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.

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.
