Stupid question but do cabs have a different rake on the windscreen?

The "affordability" of this one is questionable, but I don't ever recall seing a C4S in this color.

And good God Almighty, is it gorgeous.

If it had a black interior, it would be perfect. And I would have already removed a kidney. I just can't get behind a non-black interior on a 996.

He either left out the 'turbo' part or he's on crack with that price.

"Askin' ain't gettin"

I'm going to guess that the price reflects the color, the new engine (IMS Failure?), and his broker fees.

Actually I think that a saddle tan interior would look amazing with the dark blue coat...on a 996TT of course...

True, though I don't mind the gray. My drab graphite gray interior looks much better with black mats, carbon fiber trim, Rennline aluminum shift knob, and a metallic black (ext color) center console. It also needs the GT3 sport seats to be really "perfect".

Don't get me started on tan leathered 996s.

If I saw a 996TT for sale with good PPI for $25k, I would still walk away if it had tan leather. It is that heinous to me.

Plus it's always accompanied by that hideous burlwood that looks straight out of a Lincoln Town Car.

Here's your dark blue 996TT. Most certainly not "Affordable 996" territory, but a certifiable rocket.

Before I was ready to buy another 996 there was a Arctic Silver over Boxster Red 996 C2 in the Atlanta area, for sale by a PCA member. GT3 sport seats, RoW M030 suspension, two sets of wheels, IMS/RMS/clutch done, $22k OBO. I wish I had that one.

Probably, I saw it online on The Mart. I think it also had some Fabspeed exhaust goodies, and 75k-ish miles. The car was basically built exactly as I would do it. If it weren't so damn far away I probably would have at least gone to look at it.

EDIT: just checked online and don't see it. Probably long gone.
