Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

28 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Put a tail on it, add some cheesy backround music, and pass it off as Barney at kid's parties!

POST 3Original post

Well, at least it doesn't have paint color matched stiching inside?

POST 4Original post

Not quite as nice as the old Aubgergine(sp?) color on some older, long nosed 911s.

POST 8Original post

As my father would say, good car for a lesbian.

POST 9Original post

I actually like it. Am I am NOT a lesbian. And Tim, what is up with you checking out the Porsche ads again???

I DO consider myself a lesbian - I mean, I like women, right? If there's **** on the menu, I'd lean towards lesbian ****... And I live in Asheville, NC, a very concentrated lesbian mecca of sorts - lot's of comfortable shoes here. Oh, the car - well, hmmm - cool, but I wouldn't want to be driving it,

POST 13Original post

I like it too - I'd take a unique color over silver, grey or black any day!

POST 14Original post

Someone out there paid $8K to do a Paint To Sample and I'll bet there's someone else out there who saw that ad and said "Wow!" and is going to buy that car. Individual tastes, it's just the way it goes. I seriously considered a Paint to Sample a few years ago because I really liked the Glacier Metallic Blue that BMW had in the 90's but Porsche didn't have such a color (neither does BMW anymore), but the cost was insane. Just couldn't see getting it back on resale. Then, about a year ago I saw a F430 done in almost the same color. Doh!! Should have done it, it looked fantastic.

POST 17Original post

Actually, Metallic Paint to Sample is only $4315 (+/-), and I really like this particular color. Not gay or lesbian, and I don't wear rubber shoes with holes. I loved the original early 1970's Aubergine referred to in the first post by the word eggplant. Porsche has had several versions of that over the decades. This may be a true PTS, though. But what do I know. I drive a giant weiner.

POST 18Original post

Tim, where is the purple porsche love??? It takes a while, but the unusual colors grow on you (kind of like a fungus). In a sea of silver cars, purple is really easy to find. I can't be the only one, because a Vesuvio metallic 996 was featured on the first cover of Total 911 magazine (my personal favorite). You really are looking, aren't you? Good luck...give the wierd colors a chance.

Quotes source post: 5819099

$8,219 was the quote from the Porsche dealer. An extended color was an extra $3,500 and special metallics were $850.00 extra.

Just day dreaming! It let's me see more Porsches so I don't go into withdrawal shock. I hate getting the cold sweats.... shakes.... fever.... and high anxiety.

POST 21 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I don't have enough years left in my life for that color to grow on me! Now, if someone wanted to buy it and give it to me.... well, that's a different story.

POST 22Original post

Quotes source post: 5818835

I think the point is to buy a car, own it and enjoy it, not to think about resale later on.

POST 23Original post

Quotes source post: 5820109

Not for me, it's always a balance. Cars aren't an investment, they just keep dropping in value every minute of every day. So, I try to keep some level of balance when getting a new one. Color doesn't make the car drive any better.

POST 24Original post

Could be a case where that color is associated with personal attribute (ex. college color or the guy played ball for the Vikings) For me that would be a nice color initially but long-term I'd lose interest in it. The nice thing about "standard" colors (i.e. silver, black, white, red, yellow, grey) is that they are timeless.

POST 25Original post

I've seen a lot worse. That is not too bad, just going to take awhile to find the right buyer or take a big hit on resale value. The Green ones with the green interior are still worse in my opinion. I think they used that color on the 928s in the 80's too. The artist formerly know as "Prince" should be all over that one. Too bad it's not a 1999!

POST 26Original post

At least it's not silver or black! Finally, some others with the guts to order a P T S color!

POST 28Original post

Needs a painted center console. Call Eric! JIM
