I'd agree with the exception of the automatic.

It's not a Millenium Edition (neither Violet Chromaflair paint nor Millenium Edition badging). Price seems reasonable for a Tiptronic coupe, if that's your thing.

Nice big honking double DIN hole in the dash. Sheesh. Makes me wonder what else was cobbed up or ripped out.

Not sure how that car can be a Millennium Edition -- thought those were Violet Chroma or some such thing. Makes you wonder about the rest of the car.

I wasn't sure why they were calling it that either. Misinformed I guess. Blue book is considerably higher than it sold for. Hope everything else checks out.
I bought a 99 a year ago that most guys on here wouldn't touch. High miles, no records etc. Ran and drove great. No issues. Another member bought it from me and I am sure he is enjoying it as well.

Umm... If you zoom on the 3rd image those calipers look black which means it's a C2 rather than a C4.

If it actually runs well I suppose it's a good deal, unless you actually wanted a C4 and/or Millennium.

IIRC, there was a member that had a millennium ed car that he painted white. This could be that car I'm thinking.

I'd agree with the exception of the automatic. Oh and only 92.5 positive feedback on ebay.

ME had a tan interior with wood accents, and was based on the Carrera 4 (AWD). This is a scruffy-*** C2 coupe.

It's a RWD car.

AWD wouldn't have a spare tire in the trunk, it would have an collapsible one in the floor.

White is a really nice color on a 996

Trust us a C4 does not have a stand up spare in the frunk. It is just a C2 with a big hole in the dash. And not a Millineum (sp?).......those only came in the violet chome-a-something paint.
