Interesting car, and I don't mind the colour, but some minor changes would be required to suit me.
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.

Yes, I know it's blingy, yes it does have those massive graphics on the side. A bit overpriced, but I think they would move some just because I'm maybe the only buyer on planet Earth.
So, see if you can find some of those 'vomit' emoticons out there!
Nope, driving it once in a while as I fix little things. Happy with the 928, but still thinking a 996 once in a while. I was a bit bummed that I had to do a TB/WP so soon after buying but I got it sorted ok.
I just run across bright cars once in a while like a fish chasing a lure.
I looked real hard for the "aero kit" as listed in the description, but I couldn't find it.
"GT3 Areo kit so she's really more of a GT than a sports car in the traditional sense.."
Wut?
Copy writer doesn't know what an aero kit is, or what a GT car is.
Did the 2000 model really come with multi-zone climate control? Or are the two zones "inside" and "outside" when the top's down?
Obviously the headlight covers weren't part of the $7k repaint they did. Also the only remotely Aero kit on there is only the cheap front $24 ebay lip splitters.
$5k rims better consists of HRE and Michelins.
As for the previous owner was an actress, maybe they meant singer?
I know Missy Elliot used to have a Lambo in the same color. Maybe she graduated to the Lambo after her career took off?
I have seen it before on ebay as I recall.
Doc: The 996 is such an AWESOME car, you need to get one and then do the "Fister" exhaust mod.....OMG, over the top.
I might make them a lowball offer. I got a nice bonus this Dec. I rode in a few, and I like them ok.
What bugs me is all the gray, black cars out there, and how few have the IMS repair.
Me too I can't stand all the gray, white, black, charcoal gray, etc. Lack of hue. But this color is hard to pull off on a plain jane. GT2 or GT3 or TT OK. C2, not so much. Hell, maybe you should buy it and put a GT3 tag on it!
Perhaps no one will notice what's really missing.
The thing about the color is that Porsche does charge a hefty price for paint to sample. It's not like you are going to drive to a PCA convention and see another one. Row, after row, after row of black and seal gray, the lime green sparkle will certainly be easy to spot. If only it had the cabrio hard top in same color.
This car was discounted to $15k few months ago. One of the rennlist members with bad comprehension posted "OMG look at this thing at $30k" thread, but failed to read that the guy was advertising it for 1/2 of the listed price.
So offer the guy $13k, meet at $15k if you want it.
I don't know. Get it for a good price, take of the crazy front lip spoiler, restore the headlights to the natural glory, some normal rims, remove the S and I think it would look good.
The color is definitely unique. As far as looking good on a GT3 but not a regular Carrera, the only people that can tell the difference are Porsche guys, and who cares what they think. They have no taste. I have heard some of them don't even like the 996 headlights.
I could deal with the green. Even the head light trim if it were THE CORRECT green.
All in all, for the right price, I wouldn't have a problem driving this car. Particularly knowing that you can fix the things that bother you. Now, if the color bugs you, that is a somewhat larger problem.
Well spoken, and I appreciate it from an owner of a silver car. I like the color, it does it for me. Of course, I can't buy a GT3, and agree that most of the issues are fixable. I may run up there this wknd, but I gotta clean the lake house first.
Grrrr, first world problems.
With a little bit of loving, this car could really be a showstopper. All it needs is time and attention! Fabspeed's a one stop shop! Feel free to let me know if there's anything you need!
