It was a must for me to get a 996 with an aero kit and fortunately I found mine quick, I only waited like 3 months. I have a buddy who is looking for a red 996 with factory aero and he is having a hard time...
Sometimes I help him look on sites and to be honest for every 15 996's I see, only one or maybe two have them.

When i was looking for my car it took me almost 6 months as i was specifically looking for a mkII in speed yellow with the aero. So yeah i believe factory aero's are pretty rare specially if you are looking for a specific color.

When I was looking, I would say only 15% were only available at the time. And most of the 15% were '99 models. I don't know how many they made and shipped to the US. Would be nice if someone knew that info. I ended up getting a regular version and painfully assembled and pieced together my own OEM aero kit fortunuately or unfortunately.

I see plenty of 996's (in SoCal, Porsches are everywhere) - but only a few aero. My kit is OEM, added by the previous owner. If you parked an aero and a non-aero side-by-side, most folks would probably think they were different models entirely.

to make sure aero kit is factory (and not AM), look for code XAA ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
P.S. FWIW, mine is full aero by Techart (front lip, side skirts, rear winglets and rear spoiler) and grateful that I did NOT have to pay for it

I have a XAA factory red car, it also has hard back sports seats in red and a carbon fiber center console. It has 74,xxx, will sell for the right price if he is interested. PM me for additional details. New suspension, bilstein coil overs H&R sports shocks, TRG sway bar, etc,etc.
Don't want to sell as I only have had her for a bit over a month, but if the offer is strong enough I may consider.
What is is price range and mileage requirements?

Porsche-t, DON'T DO IT!!! Your car is absolutely stunning. The white/black combo really works on the MK1-aero. I am obviously biased, but I have seen very few white aeros over the years. You would be hard pressed to find any car that looked nicer than the one you have.

I have my eye on a white GT3.

Totally agree. Of my 4 Porsches my favorite is my 996 Aero. However, the only thing that gets me more envious is Porsche-t's white aero. Probably the best looking car I have seen in a long time. The Mk1 headlights are perfect with the aero.

I am not sure what his budget is but I know he was very interested in a red one that was recently being sold here for 19k and it had around 80k miles if I recall correctly. If you guys are interested in selling, send me some pictures, mileage, details & price to pakiri.pr@gmail.com, I will foward this to him.
