Well, I got it. Cosmetically, it’s perfect. I did notice a clicking noise at low speeds, while making significant right turns, coming from the front left wheel after I got it home though. Not a nail, but similar noise. Guess it’ll go in for inspection asap.

Nice work jinrvsl! Drive it in good health!. I am sure the clicking is not much and will be corrected. Is it certified? If so they own it, no worries!

I don't think you'll miss it as much as you think, unless you tracked your 996.2 I too had to give up my 991.1 when I got my LC. The LC sounds badder and is just as fast as my 991. The ride is so much better, and the looks are just great, nobody seems to know what it is. Good luck on your purchase.

Hi everyone, just got my LC this past weekend! I've been lusting after them since they came out, and was finally able to pull the trigger! I'm over the moon, found a rare deal on a 2021: I wanted to buy new, but I found this one in my ideal color combo (nori green w/ tan interior). The dealership owner had bought it, put 250 miles on it and then left it in the showroom. So I was able to snag it with the original warranty PLUS the CPO warranty, as it was technically used. Car is everything I thought it would be: beautiful, comfortable and the engine note is sublime. One thing the reviews don't tell you is how good the cabin smells!

Stand alone neither color does all that much for me (and my fav color is green), but put those two together and it's a HOME RUN!! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L my friend, congrats to you!!

Just purchased last week in Virginia and drove it back to New York. Waited almost 2 years and finally took the plunge

2020 nightfall mica with rioja red interior. sport/carbon fiber roof and rear spoiler.
21” wheels (a must!)
8900 miles on the clock

More pictures to come after my first complete home detail.

Congrats on that rare spec! Trust me, I know! It took me a while to find that combination when I was searching back in 2018. Congrats man and drive her in good health!
