It's a nice car but I have zero interest in a dinan supercharger. Plus those seats are...not great.

Why do people put this in ads?

yeah I dont like the seats either, cosmetic issues I mentioned. I assumed you wanted Moar power from the non-m engine


yeah that 1M is nice but not for the money it will get

Oh, man.

I should have bought the one that I drove that looked just like this.

EDIT: A simpler time, in so many ways.

I don't know. I'm drawn to them too, but even with a garage, it seems like a real PITA.

That's why you get the Cayman R, the perfect sports car. But then some of us still complain.

Easy pass on this one:
- Corbeau seats
- Supercharger
- Short term owner listing previous owner's maintenance
- "Going to buy a house"
- Poor English

I'd venture previous owner tracked the car and this guy bought it cheap and maintained it cheap.

I don't want a roof.

I've decided that I drive my car infrequently enough (and mostly with the top down) that I could live with a Spyder. And I should probably buy one, since they likely won't depreciate much.

But laying out $60K for a car I only drive maybe 30 days a year is a hard sell.

I see these come through ATL pretty frequently. Some say this is a good market for finding a Porsche. Not sure why. Lots of corporate executives, I guess.
