I'm in search of a turbo...other than the obvious; Autotrader, ebay and Porsche, anyone else have any suggestions on where to look?

Very specifically, 2001-2002 White, Red, or Yellow.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Joe...are those the only changes from 01 to 02?

I know the glove box comes in handy, I like to keep the interior of my car immaculate, and this helps for further storage. However, anything else?

I looked, there are two that fit my "desires", just not my price range. Orli's car is to die for delicious! That is one amazing car. And Evan's...Oh man...!! But both are out of the range in which I am looking to spend I'm sure.

I will keep my eyes out for those colors, any specifics other then Ext. color. Interior, trim, Mods, Factory options, Price range... You have two things going for you, your in California and you have a great resource of people that can assist you in finding the perfect car.

Also I would stick with White or SY Pink Calipers won't go well with Red. Yellow and White were my two colors I was looking for too.

Thank you my dear, I appreciate it.

6speed, aerokit (want, don't have to have)
Price range is dependent upon the condition of the car.

My preference is white, with black interior or white with any.
My next choice is yellow with black interior.
Then Red with any.

Right now, dealer inventory of a white 2001 Turbo 6speed is rather limited. But, I'm looking.

Robyn, 02 cars and up are generally heavier because of the unnecessary crap that people put in their glove box
Didn't you find the door pockets are big enough for most items? It's also one less thing to rattle

01 cars also don't have the BOSE in the back, which gets in the way of adjusting the PSS-9s

Having driven yours for the weekend (which by and far was one of the most generous things!! What a great community we have when one Porsche friend lends their car to another Porscheless friend for the weekend!!), I found that the 2001 was plenty of car. The glove box is nice, but not necessary. And I probably won't keep the stock stereo anyway...I've got a full Alpine system just waiting to go in. (Cause I have been so lazy not to get it up for sale before now. So I might as well re-install it!)
