Interior is Porsche cloth script seats in good condition. One cigarette burn in passenger seat bottom. Power driver's seat works well. Passenger seat manual.

All systems work well.
Strong brakes with no squealing.
Wipers front and rear work well.
Sunroof works perfectly and doesn’t leak.
No exterior leaks at all.
Glass is clear and unchipped all around.
Power window lifters and power mirrors work well.
AC blows very cold and heater gets very hot. Have run car hard in the summer at 105F with AC on high and no overheating.

Single stage paint has chips and a single split. One 1cm rust bubble forming on driver's door entrance (body side, not door). I meant to attend to that and didn't. ~5cm bubbled split in left rear quarter panel, under clear rock protector.

Car looks amazing from 10 feet. A great example for driving, not necessarily for show. I can't imagine being able to buy a better handling car of the Porsche marque at this price point.

Includes winter snow tires and Falken summer street tires.

I thought that I would be keeping this one, until I caught the Cayman S fever.
