It claims full leather on the seat backs (and dash of course).

When did the headlights change; there are the same as my 00's. I thought it was 2001; must be an early VIN.

Chris,

Don't know the car listed, but make sure your dad isn't paying anywhere close to the $52K number the seller references what he paid for it!! that price is WAY too high!! IMHO

Car looks pretty clean, although it doesn't appear to have full leather interior.

Good Luck!! demosan

I can't tell about the full leather, you'd need better pics to tell. But full leather means dash, doors and pillars, not just seats. Looking at the pic that shows the drivers door from the inside, I don't see stitching on the long horizontal bulging area behind the door handle. Leather has the stitching, vinyl doesn't. If the description got that wrong, what else?

Thanks, guys... The buy it now is $35K which is pretty good for 25K miles. The other thing that doesn't correspond is that he claims 18" Turbo twists, but those look like the 17" Boxster/911 optional wheels (with the spokes going forward instead of back like the Turbo twists). Not sure...

I told my dad to just score a nicely optioned 2006 997 and be done with it (around $50K or so). We'll see.

I immediately noticed that as well. Make sure he looks into that...
