Price is usually the main reason, and not everyone wants to drive a "yellow" car.

Traditionally, yellow is the hardest color to sell of any car

Yellow is a love it or hate it color. It looks great on some cars and not others, in my opinion.

Sure, I get it... it’s all subjective I suppose. Personally, I think yellow looks fantastic on a 996, my buddy has a Targa and I think it looks the bees knees....

I think it was Joe Rogan that said something similar to "Homosexuality is like yellow cars. It's cool if you are into it, but it's just not my thing."

that is gorgeous!
can you ask him where I can get that chin/lip/splitter spoiler underneath front bumper? Maybe a part number? Mine is missing and I can't seem to find a 996.2 gt3 one.
thanks!

I think the speed yellow looks hideous on a 996 and just never liked yellow cars in general until I saw this pastel yellow on a 996. Instantly fell in love.

Relatively high miles for the asking price, but EVERYTHING done. Could be a good buy for someone looking for a targa who won't have to worry about adding miles.

Yeah, but unfortunately this one's got a powerful "V6" engine.

LOL, I didn't say it would be chock ablock with good history or anything, lol...just seemed a reasonable price for what looks to be a clean '99. These small dealers are something else.

A 4S in Orient Red which seems to be quite rare, looks great to my eye.
