Jplouis if you can get a picture of option sticker under front hood paint code will be listed, 998 or 999 indicate a PTS color, if so under front trunk carpet on drivers side wing should have a sticker listing color name. It does look like it has a bit more blue in it but that could be lighting.

That looks too blue for Polar Silver. My car is Polar Silver and I have to park it next to Arctic Silver to see the difference.

Not local to me so can’t take pictures. The factory aero kit is a nice touch on that one.

Does this seem legit? Little leary of the all caps copy and "no scammers" message... I have emailed and texted and have not received a reply.

Well, I gave the number a shot, guy did answer, sounds like he's on the up & up, a small "dealer" who buys cars, repairs them and sells them for a reasonable price.

He mentioned the ecm under the seat got wet - carpet is fine, seats are fine, no mustiness, but he replaced the ecm. The passenger side doesn't lock, the remote doesn't cooperate, but the alarm does work.

Interesting...I know the cabs had water intrusion issues that took out the security system brain under the seat but I wonder how that much water got into a coupe? I guess someone could have left the window down in a rain storm? Overall a nice looking specimen but some $$$ would be needed to get the security system working again as well as a good PPI.

I'm not allowed to buy a 996 because I just bought a Taycan CT4 a couple months ago. Doesn't stop me from looking though. Thought I'd share some white 996s I've found, all 6 speeds.

99 Aerokit 43k miles $40k 03 Ohlins suspension 123k miles $27k autotrader

03 Sunroof delete 22k miles $38k ebay

99 157k miles $25k craigslisg

99 Tan interior 69k miles $31k Not white
01 Yellow for good measure 82k miles $31k ​​​​​​​

I'm not affiliated with any of these or verified anything about them. Just things I found going down the 996 rabbit hole.

No usually the preview just says not available or whatever. When you click the link they load normally

The Seattle car looks like it wears Horizon Blue paint - too blue for polar silver...
