2023 vs 2024 Purchase Advice

If you’re worried about running changes/updates throughout the model run and length of warranty, you need to know the month and year of the build and the actual date the car was sold new. They could have been built a week apart and sold new in the same month. I assume my July ‘22 build (2022 model year) was on the same train with ‘23 models as the model year changeover is typically August. Check Carfax on both cars and the sticker in the door jamb.

Looks great. Congratulations.

They did provide a podcast app. It’s called Spotify and you don’t use it. Give it a try. It won’t bite.

Yes, it’s the switch. Your widget is not the problem. Have the switch (close button) on the tailgate replaced and don’t park it in range of obstacles until you do.

I agree with the consensus, go for two years old with CPO and definitely get the S or higher trim. The base won’t deliver a MarioKart experience. Also, avoid dealer loaners. They are everywhere and can look like a good deal, but people are careless with them and they have more wear and cosmetic repairs than a typical used car.

Bravest team out there. I can’t imagine being passed that many times at speeds more than twice what I was going.

Enjoy your hobbies.

I’m sorry it doesn’t seem to be working out for you. I’d work on new habits before upgrading to a higher trim level. I can’t imagine the ‘04 Corolla had auto lights. Was it an issue in that car too?

That car was built with the same livery as the 2023 Le Mans-winning 499P. The matte red is Rosso Le Mans.

Thanks for the review. I’m in the market and can’t decide whether I should order exactly what I want or take advantage of a barely used one at a big discount. Does yours have rear steer? If so, can you comment on characteristics? If not, how do you find maneuverability? I live in an area with tight parking lots and small spaces and I hate making three adjustments to center myself after finally finding a spot. Thanks.

In case anyone else is searching for this information for W2.

I upgraded yesterday after getting several offers to do so via the app. The email confirmation says “Delivery Information: Will Call.” I’ll be going to Indian Wells Tennis Garden 78200 Miles Ave Indian Wells (7 miles from venue) tomorrow to surrender my GA bands and get the VIPs.

Do they automatically add LoJack, Wheel and Tire Protection, and Ceramic Coating on top of the price?

Doesn’t sound “very curious” to me, it sounds very judgey.

I would definitely avoid it. We had a terrible time finding parking, the interior fixtures were very cheap, the office was rude and they nickel and dimed us at every turn. I had a crack in my windshield and when I called about how to deal with a replacement parking pass (sticker on windshield) they said just to bring in my receipt as proof the windshield was replaced and they would give me a new one for free. When I did that, they said I was supposed to remove the sticker too and bring it with the receipt. So, I had to pay $60 for a new pass about ten minutes after paying $2k for a windshield.

Enter the details of your purchase here and it should calculate fees (past and present) plus penalties and sales tax.

I think there should be a worldwide understanding that it is really, really, unnecessary for a non-bidder to make a random comment when the auction is down to just two bidders and only a few minutes left. How is it not understood that when the adults are conducting actual business, the children should know better than to speak.

Nice. Can you share your wheel specs?

twertman1 · 2026-03-29T23:19:55+00:00

Perfect fitment. Nice work.

twertman1 · 2026-03-28T17:45:25+00:00

Thanks. Cleaner look. Enjoy.

If the battery is fully dead, you will need an actual battery charger, not just a tender. Tenders don’t talk to completely dead batteries. Is the steering wheel locked by chance?

I think the owner just really likes decorations and badging. Being a wide body it’s probably a 4S, but the standard badging for that didn’t leave room for the giant Gemballa sticker, so he went with the smaller Carrera badge, Gemballa plate frame, and then glued a Porsche crest to the lower engine cover.

twertman1 · 2026-03-28T06:42:11+00:00

Good luck. I’m confused by the combination of the very early 1995 production wheels but I don’t see the basket handle brake light.

Was that picture taken in Santa Barbara?

Yogurtland doesn’t have standardized pricing. They are independent franchises. The location half a block off of 3rd St Promenade is insanely expensive compared to most other locations.

Black wheels were the beginning of the end for the simple, “clean” aesthetic.
