... The second is a terrible color for a turbo.

I'm generally a fan of bright/attention-grabbing green but that's a bad shade

I like both of these cars. Nice finds. Do you have to scour these listings or is there an automated war h engine that spits them out daily?

Coming out of the BAT bidding war and renting the 981s for the week, I've been doing a lot of Porsche research and preliminary car shopping. Assuming no major life changes impact us in the next 6 months, we'll be actively looking for a 991.2 cab sometime after March. I'll share details of what exactly I'm looking for and ask for pointers when the time comes. In the meantime, I set up daily email alerts to see whats for sale and whether anything perfect pops up.
This one is just such a hot mess. It's a shame, because its a good spec and I kind of like the Gulf Blue, but then you add the black wheels and black lettering, the red gauges and red seat belts and none of it works together. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...ctid=156611702

I must be color blind because that car looks white to me
I am not a fan of the red belts or red dashboard but I like the black wheels and black lettering on what looks like a white car to me ... |

It does look white at first, but I think it’s just horrible lighting in the photos - washes out the blue..

I will be excited to follow along on your hunt. And that is a weird spec. I'm not opposed to colored belts/dials, but it needs to be a very careful coordination.

I don’t mind that car. Gulf blue is a little played out but it’s an interesting color. The red accents are tacky, but are they that much tackier than anything else involving a 90k Porsche? A car like that should have a little dash of tacky.
