Closing in six hours… 16k-Mile 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe 6-Speed: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...ra-s-coupe-10/

If this car is any color other than silver or black, I would be bidding with full intention of being the winning bidder.

I have an irrational bias against FL cars.

@wdc330i, Exactly… there are plenty of pics of the car after Ian as well as a walk around video. The car is currently at Porsche of Fort Myers for an oil change and over rev report. The seller is picking it up this morning.

FYI, It is one owner car originally from New York. A Subaru dealership apparently had it and this seller purchased it solely to flip. At least that is what I interpret as the CarFax is provided by the aforementioned Subaru dealer. The seller has auctioned off some nice vehicles/motorcycles, including a Bugatti for $4.4M.

Edit: WOW! Seller just posted the service R.O. and over-rev report. Flawless… UGH… why do you have to be silver?

Yeah, this is a great candidate for a wrap.

My loathe for silver runs fairly deep and deeper than for a black car. My former 5th Gen 4Runner and current E39 put me there. I liked the color when I had my ordered Z3 and two ordered E46 coupes.

Edit: Upon some reflection my immense dislike for silver more than likely comes from the fact that I absolutely hated my ordered 2014 AWD 4Runner Limited that was painted in silver. That thing ruined silver for me as obviously I associate the color with that vehicle.
