I hope someone here buys that car. It has a very unique color combination which will not be something you see at a cars and coffee, etc.
Has anyone had a reply from the seller?

Next, the ad shows a set of correct, Cup II wheels seperate from the car. Definitely some questions to ask but I really don't expect a car that left the factory 17+ years ago to be as delivered, not with 42K miles on it anyway. And not for the price being asked.
Personally, I LOVE the silver/green combo. IMO it wouldn't work without the green top and full leather options, but as it is, it's different and striking.

Hey Guys –
I ended up buying this C4 cab and feel it was a great deal, and the seller even lowered the price.
It has been garaged its whole life as there no evidence of sun fading at all. Even the original top is in great shape and the rear window is clear.
I’ve been looking for a silver cab to share the garage w/ the blue bomber for few months now, so many thanks to Chuck W for posting it.
It is a very nice car loaded with leather, and the green interior appears darker in person than shown in the photos. Contrary to some opinions posted, it does not want to make one puke, and comes across being very Germanic in style.
It is color 99V7 and I need to check the tag to see if it is a “paint to sample” color.
EVERYTHING is covered in leather, the ***** on the seats, the CD storage holder, and the seat belt receptacles. Even the retractable top boot is leather as well. The original floormats are a cedar brown color w/ green lettering and piping and are in great condition. The original green top is a 9 out of 10 due to a sagging headliner in two spots, but my interior guy says he has dealt w/ that before.
It came w/ a real nice original Porsche cover, the wind deflector, a spare set of mint Cup II’s w/ nice Pirelli P-Zero’s, all manuals, leather folder and many records. A two year old battery, two sets of keys, all tools and jack (no compressor). The vert top motors have been replaced. 30K service performed. The clutch was replaced at 26K, so that gave me some concern, but it shifts great and no sign of leakage anywhere.
It was an interesting and trying task to get through to the seller who was very evasive at times, but, some good detective work and perseverance paid off. He seemed to want to choose the buyer, and he wanted it to go to a good home.
I decided to fly my mechanic out to perform a PPI and view the car, and put it on a frame machine to check for any hidden or ill-repaired damage. He kept telling me it is “mint-mint-mint” and could barely contain himself. The interior did not look that way in the photos and he expected far worse. A couple of gravel chips on the bumper, but he installed a bra for the ride home anyway.
He said there is no evidence of accident damage except the front bumper and fenders have been repainted but he feels they did a quality job.
So it seems I've ended up with a great driver for a great price.
Of course it needs a couple of things as most used cars do, but nothing vital.
My schedule is very tight, and winter is coming, so he is driving it here to Boston as I type.
Wish me luck.
I’ll probably bring to Porschefest at the Larz next summer.
Regards,

Thanks guys.
The only drawback right now is that winter is closing in fast up here. I hope to get a few top down days in before that happens.
Yes, it is loaded w/ leather. The sunvisors and seat hinge covers are leather covered as well. From the option code list it appears the headliner is Alacantra. I'll give that a closer inspection when she arrives.
