withers Posted 23November, 2019 Report Share Posted 23November, 2019 Ok I like an unusual color combo... but this one might be going too far! Check out the other car in the garage... interesting that this seller has quite a rare car here and yet doesn't call that out at all in the listing. I'd be keen to know how long they waited for this combo, is it all that woodgrain factory? Obviously it has upgraded stereo. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2002-porsche-911-carrera-cabriolet-996-auto-my03/SSE-AD-6404167/?Cr=44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get yellow on a car like a GT3, but for me yellow on a standard car doesn’t work... and then combine that with tobacco and wood grain interior is a double whammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t888 Posted 24November, 2019 Report Share Posted 24November, 2019 Porsche had the woodgrain trim as an option. The radio trim alone is available for $2500 USD from porcshe via suncoast parts. (or around $75 USD for plain colour plastic.) I can't imagine what the original buyer paid - looks like it has the radio trim, as well as gear shift , steering wheel, center console, doors. If it actually looked like wood i might understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No probs with yellow on a "normal" car... I really don't like woodgrain! I like this color combo IF it had black or CF... the wood is just NOOOOOOOOO And the stereo has to go too... not fan of those double din units in 996s. I'd be looking at something more period correct for the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already met Jellybean and Taffy. Taffy is a lovely bloke and has done some great work to Jellybean. Unfortunately I'm not quite ready to buy ( that means I'm not 'allowed' to buy a 911 yet - trust me I did some serious hardcore nagging) otherwise Jellybean would have been getting a PPI! Jellybean drives great and that color combo is sublime. I sent Porsche Aus an email asking how many Ocean Jade Metallic 996s were delivered to Aus but they didn't get back to me. If anyone knows an email address that responds, please sing out as I'd love to find out to help out Taffy with his sale. Taffy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about this too as the seller was listed as "Insurer" so not sure how this car being so badly damaged ended up not being on the WOVR... Makes me not trust the system thats been put in place to give us some assurance that what were buying hasn't been so badly damaged then repaired... If it wasn't so bad - then sure no issue but that looks structural. Maybe someone with more insight can enlighten us Harsh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't so bad - then sure no issue but that looks structural. Maybe someone with more insight can enlighten us My understanding is if the Insurance co doesn't pay out on the car, it isn't entered on the WOVR. A silver GT3RS springs to mind from a couple of years ago that was relatively badly damaged, but it occurred during a motorsport event so no cover and therefore no payout. It then made me wonder about the GTS damaged in Tassie last year during a Porsche Experience tour. I wondered whether Porsche Aust self insure, in which case that car may well not have ended up on the WOVR despite a $100k+ repair bill.
