that is a sick looking TT, usually not a huge fan of pinstriped wheels, but the whole setup looks great...good luck and enjoy it.

Looks great! love the white & Interior combo, is the interior Terra-Cotta? The red interior's I have seen are more like lipstick red?

I think I saw this ad on autotrader. The dealer is Diamond Auto and is on Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale. Just an FYI, these guys don't exactly have the greatest reputation in town. It's a tiny little shop and from what I'm told they buy the cheapest cars they can find from auction. My friend purchased a 335i from them last year and months later found out that the ECU wiring harness had been chewed through by mice, which wasn't a cheap fix. So anyway, just be extra cautious. I would try to find out the entire history of the car. Best of luck!

Yikes. Interesting first post

I don't know anything about them, but as long as he gets a thorough PPI with a DME scan, hopefully he should be fine.

Did a quick Google search: "Diamond Auto Scottsdale AZ". The 4th link is from ripoffreport.com:

I believe it is terra-cotta, it doesnt seem to be the carrera red.

i have mixed feelings on the lights as well, on one hand they give a nice contrast to the rear...while on the othere hand it doesnt look "clean". Regardless i am considering putting the all red taillights on, but for now these will do.

Thank you very much for the warning, i have been sure get everything in writing for future reference. The car is at the porsche dealership getting a prebuy inspection right now, therefore that should give me some security

Interior is actually tercotta, porsche's red is very bright.

also for what its worth, i think found your car from manhiem:
<TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=2 width=559 border=0><TBODY><TR bgColor=#ffff00><TD class=text width=50>12/08/09</TD><TD class=text width=70>FAAO</TD><TD class=textCenter width=55>Regular</TD><TD class=textRight width=42>$73,000</TD><TD class=textRight width=45>8,759</TD><TD class=textCenter width=36>Below</TD><TD class=text width=45>WHITE</TD><TD class=textCenter width=24>6G</TD><TD class=textCenter width=32>M</TD><TD class=textCenter width=57>No</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

not sure what the final figure is , but hopefully this info. will help you out...

yes i get the same vibe.

I included in my contract that if the porsche inspection does not pass, or if i come there and see the condition of the car isnt adequate i have my money fully refunded.
