I hear you. It is very well priced for the options. I'll be in Houston this week. If its still there this weekend, my wife and I might go up to check it out. If we do, I'll check in with you to see if we can grab lunch or a beer or something.

Thoughts on this one vs the blue one:

I agree, silver/espresso is great. I think in FC's time it was called Cocoa being a richer brown. Espresso is a little more conservative.

I currently have "Arabica" leather in my LR4 (all the seats and some dash/door trim) which is closer to Porsche's espresso than to cocoa. Not my car below, but a fairly representative photo of it. |

So this is starting to get a little more real for us.
I'll start with I'm just not comfortable with the Blue car. Alan, I really appreciate you checking it out for me. Everytime I look at your pics I am uncomfortable with how bright the blue is and I really don't like black interiors. As I've mentioned a few times before, I'm struggling with the P-Car stigma already, and I think the look at me aspect of the blue would make me even more uncomfortable. There are actually two Silver / Espresso cars available in my price range within a day's drive of our house in the budget range we've set. They each have some pros/cons so I'm interested in hearing people's feedback. First One (Originally posted above):https://www.westmontporsche.com/used...4f20a3a4bd.htm Second One:https://www.akronmaserati.com/invent...ca2a97hs142588 The first one (posted above) is a C4 vs the 2nd one which is a standard Carrera. Reality is I wont do any bad weather driving and it will be on summer tires, so I am not sure if the 4wd actually adds anything beneficial. I know you lose trunk space. The first one had a $144k original sticker vs $125 for the second one. The first one has LCA (valuable) and Sport Chrono (questionable value on a manual) and a bunch of extra leather and stitching (looks nice). The second one has 18 ways (vs 14 ways on the first) and much nicer RS Spyder Wheels. I've asked the first dealership if they'd switch the black wheels on the first one for a silver set of identical design that is on another of their pre-owned inventory cars. I really don't like black rims. The first one is CPO through 2022, the second one was put into production over a year later (they're both 2017 models but one was built 3/2016, the other 3/2017). and has 15k less miles. Assuming prices are within $5k of each other, which one would you get and why?
