This poor car... even the owner doesn't love her anymore.

There is a car near me that has been on craigslist since before I bought my car - and the price is always the same ($25k) for a 99' - WELL OVER A YEAR of sitting on the lot (its a "pop lot")

I am starting to like this one - NOT !! hahaha

I think you have to live in South Beach or lala land to drive that colour combo.

I hate to say it...but I like it. It won't get lost in a sea of silver cars in the grocery store parking lot. Maybe 20 years from now it will be a classic. This is coming from somebody that had a purple 996 and loved it.
It really needs the windows tinted, so you can't see that the Nephrite green interior doesn't quite match the exterior.

I actually know someone near me with that exact same color 996TT. It looks pretty nice in real life.

I like the green, but don't like the wood accents... without the wood that car would be a lot more marketable.

I like it! I had a Zenith Blue 986 and a Orient Red Metallic 986 S...people think my color choices are iffy at best though. Tell'em $20k and I'll fly out to get it tonight.

I could actually live with the exterior color, but never with the nephrite green interior, way to much.

I had a Mercury Mountaineer with that color interior and a dark metallic green exterior and loved it. I'd take this car in a heartbeat if it didn't have the interior wood.

That's what I was thinking too. Add some black wheels and a black interior and it would be pretty interesting . . .
