I can't believe this car is still available. What a great deal. I pulled the trigger a few months too earlier on a 2000 996 with 49K on it (bought it privately for 20K). Otherwise this would be mine.

I'd be all over it if weren't for the color. I'm in search for a clean Aero, but this one looks to be in great condition.

I dig the color for whatever reason, guess I just haven't seen too many with that combo.

Looks like Meridian Metallic. One of those colors that looks very different under different lighting... Definitely has a champagne/gold tone to it. And sport techno wheels?

I was wondering if it was Meridian - mine is, but it doesn't seem to ever look so gold. Some describe mine as beige or tan, but it looks more silver to me. I like those wheels...

Those are aftermarket tire rack rims. They are prone to not being hub centric.

That makes sense... They look similar to OEM Sport Techno's, but weirdly twisted.

It's Paladio Pearl Metallic, AKA Mirage.

You could be right... Porsche definitely offered Mirage Metallic (option code 64) on MkII 996's, maybe the earlier cars had a similar Paladio offered.

Anyone have a 1999 order guide?

Here is a MkII turbo in the optional-but-not-paint-to-match Mirage metallic.... Looks pretty close in the pictures, definitely within the range of color balance adjustments and natural vs. indoor lighting.




What's the color code of Paladio Pearl Metallic? Pic?

Someone buy this car:

Depending on the results of a PPI, that's a good deal.

Jesus - looks almost exactly like my car that I purchased in May of 2013 (an '03 C2). I also have that same front with the built in radar front and rear and exact same interior (mine is black too !). I also had a rear factory spoiler (not the taco). I had fewer miles by that would account for the price difference.

I hope someone picks this up and has 1/2 the time and number of compliments that I have had in and on mine. What a car...

$14,500.00 for 2004 C2. High mileage, but looks like a clean car.

I went to check it out, but then read the advertisement ...

It needs to have a new clutch installed
