Jobbo interior

[Sundayjumper]

Praters again. They are excelling themselves

That is truly awful, inside and out!

Plus the X6M didn't even come out until 2009?! I'm not even convinced the plain x6 was out in 2007?!

Says it's registered 1.1.08 - so definitely not an actual //M.

[Mito Man]

It's clearly not an X6M, it has the standard speedo, standard wheel with no M button, standard gear selector with non of the M specific setup stuff surrounding it.

Someone buy it and return it a few weeks later saying it's been mis-sold?

[Mito Man]

Hadn't come across Praters before, they certainly have an extremely broad selection of cars for sale. From very high end to absolute sheds and everything in between.
Also I can't tell if I hate this or love this.

to be fair, it's actually quite an achievement to make an X6 even uglier!

Is it just me who hates that detailing hoover line nonsense?

[integrale_evo]

Nope, I can’t stand it either. Looks shite.

[Jobbo]

I don’t mind the hoover stripes. That tan interior though; hideous.

Actually, the pics upset me considerably; a green car with tan interior would normally be high up my want list, but this example doesn’t reach those heights - maybe it’s a photo issue?

[Jobbo]

It took me a second look to realise it’s not just tan, it’s two tone tan. That was probably a very expensive option when new. Whoever ordered it was probably very disappointed.

Hope our purple interior ordered unseen doesn’t arrive filled with regret - I doubt it

[nuttinnew]

I like that though, as someone said years ago, the seats look very flat and unsupportive for a turbot.
I could possibly prefer wood to the silver on the dash and doors, and I'd have the calipers a different colour - maybe dark beige with 'PORSCHE' in light beige

[Sundayjumper]

I don't get it. Why's the bidding already over £5k (+fees) ? The 4.5 litre engine in these is not very reliable, it's a horrible colour, and it's not even low mileage or particularly good condition. Was it owned by an "influencer" ?

[Beany]

The interior is best described as 'a bit ratty' - the area around the keyhole has more chunks missing than the remains of my psyche. Lots of lovely stonechips outside. They went to excruciating detail on the carpet strips, but didn't clean the finger grease off the steering wheel buttons. (on closer look, are those buttons brown *underneath* the labels? Either way, looks garbage)

It's honestly a bit 'autotrader priced below average' spec. I don't know why they thought (the ostensibly 'better than yaow') collecting cars was the place to advertise their slightly rough 20 year old money pit, over Autotrader or Facebook Marketplace, where it'd be more at home.

edit: Delicious:

[Mito Man]

It's probably been scratched off so it's black plastic underneath and someone has expertly colour matched it

[Mito Man]

Why is there a square cut out of the front driver and passenger transmission tunnel carpet?
Rear seats have holes in them. Front seats the foam looks fucked.
Why are the tools and everything in the under boot area rusty? Must have a long term leak.
Why is the VIN number in the windscreen partially scratched off?
Paintwork horrible.
Rear lights full of moisture.
Interior colour looks like a baby had explosive squits.

I love an S8, and the Final Edition can fetch serious money. This looks cheap, although it's got a few miles. Then I saw the interior.

[Jobbo]

That’s a colour I’d not seen before. Previously I’d have said I wanted a purple interior Final Edition but that is possibly even better. Though not the steering wheel, as ever.

yeah, steering wheel aside, I like the whole thing.

[Simon]

Perfect number plate too.
