And you're right, the price for a non-S will be a lot lower. I'm not a fan of tan interiors, but this car presents well. |

Yes, Sand Beige Full Leather is listed on the sticker as an option in the gallery.
That’s a really pretty and distinctive car. |

Among 997 and 987's, 2005 is the worst possible year for an engine/IMS issues. The 3.8 might be one of the worst, though it sounds damned good.

BaT tax. That's an insane price for a car that just isn't that good.

Seems like an ideal solution other than the near guarantee of being stranded somewhere when it breaks. I'm also not 100% sure I'd be able to wedge a convertible car seat into those tiny rear buckets. It is nice that the v12 front engine Ferraris don't appear to require regular engine-out service.
Myriad impracticalities aside, that appears to be a ton of car for $51K. |

Very tempting. The M cloth interior and the REAL M engine. All import legal as it’s barely past the 25y mark.
