Default To buy or to buy is the question!?!

I'm on the fence, with my first Porsche purchase. I'm looking attwo 911's, both are 1999 cabriolets c4s, one is white with factory aero kit, black interior,tipronic autoand 45k miles, asking about$34k. The other is fur green with tan interior, hard & soft tops, leather everything in showroom condition withonly 9K miles, and 6 spd manual, asking about $45K. The white porsche looks nicer I think on the exterior, but theother porsche is aknockout interior wise, plus the mileage.Also, I can purchase a 4yr unlimited mileage warrenty on the green porsche for $3800. Any Advise!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Low mileage, if you can verify it is real.

Worth a good deal.

When you are driving the car you can see and feel the interior, not the exterior or the color.

and green is a nice color.

I have verified mileage through carfax, and was thinking along the same lines. Only hang-up was auto vs manual. Thanks for the imput.

My first reaction is that the green one is over priced.

The Kelly Blue Book on the green one is only $33k, at excellent condition, so I might try and negotiate a better price. The economy is tough right now so you can probably find your dream car for KBB or less so don't get emotional about the purchase. Looks like the white one is priced at about KBB.
