I think there are only 189 that were produced for the US. 10 were white. With the Euro where it is I don't actually know how many are left in the States

Maybe that came out wrong. My girlfriend likes your Black S better than the white S. You caught me in a short sentence moment.

that's the car that you had told me might not be an S or maybe it was wrecked because the rear deck badging is not correct. possibly high mileage and an accident could have brought the value down

Ahh. I just saw it on Ebay and see that stupid "Turbo S" script that I commented on. You are correct, it is the same car. I don't know anything about it other that it is certainly not 100% original.

BTW, your new S rocks. White on a Porsche is one of the best. Not that I want to trade, but I'd be just as happy with yours as mine. Great. Perfect.

So am I to understand that the car at Newport, the silver/black with ~16k miles on it is not original? What do you mean? The reason I ask is that I spoke to a Mike Burger at the dealership over the phone yesterday regarding the car. I am thinking of flying down there this weekend to see the car. They are asking $145,900 on ebay. If anyone in the 6speed community cares to share with me something I should know regarding that car please do. I don't think anyone would want to make a big mistake and buy a car like that if it is not "100 correct". PM me if it would be a more discrete method to tell me what you know.

Thanks
