I think you have it backwards. Ocean Jade metallic is nothing like Mint Green (which is a non metallic color). It actually looks closer to Turquoise Metallic. Now the Jade Green...that's a bit closer to the Mint Green.

FWIW...I have a one owner MY92 low mileage mint green targa with black interior. Not for sale but it would take six figures to pry it out of my hands

I agree on the ocean Jade green , I found a 92 mint green targa in Florida 6 months ago , the car had 50k miles with black interior I asked a RL member to do a Renfax and the car had some rust and it was not in good condition , I passed on the car and they were asking $45k , if your car was a coupe I would of paid you the six figures , I want a coupe how about some pictures ?

Only 39 miles and I'm looking for every excuse I can find to put break in miles on my car. Plus, I could meet the wife for lunch in Basingstoke. Seriously, if you contact the dealer and think you're interested, I would be more than happy to go take a look. I've considered going to look at it myself just because I wanted to see a Mint car in person, but I hate being a tire kicker. I'm sure some of the L9O crowd, who are probably more astute than me, would also be happy to help.

It's a great color and certainly gets noticed. Of the 4,242 North Amercian 968s produced, only one cab and two coupes were produced in N4 Mint green.

Same car, I would assume. Only asking $85k for it now, 'needing minor cosmetics.' Apparently the seller thinks color is a better than 100% premium
