This is not necessarily Porsche related, but I will never buy a car with a light colored dashboard. I have driven cars with a full tan interior and on a sunny day, the reflections of the dashboard onto the windshield were VERY distracting. You can even see it in the one picture that shows the dashboard and the windshield.

I did a search on the VIN and this is not a C4S, just a C2S.....

If that VIN search is right, this is ridiculous. The previous owner bought the right 911 (RWD) and put the badge on for the wrong one!?

That's like buying a Corvette Z06 and putting GrandSport badges. Be proud you got the more manly car.
