Default Closing on my first Porsche! 2000 996 Guards Red Factory Aero

Hello everyone!
I've been knocking around here a bit lately in advance asking questions in advance of this moment...tomorrow, I am picking up my first Porsche!
2000 996 Carrera 4. Guards Red over Savanna Beige full leather. Six speed. Carbon door inserts, shifter, and handbrake. Most importantly: factory XAA aerokit. Some other great options to round out the spec.
One owner, 43,000 miles.
CANNOT WAIT!

Very nice!!! I've owned a Guards Red/Black 996 C2 for a long, long time now and I still love the car. I love the looks of the factory aero kit option, I wish my car had the aero kit. Also, the Beige interior goes really well with the GR exterior IMHO and you're getting some nice interior upgrades as well (3 spoke steering wheel, etc.) Are the shift lever and emergency brake lever carbon fiber?

Best of luck with the new car...hope it serves you as well as mine has treated me.

Thanks so much! I'm beside myself this afternoon :-)
Yes the shift lever and handbrake are carbon fiber, as is the "Carrera 4" on the door frame!

Gorgeous! Congratulations and welcome. Funny but I have the same wheels as ACD693 and also a set like De Jeeper. Maybe I should have my car painted red.
