If that sells for anything over $100k, my factory RHD Hong Kong car just went up by 30 grand!

Yep agree, unless you're hotting the car up a bit and it looks good along with other int sporty changes eg wheel, seats maybe, I'd be leaving the centre as orig, no glovebox was a mistake on these, although door storage is largish - but small criticism I guess overall on a reasonable car - photos look nice.

Trimar666 Posted 31January, 2018 Report Share Posted 31January, 2018 What's the thoughts on beige interiors. I like this car but I just don't know about the beige. The same goes for a few cars with grey that are about at the moment. The graphite grey seems a bit darker but the light grey I'm not so sure. $$ seem good on the below. http://m.quicksales.com.au/Details/704772671 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this colour and the red ones too, while others hate them and think that it affects resale value. Me I would seek out a car like this. If you like it go for it, don't worry what others think..... the light grey ones on the other hand..... Does seem good for a 4S, not sure on the 997 wheels though?

Not wanting to sound like I'm having a go (I'm voicing my opinion with a smiley face ?), but a Porsche isn't about how much storage it has, It's a sports car. I'd do exactly what that guy has done with deleting the console, and probably rear seats, add a wing and a few other things, as that's what I like. I don't have kids, I don't take anyone for a drive and I wouldn't go on holidays with the missus in it, as it's my car for me and no-one else. If I wanted to do that, I'd buy a wagon ?

Beige/tan interiors can be great but just take a bit more effort to keep clean. Beige/black is a good combo. Everyone just goes for black but it is a bit boring after a while. I'd love something like blue/red or silver/red or black/red. I don't mind white/blue and brown/brown or red/brown either. grey interiors are a bit like tan in that they can be nice airy places to be but are harder to keep clean. Blue/grey and black/grey are good. my take is that a sports car interior should be a little out there and not boring like a grey/black 3 series lease.

Coastr Posted 31January, 2018 Report Share Posted 31January, 2018 Always kicking tyres. Prices are always increasing though. 964s are either too expensive or basket case. 993s are good prices but too many years until can be driven lhd.
