Yellow 991?

[Zanderman]

Hi All,

In my search for my next car one that is fairly high on the list is the 991 Turbo S for all the usual reasons. I have come across the car below as it stands out above most of the colours I have seen (white, black, grey) and I really like it. There doesnt seem to be too many interesting Turbo S's out there on the whole. I have owned a 996 (blue) and a 991 C2S (white) before but clearly both in fairly safe colours.

My questions are:

Is it OK to have a car of this value/prestige in bright yellow?

Does a 911 work in yellow? I dont think I have seen one in the flesh in yellow before and there certainly arent many for sale in this colour.

Is it just too shouty and does a car this capable/beautiful need to be shouty?

Is it OK for a middle aged bald fat guy to drive a bright yellow sports car every or does it shout mid-life crisis/sad tt??

Would I ever be able to sell it on, I would imagine the more 'different' the colour the more difficult it would be to sell on.

Am I overthinking this and in the end it doesnt really matter?

Is it just tooo damn yellow??

This is the car in question

In the end I will clearly do what I want and its my life/car etc etc, I just don’t think I am brave enougn or could pull it off but I just wanted to get some views!

Cheers!

I think the thing is I really like that colour but another thing that occurred to me is that it might be a bit 'girly'? My wife had a look and she said it was really cute and she could see herself in it..........

So maybe I like the idea of a bold colour but maybe yellow isn't quite right. I do like the orange and green though, somehow a bit more manly?

I think I have discounted the yellow, I like it but seeing some of the other more interesting colour I think I like them better. I will keep my eye out for something I think. Having had a good look on Autotrader there arent ANY in interesting colurs at the moment...... Where the hell are they all?

I know this one isnt an interesting colour but it is a little more interesting than the norm I think.

Mostly because I would have to pay £140+k for something newer and with less miles and £110k is pushing it a bit.

Just a thought and its obviously a very personal choice on colour,so buy if you like ...but over £110k on a car with 25000 miles ? I personally wouldnt want to spend 6 figures on a car with such mileage. Nothing to do with reliability or anything ,but its a big sum to put on a car which will show signs of wear.

997 Carrera 4

Looks like a more subtle yellow than the one n my link, also is broken up with the cloth roof. Looks nice.

I was trying to imply (badly) there are better deals at similar money ..A quick look on PH shows aberdeen and hatsfield opc's have turbos ('s') of same age and much lower mileage for similar money..and you get their 2 year warranty as opposed to the 1 year you will get from alexanders.

I would prefer to get one from an OPC and most likely will when I have found one I like/fits the bill.
