Post NEED A NEW CAR!

Long and complicated story but I need a new ride. So, for the next car. I would like to get a MIDNITE BLUE but not sure about what color interior would go well. SO PLEASE POST OR SEND ME PICTURES OF YOUR MIDNITE BLUE 996.

So, now time to hit the dealers, ebay, etc etc.

Finally, if anyone of you guys see a midnite blue car for sale then please let me know. But, hopefully I can reach a dealer on the NY/NJ/CT and mabye PA.

TIA

I am a simple man. I think just the PLAIN OLD C2. This seems to suit me just fine.

Yes, not easy finding a midnite blue.

Her is my baby. I know it is a C4S, but it is blue.







Here are my options:
Advance Technic Package, Heated Seats, Wheel Caps with colored crest, In dash CD Player, Supple Leather front and rear seats, Floor Mats, and Porsche crest in headrest.

Mike,

I am going to stick to 2000-2001 model. I drove the 2002 and it is nicer but really not worth the extra for me. As for my old car. The car was sold to me from an consignment place and they couldnt finalized the paper work(the dealer is partial at fault but really he is getting screwed also).

So, I have to check the balance of my portfolio and plead(more like beg) with the MRS. But, I saw some ocean blue cabs for sale on ebay. They seem pretty reasonable priced so going to take my time. I really want a blue car this time but not sure about buying a cab.

Hope your modifications are going well! Drive safely.

bloke, as you rightfully recognize, there will be tons of deals on blue '99s. eBay is full of them. <a href="https://rennlist.com" target="_blank">Rennlist</a>, <a href="http://www.autotrader.com" target="_blank">autotrader.com</a>, <a href="http://www.dupontregistry.com" target="_blank">DuPont Registry</a> and <a href="http://autos.yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo! Classifieds</a> are other good sources.

You should have no problem picking a well-conditioned, low mileage MY99 996 for around 52K.

Regards.

I debated on a cab myself but living in San Francisco- warm weather is a rarity and opted not to get one. Modifications is a sick disease for me- almsot every car I owned has been modified so lists go on and on without abandon. I have to do it slowly or else Mrs. will disown me. regards and good luck-you chose a great color. Regards. Mike
