So tasteless! I would expect this on a modded civic! Not a 911 turbo.

New money.

Ha. Nice quote from the Top Gear US show. That color isn't for me, but what goes through the mind of the owner that wants those kind of colors? I'm wondering if they go for the shock factor or really think it looks great.

No. It's good for nothing. I watched two episodes last night, to clear them off of my DVR, and it was painful. Luckily there's some new TV starting again and I won't have to hurt my soul watching any more of it. Back on topic, not digging the smurf blue, but I'd love to see the sticker on that car. My car has a full leather interior that was ridiculously expensive. To get the same thing in a custom color must have been at least another $10G. I could be wrong.

Seriously, what do you guys think "Lucky Motors" paid for that thing? 25K? Less?

Seems like a nice car if it could be fixded. BTW is that head unit stock? I've never seen anything like it

Can't believe somebody drove this pile around for 8 years with an interior like this. I would pay about 25k for It because it needs so much work inside. I doubt Lucky Motors paid much for this or else they are idiots.

guys it's not sooooooo bad...okay it's really bad BUT I've seen worse believe it or not.

Honestly as long as the car is mechanically in good shape and works fine and is clean chassis, it should sell for what they want it for, quite easily. Someone is going to LOVE that interior as much as we don't....it happens all the time. Someone who loves the white and blue combo may think - "the interior is perfect...now I just need some blue wheels and blue Porsche turbo side graphics to finish the car" or something like that... we are only looking at this car through our biased eyes...there is a buyer for this car out there!

Ive know one of the previous owners, its the drifter guy....durka.....


Ive seen him romp on this thing over and over, and watched him put it in a snow bank trying to run from the cops......


With the HIGH potential for mechanical issues, HORRIBLE interior and high price, this thing is going to be a nice dust collector at the dealership.....

guess "lucky motors" luck just ran out

has to be at least 4-5k to change out. This issue is you have to find someone who is going to do a really good job so you don't end up with a rattling 996 that would be unbearable to drive.......
